Works ASCII RST (RST)

The ASCII RST (Representation Style Table) files are supported by GeoGateway for read and write. The RST is used to attach a representation to vector layers in some Works applications. It consists of a list of representation styles (REPCode, integer value) with a graphical primitive and some parameters for each REPCode in the following format:

 GDBRST 1.0 Representation Style Table
 #
 Table <Table_descriptive_name>
 Symbols <Symbol_dataset_filename>
 Groups
 <GroupId>, <Description>
 <GroupId>, <Description>
 ...
 ...
 <GroupId>, <Description>
 Repcodes
 <Repcode>,<Part_Number>,<GroupId>,<PrimId>,<Priority>,<Description>
               <Parameter_name1> = <Value>
               <Parameter_name2> = <Value>
               ...
               <Parameter_nameN> = <Value>
 <Repcode>,<Part_Number>,<GroupId>,<PrimId>,<Priority>,<Description>
               <Parameter_name1> = <Value>
               <Parameter_name2> = <Value>
               ...
               <Parameter_nameN> = <Value>
 ...
 ...
 EndTable

Export of Works ASCII RST files is supported. These files are exported with a type of "RST", if it is possible to acquire a representation table from the source layers. The RST file can only contain 1 layer.

Only one RST can be stored in each file and it is always in segment 1.

An empty text file may be produced if exported from a file that does not contain an RST.
