Hello fellow coders!
I am doing a little school project at the moment where I have to use geo-spatial data that was downloaded in the .shp ("Shapefile") format. This file type is primarily intended for specialized graphical software. However I just need to represent it numerically and I am pretty sure there is a way to convert .shp into csv file.
I did a bit of research and I found out about GDAL python library which presumably can do the job. Though, because it is quite rare, there is zero documentation on the web on how to use it.
In case anybody has ever had a chance to use it, could you please explain to me how to use it. What do I normally do in the cases, where no documentation can be found nowhere?
What I have tried:
I have installed GDAL package for anaconda. I am using Anaconda for compiling python.
