NTXShape is a GIS data conversion tool that translates CARIS NTX interchange files into the ESRI shapefile format. It converts points, lines, polygons, text, spot heights, and soundings, preserving virtually all of the information found in the source data. It includes a command-line interface and a static library.

Recent commentsAdditional functionality on Win32 / plans for Unix
This was stripped out by the freshmeat editors since we have a UNIX focus here, but I should point out that on Win32 NTXShape includes an ArcView 3.x extension and a Visual Basic type library.
I would like to support a cross-platform scripting API, e.g. a native Python module or SWIG bindings. SWIG may require volunteer support since I have not used it before.
I would also like to produce a graphical front end that doesn't require ArcView 3.x, e.g. something that can be run standalone or from ArcToolbox. This might be written in Visual Basic using the new API. It might also be written in Python and work across platforms. Again, for this, volunteer support would be appreciated.
