Detailed Description

A convenience class for writing vector files to disk.

There are two possibilities how to use this class:

  1. static call to QgsVectorFileWriter::writeAsShapefile(...) which saves the whole vector layer
  2. create an instance of the class and issue calls to addFeature(...)

Currently supports only writing to shapefiles, but shouldn't be a problem to add capability to support other OGR-writable formats.
