Building an Index with the PGD Builder
Description
This process generates an index (a PGD or prepared geometry file) for a single TAB file. It creates one PGD file for each TAB file, except in the case of a seamless TAB for which it creates a PGD file for each sub-TAB in the seamless TAB.
Usage
PGDBuilder -f <file> [-p <parallel>]
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -f <file> | yes | Path and file name for the TAB file for which you are generating a PGD file. |
| -p <parallel> | no | The maximum number of concurrent processes to run The default is the number of CPUs
available on the machine. When generating PGD files for a seamless TAB, one thread is used for each sub-TAB and these threads are run concurrently. In this case, consider setting a lower number to prevent performance issues with your machine. |
Examples
This request will generate a PGD file for the uk.tab file.
PGDBuilder -f C:/data/uk.tabThis request will generate a PGD file for a seamless TAB file, limited to 4 concurrent threads.
PGDBuilder -f C:/seamless.tab -p 4
