[Gvsig_english] Multipart geometries editing

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Flavio,

gvSIG does not have the ability to split multi-part polygons so each of 
the "parts" can be manipulated seprately.

The Sextante 0.5 Plug-in has a routine though called "Separate 
multi-part features" under the menu "Tools for Cector layers".

This creates a new file where any multi-part polygon is split into its 
component parts.

If you do not have Sextante 0.5 running you can find the instructions 
for installation here...

Cheers Simon
