OGR Converter Plugin

The OGR Layer Converter plugin adds the ability to convert vector data from one OGR-supported vector format to another. The plugin is very simple to run, and only requires a few parameters to be specified before running: <P>

• Source Format/Datset/Layer: Enter OGR format and path to the vector file to be converted
• Target Format/Datset/Layer: Enter OGR format and path to the vector output file
