The main goal is to have a VERY simple tool to make small operations on shapefiles from the shell

Centroids

Os atributos da "feature" (registro) são copiados dos polígonos para os pontos

[pt] Gera "centroids" (pontos) a partir de um shapefile de polígonos, copiando todos os atributos para o novo shapefile.

Usage:

# in your shell
$ python3 getplot_centroids -f <path-to-shapefile.SHP>

Result

The result is a new shapefile containing 1 layer of points (cetroids)

Polygons	Centroids

All the attibutes are copied too to the new shape

UNION

Unifica Geometrias de Polígonos
