Record shape​

Records include a type field for the section:

  • ARC — arcs with id, topology fields, npoints, coordinates, fields
  • PAL — polygons with id, fields
  • LAB — labels with id, x, y, fields

Other section types raise ValueError. Files should start with an EXP header or recognizable sections.

Usage​

from iterable import open_iterable

with open_iterable("coverage.e00") as source:
    for feat in source:
        if feat["type"] == "ARC":
            print(feat["id"], len(feat["coordinates"]))
        elif feat["type"] == "LAB":
            print(feat["id"], feat["x"], feat["y"])
