KML is mix of formatting and feature data. When writing KML, attributes are added to the output with the following HTML structure: -
<b>Attribute name</b>: Attribute content+
Attribute name: Attribute content
The OGR KML driver supports multiple layers of data. Each input layer is translated into a separate KML "Folder" element.
The following creation options are supported:
ogr2ogr -f KML output.kml input.shp -dsco NameField=RegionName
ogr2ogr -f KML output.kml input.shp -dsco AltitudeMode=absolute+
+The Google Earth seems to have some limits regarding the number of coordinates in complex geometries like polygons. +If the problem appears, then problematic geometries are displayed completely or partially covered by vertical stripes. +Unfortunately, there are no exact number given in the KML specification about this limitation, so the KML driver +will not warn about potential problems. One of possible and tested solutions is to simplify a line or a polygon to remove +some coordinates. +Here is the whole discussion about this issue on the Google KML Developer Forum, in the polygon displays with vertical stripes thread. +
