Question: How load shapefiles .shp in your GIS?

[parisa-hr]

Hi

I'm encountering challenges when trying to load .shp shapefiles into your GIS.
I don't know how should I do this.
I want to ask you for help me and guid me how can I load different map format like : Shp , ECW and etc.
I kindly ask for guidance and support in addressing these challenges.

Your expertise and assistance in helping me navigate this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support!

Best regards,
Parisa

I would love to see that feature (shape file support), too. I would pay for it.

There are some open source libraries to read shape files - for example GDAL (https://gdal.org/). GDAL seems rather complex, but there is also a simple C library (http://shapelib.maptools.org/). QGIS (open source) also has shape file support - maybe some code or inspiration could be gathered there.

Hmm. It is feature which I was always hope to avoid :) . I will try to find time to introduce basic support for data parsing (at least for shapefiles).

Check QtPBFImagePlugin, it can load vector tiles just like raster and it's really easy to implement. All you need to do is install the Qt plugin and get tiles in pbf format (you can convert SHP to MBTiles for example and serve tiles). There is some limitation on painting with large zoom, but you can try to solve this problem (you have to send current zoom to QImage loadFromData function).

Thanks so much. Please add vector features for this great repo. Kind of y!

Have a look at my PR #53 for an example.
