Hi,

Can anyone give me a hint on how to extract/filter/subset
polygons from a shapefile based on an attribute of its dbf
table ?

Example:

shapefile: world.shp
attributes of its dbf table: ID, AREA, COUNTRY, ...

How can I plot a shapefile with only countries above a certain AREA value ?

Thank you very much,
