I am trying to add vector file functionality to my program, including support for *.evf, *.shp (shapefiles), and *.e00 files. Are there any functions/add-ons/resources in IDL, ENVI, or anywhere else that would enable me to work with those files. All i've found in IDL are some functions to work with shapefiles, and even among those ones, there is no way to display the vector data once read from the shapefile without manually parsing through all the types of entities within the file. Haven't found ANY support for evf or e00 formats, which both still seem to be supported by ENVI. All I'm really looking for are methods to open these files, display the data, and convert it to raster image format. Please help!...
