Description

The tool allows one to generate point, line or polygon shapes from a table with the following attribute fields:

- identifier
- x coordinate
- y coordinate
- optional: z coordinate (this will create a 3D shapefile)

The table must be sorted in vertex order.

The identifier has different meanings:

* Point Shapes: The identifier is arbitrary

* Line Shapes: The identifier is unique for each line

* Polygon Shapes: The identifier is unique for each polygon; the first polygon vertex may but must not be duplicated in order to close the polygon
