Shapefile exportation #34

Open NicoTex opened 5 years ago

NicoTex commented 5 years ago

Two issues regarding perhaps the same problem:

I can't open the exported shapefile in a GIS (e.g.: ArcGIS). Error explication of ArcGis: "Number of shapes does not match the number of table records". This problem was not there last year.
When open shapefile in R software, it opens as a multipolygon with bioregions info not matching with Infomap website output. Last year the exported shapefile used to open in R as specific polygons for each grid cell.

Any suggestion or help ?

I have the same problem right now. It is impossible to make the .shp running in ArcGIS. I tried to fix the .dfb object with shapechk and lost the regions identified with InfoMap.

Does anyone know how to make the .shp file going properly in a GIS?

I'm experiencing the same issue with the old site (shapefile not opening in arcgis. it does open in qgis but the attribute table is incomplete-only shows one row). And the new site https://www.mapequation.org/bioregions2/ doesn't seem to have an export function enabled.

Thanks for the update @jivelasquezt! The issue seems to be https://github.com/mapbox/shp-write/issues/88. In the fix referenced above I downgraded shp-write but in a later update of dependencies I unfortunately updated shp-write again.

Now I have reverted that, so please try again.

Exportation of shapefiles will soon be available on version 2 also.

Thanks a lot, looking forward to trying it know. I was able to get around the issue by reading the geojson into R which didn't present any issues.
