Exports - BaseStruct - add shapefile option #419

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be useful to export data sets to shapefile formats.  We can now do it 
for trees (see issue #410) so it is not too hard to also do so for basestructs. 

We can export up to three numeric axes (x, y, z).  Extra axes can be duplicated 
shapes with differentiation done via the database table.

Initial code and test.  
Generates sensible shapefile, but we need to handle the various combinations 
(and point data).  Axes should also be the element_name_array values, not the 
element_name_coord values.

Report element arrays in the dbf, not coords.
Add tests to check generated shapefile matches input.

Handle text axes.
Refactor the subtest into a sub for re-use.

2-d is working.  Need to handle 3-d data.

Add test for 3d data.  
Exporting to 3d shapes is off the cars for now.  It is messy, and seems not to 
be often used.  In the case of Biodiverse files one can use extrusion methods 
given the relevant z-axis values.

Need to add vertices in the correct order.  Currently it is reversed, and this 
causes issues with ArcGIS analyses.

Create polygon in the correct order (anticlockwise).

Remaining task is to export a .csv file if the field names exceed 11 characters 
(the DBF limit).  If they are all shorter than 11 characters than then we can 
add the data to the shapefile itself.

Also need to allow point exports.  This can be a flag in the export metadata.

See also relevant changes in issue 408.  

It supports repeated shape exports for lists.

issue 408 also supports point exports, so this can be merged into it.
