read_shapefile/1

read_shapefile(filename)

This predicate reads a standard G.I.S. "shape-file" (*.SHP), converting

all the G.I.S. information to Prolog terms, asserted in a Global Database.

This predicate needs a new implementation using hard disk storage, rather than RAM-memory; it is ommitted in the very first version of G.I.S. Prolog (version 1.00), released in February 2005.
