KML2SBX - developing a new tool

Post by roger-wilco-66 » Sun Oct 30, 2011 12:05 am

Hi,

I work together with a friend on a simple freeware tool that converts KML vector lines from Google Earth into the SBX (or maybe SHP) format. In order to understand the header of a SBX file I would like to ask if the following parameters are documented somewhere a little bit more in depth (please ignore the values):

ClassGridVIEW=1
Zoom= 1
LatDispCenter= -8.69258876890769
LonDispCenter= 157.547501277313
LatLandCenter= -8.69258876890769
LonLandCenter= 157.547501277313

The goal of developing this tool is to easily convert kml coastlines, lakes and islands into SBX with some user configurable functions like harmonizing the vector line and so on.

TIA,
Mark

Just for the record, I guess this is only relevant for the display of the object in SBX. We'll code it this way, and see what happens...

Cheers,
