igds_type: igds_shape
Shape features are used in IGDS to represent closed polygons. The first coordinate in a shape feature must be equal to the last coordinate. Such features are stored in and read from IGDS files in one of two ways, depending on the number of coordinates in their boundaries:
|
Number of |
IGDS Element |
Description |
|
In V7: Between 3 and 101 In V8: Between 3 and 5000 |
6 |
If the coordinates can fit in a single element, then an IGDS type 6 element is used to store the shape. |
|
In V7: Greater than 101 In V8: Greater than 5000 |
14, 4 |
If the coordinates cannot fit into a single element, then they are grouped together into a complex shape element (type 14). This consists of a single type 14 element, followed by as many type 4 elements as required to hold all the coordinate data. The type 4 elements have their complex bit turned on. Furthermore, such a complex shape element will be split into multiple complex line string elements if the size of the data exceeds the maximum size that the header can address, which is approximately 65K words. |
Shape elements have the following attributes.
