MapInfo files are also known as TAB or MID/MIF files. The .DAT, .ID, .MAP files are also associated with .TAB files. Here's an example: border.DAT border.ID border.MAP border.TAB The term MID/MIF refers to files with .MID and .MIF extension. Data access/connection method
MapInfo files already contain styling information. This styling information can be used optionally by specifying the STYLEITEM "AUTO" parameter in the LAYER object of the map file. If you use STYLEITEM "AUTO", you must have an empty class in the layer. ogrinfo examplesHere's an example that uses ogrinfo on a single TAB file: > ogrinfo elev5_poly.TAB Had to open data source read-only. INFO: Open of 'elev5_poly.TAB' using driver 'MapInfo File' successful. 1: elev5_poly (Polygon) Here's an example that uses ogrinfo to examine the structure of the file/layer: > ogrinfo elev5_poly.TAB elev5_poly Had to open data source read-only.
