Guys:
I have been using Openmap for a few years and it has worked perfectly.
Thanks.
I use openmap to create shapefiles. As the project has grown over time,
these shapefiles
are getting quite big. The dbf file especially gets big, on the order of
50 MB or so.
As I am writing to the shapefiles, I do not want to consume too much
memory. Since the shapefile
may contain hundreds of thousands of points or lines, I would rather write
to the shapefile incremently
and not all points in one shot.
How do I go about doing that? Does something like this works:
String name = "someLayer";
shxStr = new FileOutputStream( name + ".shx" );
shpStr = new FileOutputStream( name + ".shp" );
dbfStr = new FileOutputStream( name + ".dbf" );
ShxOutputStream shxStream = new ShxOutputStream( shxStr);
ShpOutputStream shpStream = new ShpOutputStream( shpStr);
DbfOutputStream dbfStream = new DbfOutputStream(dbfStr);
boolean done = false;
int nameLength = 20;
while(done == false) {
Vector nodes = getMoreNodes();// get more points to write
if (nodes == null) {
done = true;
continue;
}
EsriLayer pointsLayer = new EsriLayer("Points Layer",
ShapeConstants.SHAPE_TYPE_POINT, 2);
DbfTableModel pointsModel = pointsLayer.getModel();
setModelColumn(pointsModel, 0, 0, nameLength, "name",
DbfTableModel.TYPE_CHARACTER);
setModelColumn(pointsModel, 1, 0, 6, "type",
DbfTableModel.TYPE_CHARACTER);
for (Enumeration e= nodes.elements(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) {
Integer irn = (Integer) e.nextElement();
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
MeterInfo info = getMeterInfo(irn);
if (info != null) {
EsriPoint p = new EsriPoint(info.mLat, info.mLon);
al.add(0, info.mName);
al.add(1, "orphan");
pointsLayer.addRecord(p, al);
}
}
EsriGraphicList list = layer.getEsriGraphicList();
DbfTableModel model = layer.getModel();
int[][] imageData = shpStream.writeGeometry( list );
shxStream.writeIndex( imageData, list.getType(), list.getExtents()
);
dbfStream.writeModel(model);
}
shpStr.close();
shxStr.close();
dbfStr.close();
Thanks
