Description

Poor man's utility to create a vector dataset (points or single polygon) from an ASCII textfile. A better alternative is to use virtual vector datasets. Specify the position of the vertices (x and y) in the columns defined by the options (-x -y), starting from 0. The default is to use the first (-dx 0) and second (-dx 1) columns for x and y respectvely. Specify the names and types of the remaining columns in your input file via the option pairs -n and -ot respectively. The default field separator is space.
