Shapefile Parsing for Scala

Overview

Scala Shapefile is an experimental library that provides support for parsing shapefiles.

What's supported now?

All standard X,Y geometries. Only .shp files are supported. The index file (.shx), projection file (.proj) and database file (.dbf) are currently ignored.

What will be supported (at some point)?

Indexed access and DBF will be added soon. Lazy access will also be added before too long.

Example

import geotrellis.shapefile.{Parser,Record}

val p:Seq[Record] = shapefile.Parser("src/test/resources/UScounties.shp")

Each record contains an id and jts Geometry
