Geometry
=================

Basically this module helps to speed up and to simplify the interaction with the ``ogr``-API.
Extremely convient if you want to save geomtries and their attributes to a GIS format.

.. autoclass:: ogr_utils.geometry.Geometry
    :members: __init__, make_lines, make_points, make_polygons

Example
--------------

Save a set of geo objects to a shapefile (or any other file format supported by ogr)::
    
    from ogr_utils.geometry import Geometry
    g = Geometry( [(xy),], [(fieldname_1, type),(fieldname_2, type),], [(value_field_1,...),(value_field_2,...)] )
    f = '/home/.../outfile.shp'
    g.make_points(f)
