  • possible duplicate of How to generate jVector map for UK - rather than asking a near identical Question again, I recommend that you consider editing your original one to make what you have already tried clearer.

  • @PolyGeo i don't know how to find country_name_index, country_code_index and longitude in order to generate map for UK. when i tried some values say., 12,13 and 54.33 i got an inappropriate map output.

    As stated in the documentation you can use tools like ogrinfo(gdal.org/ogrinfo.html) to help you find out the specifics of your shape file. Or provide a link to your shapefile.

Finally, i found the values of --country_name_index and --country_code_index with the help of QGIS Browser,

Qgis Browser

Opened the shapefile using QGis Browser and then in the "Attributes" section the following things are found. It is based on zero indexed.

--country_name_index 6

--country_name_index 5

for --longitude0 -3.7(googled it) That's it! I got the output.

Thanks everyone

    For this to qualify as an Answer that I could upvote, I think you should describe in more detail how precisely QGIS Browser helped you find those values, and what values you found.
