# simple-lpk
Simple tool for creating an ArcGIS layer package from a shapefile.
This tool simply applies pre-created layer files to a shapefile, and adds them to a zip file with the appropriate
folder layout.
This tool is intended for content contributors to [Data Basin](http://databasin.org/) who are otherwise unable to create layer packages (one of the few supported upload formats at this time).
The pre-generated styles are:
* red dots for point shapefiles
* black lines for line shapefiles
* black outlines for polygon shapefiles
## Installation:
* Make sure you have [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing.html#pip-included-with-python) installed first
* Download this repository
* From the source directory, run ```pip install -e .```
## Example Usage:
```console
> pkg_lpk in.shp
```
creates a file called `in.lpk`
Wildcards are allowed:
```console
> pkg_lpk *.shp
```

For full-featured GIS and creation of layer packages, we encourage you to obtain [ArcGIS Desktop](http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop/pricing). Nonprofit and discount licenses are also available.
