Shptree notes

shptree Depth

No depth parameter was used for the shptree command, which means the shptree code would determine the optimal depth. The determined depths were:

file	depth
building	21
contour-0	16
contour-1	17
contour-2	17
contour-3	17
contour-4	17
contour-5	15
contour-6	17
contour-7	17
industry	17
motorway	10
point-labels-for-geometry	15
point-labels-no-geometry	18
ramp	14
road	14
settlement	16
track	16

Verifying the qix file

• shptreetst utility was used to verify the integrity of qix file
• you should see a message like:

 $ shptreetst contour-0.qix
