hi all, i am new to the mailing list interested in writing a java application that reads and manipulates shapefiles.
i have currently successfully written code to read DBF files to extract data for each row and column using the DBFTableModel.
i am not an ESRI person by trade so i am all new to this. i dont know what ESRI calls each shape within a shapefile..is it an ESRIGraphicsList for example?
File Bounds: ( -89.632, 30.174,0,0)
to ( -89.323, 30.648,0,0)
Shape:0 (Polygon) nVertices=122, nParts=1
Bounds:( -89.523, 30.616, 0, 0)
to ( -89.495, 30.648, 0, 0)
( -89.512, 30.648, 0, 0) Ring
( -89.508, 30.648, 0, 0)
( -89.503, 30.648, 0, 0)
( -89.500, 30.648, 0, 0)
( -89.495, 30.648, 0, 0)
( -89.496, 30.647, 0, 0)
( -89.496, 30.646, 0, 0)
( -89.496, 30.645, 0, 0)
( -89.497, 30.645, 0, 0)

i would like to just simply be able to traverse through each shape within the shapefile, store all the data into memory and use it how i need to. i am just not experienced enough with esri lingo to know what class i need to use to get this data.
can someone help ?? thanks in advance!!
