It's a shame that it's not done automatically, but it's hard to differentiate ESRI WKT definitions from OGC ones without searching all parameters for known ESRI keywords.
However, if the WKT is inside a .prj file (as part of a shapefile), I think the OGR Shapefile driver does do the morphFromESRI automatically On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Matthieu Rigal <[email protected]> wrote: > Brilliant !
