; Start the application

e = ENVI()

 

; Open an input file

File = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi_vectors.shp', Subdir=['data'], $

Vector = e.OpenVector(File)

 

; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks

Task = ENVITask('ExportVectorToKML')

 

; Define inputs

Task.INPUT_VECTOR = Vector

Task.OUTPUT_URI = e.GetTemporaryFilename('.kml')

 

; Run the task

Task.Execute
