How to update a shp file with other shp files/images extents.

[VaL]

Hi all
I have a folder with shp files and geo tiffs.
What I want is to create a new shp file and insert all other files' extent envelopes in it.

What I can do using python is:

I can get the extents of each file.
I can create a shp file and add fields to it.


The question is how do I create and add the geometry of each feature to the new shp file?

Ideas appreciated.

You need to ask this in the Python category... someone there will be able to help you.
