This task exports a vector to a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) or compressed KMZ (Keyhole Markup Language Zipped) file format. See the URI argument in ENVI::OpenVector for supported vector formats.

Example


; Start the application
e = ENVI()
 
; Open an input file
File = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi_vectors.shp', Subdir=['data'], $
  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Vector = e.OpenVector(File)
 
; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks
Task = ENVITask('ExportVectorToKML')
 
; Define inputs
Task.INPUT_VECTOR = Vector
Task.OUTPUT_URI = e.GetTemporaryFilename('.kml')
 
; Run the task
Task.Execute
