Introduction
The 'Shoreline' toolbox allows to export shoreline data of Delft Dashboard. Delft Dashboard makes use of the World Vector Shoreline (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency - NGA).The resolution of this data set is about 500 m.
Usage of the toolbox
A shoreline file (.ldb) can be generate using the following steps:
- Define the polygon from which you want to extract the shoreline location. The two alternatives are:
- “Draw Polygon” to newly create a polygon. Double click to close the polygon.
- “Load Polygon” to load an existing polygon (*.pol). “Export” to export the polygon in *.ldb format.
- Define the scale
- Click on “Export” to export the polygon in a ldb-format
Figure: With the Shoreline toolbox one can easily get the shoreline of any specific area as shown in the example of the west coast of Australia
