Re: [Talk-ca] mygeodata.eu - canvec gml 2 shp

2010-12-29 Thread Chris Browet 

 So it would be cool if someone who knows how, to convert it to .shp
 format, or explain how (using python) .and just share the files.


Just for info, Merkaartor 0.17 should be able to open your gml directly (as
far as GDAL can...)
If you have problems, send me an example and I'll fix it for you.

Not yet. GDAL export (i.e. SHP, GML, KML, you name it, is coming...)


 What is the maximum file size that it can handle?


The size of your RAM. I don't know what your gml's are made of but importing
a whole city should work.



 unlike josm, where i can pump up the ram that the program uses, is
 there a way to make it use more resources?


See above. Merkaartor is a native program, so it can uses whatever resources
your machine has.

If you send me one of the gml, I could tell you if Merkaartor can handle it.
