Overview
A shape type of 0 indicates a null shape, with no geometric data for the shape. Each feature type (point, lie, polygon, etc.) supports nulls - it is valid to have points and null points in the same shapefile. Often null shapes are place holders; they are used during shapefile creation and are populated with geometric data soon after they are created.
