Tclshp: a Tcl API for shapelib

Author: Devin Eyre

Abstract

This paper describesTclshp, a Tcl API for shapelib, and my experiences creating it . It contains an interface to all the main shapelib C API functions, and includes TCL interface procedures to make it easier to work with. Shapelib is an open-source library of functions used to read and write shapefiles and the associated xBase database files, which are most often used in Geographical Information Systems applications.
