RE: [OpenMap Users] problem with esri files?

ShapeType,

Aslo the EsriPlugIn class gets the shape type in one of its constructors
and saves it as a member variable. There is a white paper on shape
files at http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf that
describes all possible shape types. ArcView is a free download at
www.esri.com . It can view shape files and meta data.

Subject: Re: [OpenMap Users] problem with esri files?

I obtained the files from the ESRI web site. They are esri shape files
and the city block data and the water data are separate files that came
from the same esri web site. If I add some opacity to the water data it
does paint over the block data gradually as you said. How would I find
out whether is is polygons or polylines?
