Macro Definition Documentation

◆ OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_BEGIN

#define OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_BEGIN	(	hFeat,
		hLayer
	)

Value:

{ \
        OGRFeatureH hFeat = CPL_NULLPTR; \
        OGR_L_ResetReading(hLayer); \
        while( true) \
        { \
            if( hFeat ) \
                OGR_F_Destroy(hFeat); \
            hFeat = OGR_L_GetNextFeature(hLayer); \
            if( !hFeat ) \
                break;

Conveniency macro to iterate over features of a layer.

Typical usage is:

OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_BEGIN(hFeat, hLayer)
{
     // Do something, including continue, break;
     // Do not explicitly destroy the feature (unless you use return or goto
     // outside of the loop, in which case use OGR_F_Destroy(hFeat))
}
OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_END(hFeat)

In C++, you might want to use instead range-based loop:

for( auto&& poFeature: poLayer )
{
}

Parameters

hFeat	variable name for OGRFeatureH. The variable will be declared inside the macro body.
hLayer	layer to iterate over.

Since: GDAL 2.3

◆ OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_END

#define OGR_FOR_EACH_FEATURE_END ( hFeat )

Value:

} \
        OGR_F_Destroy(hFeat); \
    }

End of iterator.

Function Documentation

◆ OGR_AreTypeSubTypeCompatible()

int OGR_AreTypeSubTypeCompatible	(	OGRFieldType	eType,
		OGRFieldSubType	eSubType
	)

Return if type and subtype are compatible.

Parameters

eType	the field type.
eSubType	the field subtype.

Returns: TRUE if type and subtype are compatible

Since: GDAL 2.0

◆ OGR_Dr_CopyDataSource()

OGRDataSourceH OGR_Dr_CopyDataSource	(	OGRSFDriverH	hDriver,
		OGRDataSourceH	hSrcDS,
		const char *	pszNewName,
		char **	papszOptions
	)

This function creates a new datasource by copying all the layers from the source datasource.

It is important to call OGR_DS_Destroy() when the datasource is no longer used to ensure that all data has been properly flushed to disk.

Deprecated:: Use GDALCreateCopy() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

hDriver	handle to the driver on which data source creation is based.
hSrcDS	source datasource
pszNewName	the name for the new data source.
papszOptions	a StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific, and driver information can be found at the following url: http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html

Returns: NULL is returned on failure, or a new OGRDataSource handle on success.

◆ OGR_Dr_CreateDataSource()

OGRDataSourceH OGR_Dr_CreateDataSource	(	OGRSFDriverH	hDriver,
		const char *	pszName,
		char **	papszOptions
	)

This function attempts to create a new data source based on the passed driver.

The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation.

It is important to call OGR_DS_Destroy() when the datasource is no longer used to ensure that all data has been properly flushed to disk.

Deprecated:: Use GDALCreate() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

hDriver	handle to the driver on which data source creation is based.
pszName	the name for the new data source. UTF-8 encoded.
papszOptions	a StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific, and driver information can be found at the following url: http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html

Returns: NULL is returned on failure, or a new OGRDataSource handle on success.

◆ OGR_Dr_DeleteDataSource()

OGRErr OGR_Dr_DeleteDataSource	(	OGRSFDriverH	hDriver,
		const char *	pszDataSource
	)

Delete a datasource.

Delete (from the disk, in the database, ...) the named datasource. Normally it would be safest if the datasource was not open at the time.

Whether this is a supported operation on this driver case be tested using TestCapability() on ODrCDeleteDataSource.

Deprecated:: Use GDALDeleteDataset() in GDAL 2

Parameters

hDriver	handle to the driver on which data source deletion is based.
pszDataSource	the name of the datasource to delete.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success, and OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION if this is not supported by this driver.

◆ OGR_Dr_GetName()

const char * OGR_Dr_GetName ( OGRSFDriverH hDriver )

Fetch name of driver (file format).

This name should be relatively short (10-40 characters), and should reflect the underlying file format. For instance "ESRI Shapefile".

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRSFDriver::GetName().

Parameters

hDriver handle to the driver to get the name from.

Returns: driver name. This is an internal string and should not be modified or freed.

◆ OGR_Dr_Open()

OGRDataSourceH OGR_Dr_Open	(	OGRSFDriverH	hDriver,
		const char *	pszName,
		int	bUpdate
	)

Attempt to open file with this driver.

NOTE: Starting with GDAL 2.0, it is NOT safe to cast the returned handle to OGRDataSource*. If a C++ object is needed, the handle should be cast to GDALDataset*. Similarly, the returned OGRSFDriverH handle should be cast to GDALDriver*, and NOT* OGRSFDriver*.

Deprecated:: Use GDALOpenEx() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

hDriver	handle to the driver that is used to open file.
pszName	the name of the file, or data source to try and open.
bUpdate	TRUE if update access is required, otherwise FALSE (the default).

Returns: NULL on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise an handle to a GDALDataset. This GDALDataset should be closed by deleting the object when it is no longer needed.

◆ OGR_Dr_TestCapability()

int OGR_Dr_TestCapability	(	OGRSFDriverH	hDriver,

Because this function requires internal creation and initialization of an OGRCoordinateTransformation object it is significantly more expensive to use this function to transform many geometries than it is to create the OGRCoordinateTransformation in advance, and call transform() with that transformation. This function exists primarily for convenience when only transforming a single geometry.

This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::transformTo.

int OGR_GFld_IsNullable ( OGRGeomFieldDefnH hDefn )

Return whether this geometry field can receive null values.

By default, fields are nullable.

Even if this method returns FALSE (i.e not-nullable field), it doesn't mean that OGRFeature::IsFieldSet() will necessary return TRUE, as fields can be temporary unset and null/not-null validation is usually done when OGRLayer::CreateFeature()/SetFeature() is called.

		int	iField,
		OGRFieldDefnH	hNewFieldDefn,
		int	nFlags
	)

Alter the definition of an existing field on a layer.

You must use this to alter the definition of an existing field of a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the altered field. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCAlterFieldDefn capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly. Some drivers might also not support all update flags.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::AlterFieldDefn().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer.
iField	index of the field whose definition must be altered.
hNewFieldDefn	new field definition

		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Clip off areas that are not covered by the method layer.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are in the input layer and in the method layer. The features in the result layer have the (possibly clipped) areas of features in the input layer and the attributes from the same features. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in the input layer.

Note: For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.
INPUT_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the input layer.

OGRErr OGR_L_CommitTransaction ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

For datasources which support transactions, CommitTransaction commits a transaction.

If no transaction is active, or the commit fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_NONE.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::CommitTransaction().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ OGR_L_CreateFeature()

OGRErr OGR_L_CreateFeature	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		OGRFeatureH	hFeat
	)

Create and write a new feature within a layer.

The passed feature is written to the layer as a new feature, rather than overwriting an existing one. If the feature has a feature id other than OGRNullFID, then the native implementation may use that as the feature id of the new feature, but not necessarily. Upon successful return the passed feature will have been updated with the new feature id.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::CreateFeature().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer to write the feature to.
hFeat	the handle of the feature to write to disk.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ OGR_L_CreateField()

OGRErr OGR_L_CreateField	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		OGRFieldDefnH	hField,
		int	bApproxOK
	)

Create a new field on a layer.

You must use this to create new fields on a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the new field. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCCreateField capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly.

Drivers may or may not support not-null constraints. If they support creating fields with not-null constraints, this is generally before creating any feature to the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::CreateField().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer to write the field definition.
hField	handle of the field definition to write to disk.
bApproxOK	If TRUE, the field may be created in a slightly different form depending on the limitations of the format driver.

		OGRGeomFieldDefnH	hField,
		int	bApproxOK
	)

Create a new geometry field on a layer.

You must use this to create new geometry fields on a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the new field. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCCreateField capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly.

Drivers may or may not support not-null constraints. If they support creating fields with not-null constraints, this is generally before creating any feature to the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::CreateField().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer to write the field definition.
hField	handle of the geometry field definition to write to disk.
bApproxOK	If TRUE, the field may be created in a slightly different form depending on the limitations of the format driver.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

Since: OGR 1.11

◆ OGR_L_DeleteFeature()

OGRErr OGR_L_DeleteFeature	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		GIntBig	nFID
	)

Delete feature from layer.

The feature with the indicated feature id is deleted from the layer if supported by the driver. Most drivers do not support feature deletion, and will return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION. The OGR_L_TestCapability() function may be called with OLCDeleteFeature to check if the driver supports feature deletion.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::DeleteFeature().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer
nFID	the feature id to be deleted from the layer

Returns: OGRERR_NONE if the operation works, otherwise an appropriate error code (e.g OGRERR_NON_EXISTING_FEATURE if the feature does not exist).

◆ OGR_L_DeleteField()

OGRErr OGR_L_DeleteField	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	iField
	)

Delete an existing field on a layer.

You must use this to delete existing fields on a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the deleted field. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCDeleteField capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::DeleteField().

Parameters

Since: OGR 1.9.0

◆ OGR_L_Erase()

		OGRLayerH	pLayerResult,
		char **	papszOptions,
		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Remove areas that are covered by the method layer.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are in the input layer but not in the method layer. The features in the result layer have attributes from the input layer. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in the input layer.

Note: For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.
INPUT_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the input layer.
METHOD_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the method layer.

Since: OGR 1.10

◆ OGR_L_FindFieldIndex()

int OGR_L_FindFieldIndex	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		const char *	,
		int	bExactMatch
	)

Find the index of field in a layer.

The returned number is the index of the field in the layers, or -1 if the field doesn't exist.

If bExactMatch is set to FALSE and the field doesn't exists in the given form the driver might apply some changes to make it match, like those it might do if the layer was created (eg. like LAUNDER in the OCI driver).

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::FindFieldIndex().

Returns: field index, or -1 if the field doesn't exist

◆ OGR_L_GetExtent()

OGRErr OGR_L_GetExtent	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		OGREnvelope *	psExtent,
		int	bForce
	)

Fetch the extent of this layer.

Returns the extent (MBR) of the data in the layer. If bForce is FALSE, and it would be expensive to establish the extent then OGRERR_FAILURE will be returned indicating that the extent isn't know. If bForce is TRUE then some implementations will actually scan the entire layer once to compute the MBR of all the features in the layer.

Depending on the drivers, the returned extent may or may not take the spatial filter into account. So it is safer to call OGR_L_GetExtent() without setting a spatial filter.

Layers without any geometry may return OGRERR_FAILURE just indicating that no meaningful extents could be collected.

Note that some implementations of this method may alter the read cursor of the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetExtent().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer from which to get extent.
psExtent	the structure in which the extent value will be returned.
bForce	Flag indicating whether the extent should be computed even if it is expensive.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_FAILURE if extent not known.

◆ OGR_L_GetExtentEx()

OGRErr OGR_L_GetExtentEx	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	iGeomField,
		OGREnvelope *	psExtent,
		int	bForce
	)

Fetch the extent of this layer, on the specified geometry field.

Returns the extent (MBR) of the data in the layer. If bForce is FALSE, and it would be expensive to establish the extent then OGRERR_FAILURE will be returned indicating that the extent isn't know. If bForce is TRUE then some implementations will actually scan the entire layer once to compute the MBR of all the features in the layer.

Depending on the drivers, the returned extent may or may not take the spatial filter into account. So it is safer to call OGR_L_GetExtent() without setting a spatial filter.

Layers without any geometry may return OGRERR_FAILURE just indicating that no meaningful extents could be collected.

Note that some implementations of this method may alter the read cursor of the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetExtent().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer from which to get extent.
iGeomField	the index of the geometry field on which to compute the extent.
psExtent	the structure in which the extent value will be returned.
bForce	Flag indicating whether the extent should be computed even if it is expensive.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_FAILURE if extent not known.

◆ OGR_L_GetFeature()

OGRFeatureH OGR_L_GetFeature	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		GIntBig	nFeatureId
	)

Fetch a feature by its identifier.

This function will attempt to read the identified feature. The nFID value cannot be OGRNullFID. Success or failure of this operation is unaffected by the spatial or attribute filters (and specialized implementations in drivers should make sure that they do not take into account spatial or attribute filters).

If this function returns a non-NULL feature, it is guaranteed that its feature id (OGR_F_GetFID()) will be the same as nFID.

Use OGR_L_TestCapability(OLCRandomRead) to establish if this layer supports efficient random access reading via OGR_L_GetFeature(); however, the call should always work if the feature exists as a fallback implementation just scans all the features in the layer looking for the desired feature.

Sequential reads (with OGR_L_GetNextFeature()) are generally considered interrupted by a OGR_L_GetFeature() call.

The returned feature should be free with OGR_F_Destroy().

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetFeature( ).

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer that owned the feature.
nFeatureId	the feature id of the feature to read.

Returns: an handle to a feature now owned by the caller, or NULL on failure.

◆ OGR_L_GetFeatureCount()

GIntBig OGR_L_GetFeatureCount	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	bForce
	)

Fetch the feature count in this layer.

Returns the number of features in the layer. For dynamic databases the count may not be exact. If bForce is FALSE, and it would be expensive to establish the feature count a value of -1 may be returned indicating that the count isn't know. If bForce is TRUE some implementations will actually scan the entire layer once to count objects.

The returned count takes the spatial filter into account.

Note that some implementations of this method may alter the read cursor of the layer.

This function is the same as the CPP OGRLayer::GetFeatureCount().

Note: since GDAL 2.0, this method returns a GIntBig (previously a int)

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer that owned the features.
bForce	Flag indicating whether the count should be computed even if it is expensive.

Returns: feature count, -1 if count not known.

◆ OGR_L_GetFIDColumn()

const char * OGR_L_GetFIDColumn ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

This method returns the name of the underlying database column being used as the FID column, or "" if not supported.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetFIDColumn()

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: fid column name.

◆ OGR_L_GetGeometryColumn()

const char * OGR_L_GetGeometryColumn ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

This method returns the name of the underlying database column being used as the geometry column, or "" if not supported.

For layers with multiple geometry fields, this method only returns the geometry type of the first geometry column. For other columns, use OGR_GFld_GetNameRef(OGR_FD_GetGeomFieldDefn(OGR_L_GetLayerDefn(hLayer), i)).

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetGeometryColumn()

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: geometry column name.

◆ OGR_L_GetGeomType()

OGRwkbGeometryType OGR_L_GetGeomType ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Return the layer geometry type.

This returns the same result as OGR_FD_GetGeomType(OGR_L_GetLayerDefn(hLayer)), but for a few drivers, calling OGR_L_GetGeomType() directly can avoid lengthy layer definition initialization.

For layers with multiple geometry fields, this method only returns the geometry type of the first geometry column. For other columns, use OGR_GFld_GetType(OGR_FD_GetGeomFieldDefn(OGR_L_GetLayerDefn(hLayer), i)). For layers without any geometry field, this method returns wkbNone.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetGeomType().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer.

Returns: the geometry type

Since: OGR 1.8.0

◆ OGR_L_GetLayerDefn()

OGRFeatureDefnH OGR_L_GetLayerDefn ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Fetch the schema information for this layer.

The returned handle to the OGRFeatureDefn is owned by the OGRLayer, and should not be modified or freed by the application. It encapsulates the attribute schema of the features of the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetLayerDefn().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer to get the schema information.

Returns: an handle to the feature definition.

◆ OGR_L_GetName()

const char * OGR_L_GetName ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Return the layer name.

This returns the same content as OGR_FD_GetName(OGR_L_GetLayerDefn(hLayer)), but for a few drivers, calling OGR_L_GetName() directly can avoid lengthy layer definition initialization.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetName().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer.

Returns: the layer name (must not been freed)

Since: OGR 1.8.0

◆ OGR_L_GetNextFeature()

OGRFeatureH OGR_L_GetNextFeature ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Fetch the next available feature from this layer.

The returned feature becomes the responsibility of the caller to delete with OGR_F_Destroy(). It is critical that all features associated with an OGRLayer (more specifically an OGRFeatureDefn) be deleted before that layer/datasource is deleted.

Only features matching the current spatial filter (set with SetSpatialFilter()) will be returned.

This function implements sequential access to the features of a layer. The OGR_L_ResetReading() function can be used to start at the beginning again.

Features returned by OGR_GetNextFeature() may or may not be affected by concurrent modifications depending on drivers. A guaranteed way of seeing modifications in effect is to call OGR_L_ResetReading() on layers where OGR_GetNextFeature() has been called, before reading again. Structural changes in layers (field addition, deletion, ...) when a read is in progress may or may not be possible depending on drivers. If a transaction is committed/aborted, the current sequential reading may or may not be valid after that operation and a call to OGR_L_ResetReading() might be needed.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetNextFeature().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer from which feature are read.

Returns: an handle to a feature, or NULL if no more features are available.

◆ OGR_L_GetSpatialFilter()

OGRGeometryH OGR_L_GetSpatialFilter ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

This function returns the current spatial filter for this layer.

The returned pointer is to an internally owned object, and should not be altered or deleted by the caller.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetSpatialFilter().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer to get the spatial filter from.

Returns: an handle to the spatial filter geometry.

◆ OGR_L_GetSpatialRef()

OGRSpatialReferenceH OGR_L_GetSpatialRef ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Fetch the spatial reference system for this layer.

The returned object is owned by the OGRLayer and should not be modified or freed by the application.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetSpatialRef().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer to get the spatial reference from.

Returns: spatial reference, or NULL if there isn't one.

◆ OGR_L_Identity()

OGRErr OGR_L_Identity	(	OGRLayerH	pLayerInput,
		OGRLayerH	pLayerMethod,
		OGRLayerH	pLayerResult,
		char **	papszOptions,
		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Identify the features of this layer with the ones from the identity layer.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are in the input layer. The features in the result layer have attributes from both input and method layers. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in input and method layers.

Note: If the schema of the result is set by user and contains fields that have the same name as a field in input and in method layer, then the attribute in the result feature will get the value from the feature of the method layer (even if it is undefined).; For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::Identity().

Parameters

pLayerInput	the input layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerMethod	the method layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerResult	the layer where the features resulting from the operation are inserted. Should not be NULL. See above the note about the schema.

◆ OGR_L_ReorderField()

OGRErr OGR_L_ReorderField	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	iOldFieldPos,
		int	iNewFieldPos
	)

Reorder an existing field on a layer.

This function is a convenience wrapper of OGR_L_ReorderFields() dedicated to move a single field.

You must use this to reorder existing fields on a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the reordering of the fields. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

The field definition that was at initial position iOldFieldPos will be moved at position iNewFieldPos, and elements between will be shuffled accordingly.

For example, let suppose the fields were "0","1","2","3","4" initially. ReorderField(1, 3) will reorder them as "0","2","3","1","4".

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCReorderFields capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::ReorderField().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer.
iOldFieldPos	previous position of the field to move. Must be in the range [0,GetFieldCount()-1].
iNewFieldPos	new position of the field to move. Must be in the range [0,GetFieldCount()-1].

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

Since: OGR 1.9.0

◆ OGR_L_ReorderFields()

OGRErr OGR_L_ReorderFields	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int *	panMap
	)

Reorder all the fields of a layer.

You must use this to reorder existing fields on a real layer. Internally the OGRFeatureDefn for the layer will be updated to reflect the reordering of the fields. Applications should never modify the OGRFeatureDefn used by a layer directly.

This function should not be called while there are feature objects in existence that were obtained or created with the previous layer definition.

panMap is such that,for each field definition at position i after reordering, its position before reordering was panMap[i].

For example, let suppose the fields were "0","1","2","3","4" initially. ReorderFields([0,2,3,1,4]) will reorder them as "0","2","3","1","4".

Not all drivers support this function. You can query a layer to check if it supports it with the OLCReorderFields capability. Some drivers may only support this method while there are still no features in the layer. When it is supported, the existing features of the backing file/database should be updated accordingly.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::ReorderFields().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer.
panMap	an array of GetLayerDefn()->OGRFeatureDefn::GetFieldCount() elements which is a permutation of [0, GetLayerDefn()->OGRFeatureDefn::GetFieldCount()-1].

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

Since: OGR 1.9.0

◆ OGR_L_ResetReading()

void OGR_L_ResetReading ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Reset feature reading to start on the first feature.

This affects GetNextFeature().

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::ResetReading().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer on which features are read.

◆ OGR_L_RollbackTransaction()

OGRErr OGR_L_RollbackTransaction ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

For datasources which support transactions, RollbackTransaction will roll back a datasource to its state before the start of the current transaction.

If no transaction is active, or the rollback fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_NONE.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::RollbackTransaction().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ OGR_L_SetAttributeFilter()

OGRErr OGR_L_SetAttributeFilter	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		const char *	pszQuery
	)

Set a new attribute query.

This function sets the attribute query string to be used when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() function. Only features for which the query evaluates as true will be returned.

The query string should be in the format of an SQL WHERE clause. For instance "population > 1000000 and population < 5000000" where population is an attribute in the layer. The query format is a restricted form of SQL WHERE clause as defined "eq_format=restricted_where" about half way through this document:

http://ogdi.sourceforge.net/prop/6.2.CapabilitiesMetadata.html

Note that installing a query string will generally result in resetting the current reading position (ala OGR_L_ResetReading()).

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetAttributeFilter().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer on which attribute query will be executed.
pszQuery	query in restricted SQL WHERE format, or NULL to clear the current query.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE if successfully installed, or an error code if the query expression is in error, or some other failure occurs.

◆ OGR_L_SetFeature()

OGRErr OGR_L_SetFeature	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		OGRFeatureH	hFeat
	)

Rewrite an existing feature.

This function will write a feature to the layer, based on the feature id within the OGRFeature.

Use OGR_L_TestCapability(OLCRandomWrite) to establish if this layer supports random access writing via OGR_L_SetFeature().

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetFeature().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer to write the feature.
hFeat	the feature to write.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE if the operation works, otherwise an appropriate error code (e.g OGRERR_NON_EXISTING_FEATURE if the feature does not exist).

◆ OGR_L_SetIgnoredFields()

OGRErr OGR_L_SetIgnoredFields	(	OGRLayerH	,
		const char **	papszFields
	)

Set which fields can be omitted when retrieving features from the layer.

If the driver supports this functionality (testable using OLCIgnoreFields capability), it will not fetch the specified fields in subsequent calls to GetFeature() / GetNextFeature() and thus save some processing time and/or bandwidth.

Besides field names of the layers, the following special fields can be passed: "OGR_GEOMETRY" to ignore geometry and "OGR_STYLE" to ignore layer style.

By default, no fields are ignored.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetIgnoredFields()

Parameters

papszFields an array of field names terminated by NULL item. If NULL is passed, the ignored list is cleared.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE if all field names have been resolved (even if the driver does not support this method)

◆ OGR_L_SetNextByIndex()

OGRErr OGR_L_SetNextByIndex	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		GIntBig	nIndex
	)

Move read cursor to the nIndex'th feature in the current resultset.

This method allows positioning of a layer such that the GetNextFeature() call will read the requested feature, where nIndex is an absolute index into the current result set. So, setting it to 3 would mean the next feature read with GetNextFeature() would have been the 4th feature to have been read if sequential reading took place from the beginning of the layer, including accounting for spatial and attribute filters.

Only in rare circumstances is SetNextByIndex() efficiently implemented. In all other cases the default implementation which calls ResetReading() and then calls GetNextFeature() nIndex times is used. To determine if fast seeking is available on the current layer use the TestCapability() method with a value of OLCFastSetNextByIndex.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetNextByIndex()

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer
nIndex	the index indicating how many steps into the result set to seek.

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

◆ OGR_L_SetSpatialFilter()

void OGR_L_SetSpatialFilter	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		OGRGeometryH	hGeom
	)

Set a new spatial filter.

This function set the geometry to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() function. Only features that geometrically intersect the filter geometry will be returned.

Currently this test is may be inaccurately implemented, but it is guaranteed that all features whose envelope (as returned by OGR_G_GetEnvelope()) overlaps the envelope of the spatial filter will be returned. This can result in more shapes being returned that should strictly be the case.

Starting with GDAL 2.3, features with null or empty geometries will never be considered as matching a spatial filter.

This function makes an internal copy of the passed geometry. The passed geometry remains the responsibility of the caller, and may be safely destroyed.

For the time being the passed filter geometry should be in the same SRS as the layer (as returned by OGR_L_GetSpatialRef()). In the future this may be generalized.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter.

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
hGeom	handle to the geometry to use as a filtering region. NULL may be passed indicating that the current spatial filter should be cleared, but no new one instituted.

◆ OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterEx()

void OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterEx	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	iGeomField,
		OGRGeometryH	hGeom
	)

Set a new spatial filter.

This function set the geometry to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() function. Only features that geometrically intersect the filter geometry will be returned.

Currently this test is may be inaccurately implemented, but it is guaranteed that all features who's envelope (as returned by OGR_G_GetEnvelope()) overlaps the envelope of the spatial filter will be returned. This can result in more shapes being returned that should strictly be the case.

This function makes an internal copy of the passed geometry. The passed geometry remains the responsibility of the caller, and may be safely destroyed.

For the time being the passed filter geometry should be in the same SRS as the geometry field definition it corresponds to (as returned by GetLayerDefn()->OGRFeatureDefn::GetGeomFieldDefn(iGeomField)->GetSpatialRef()). In the future this may be generalized.

Note that only the last spatial filter set is applied, even if several successive calls are done with different iGeomField values.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter.

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
iGeomField	index of the geometry field on which the spatial filter operates.
hGeom	handle to the geometry to use as a filtering region. NULL may be passed indicating that the current spatial filter should be cleared, but no new one instituted.

Since: GDAL 1.11

◆ OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterRect()

void OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterRect	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		double	dfMinX,
		double	dfMinY,
		double	dfMaxX,
		double	dfMaxY
	)

Set a new rectangular spatial filter.

This method set rectangle to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() method. Only features that geometrically intersect the given rectangle will be returned.

The x/y values should be in the same coordinate system as the layer as a whole (as returned by OGRLayer::GetSpatialRef()). Internally this method is normally implemented as creating a 5 vertex closed rectangular polygon and passing it to OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(). It exists as a convenience.

The only way to clear a spatial filter set with this method is to call OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(NULL).

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilterRect().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
dfMinX	the minimum X coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMinY	the minimum Y coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMaxX	the maximum X coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMaxY	the maximum Y coordinate for the rectangular region.

◆ OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterRectEx()

void OGR_L_SetSpatialFilterRectEx	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		int	iGeomField,
		double	dfMinX,
		double	dfMinY,
		double	dfMaxX,
		double	dfMaxY
	)

Set a new rectangular spatial filter.

This method set rectangle to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() method. Only features that geometrically intersect the given rectangle will be returned.

The x/y values should be in the same coordinate system as as the geometry field definition it corresponds to (as returned by GetLayerDefn()->OGRFeatureDefn::GetGeomFieldDefn(iGeomField)->GetSpatialRef()). Internally this method is normally implemented as creating a 5 vertex closed rectangular polygon and passing it to OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(). It exists as a convenience.

The only way to clear a spatial filter set with this method is to call OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(NULL).

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilterRect().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
iGeomField	index of the geometry field on which the spatial filter operates.
dfMinX	the minimum X coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMinY	the minimum Y coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMaxX	the maximum X coordinate for the rectangular region.
dfMaxY	the maximum Y coordinate for the rectangular region.

Since: GDAL 1.11

◆ OGR_L_StartTransaction()

OGRErr OGR_L_StartTransaction ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

For datasources which support transactions, StartTransaction creates a transaction.

If starting the transaction fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_NONE.

Note: as of GDAL 2.0, use of this API is discouraged when the dataset offers dataset level transaction with GDALDataset::StartTransaction(). The reason is that most drivers can only offer transactions at dataset level, and not layer level. Very few drivers really support transactions at layer scope.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::StartTransaction().

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ OGR_L_SymDifference()

OGRErr OGR_L_SymDifference	(	OGRLayerH	pLayerInput,

		OGRLayerH	pLayerResult,
		char **	papszOptions,
		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Symmetrical difference of two layers.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are in either in the input layer or in the method layer but not in both. The features in the result layer have attributes from both input and method layers. For features which represent areas that are only in the input or in the method layer the respective attributes have undefined values. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in the input and method layers.

Note: If the schema of the result is set by user and contains fields that have the same name as a field in input and in method layer, then the attribute in the result feature will get the value from the feature of the method layer (even if it is undefined).; For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.
INPUT_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the input layer.
METHOD_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the method layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SymDifference().

Parameters

pLayerInput	the input layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerMethod	the method layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerResult	the layer where the features resulting from the operation are inserted. Should not be NULL. See above the note about the schema.
papszOptions	NULL terminated list of options (may be NULL).
pfnProgress	a GDALProgressFunc() compatible callback function for reporting progress or NULL.
pProgressArg	argument to be passed to pfnProgress. May be NULL.

Returns: an error code if there was an error or the execution was interrupted, OGRERR_NONE otherwise.

Note: The first geometry field is always used.

Since: OGR 1.10

◆ OGR_L_SyncToDisk()

OGRErr OGR_L_SyncToDisk ( OGRLayerH hLayer )

Flush pending changes to disk.

This call is intended to force the layer to flush any pending writes to disk, and leave the disk file in a consistent state. It would not normally have any effect on read-only datasources.

Some layers do not implement this method, and will still return OGRERR_NONE. The default implementation just returns OGRERR_NONE. An error is only returned if an error occurs while attempting to flush to disk.

In any event, you should always close any opened datasource with OGR_DS_Destroy() that will ensure all data is correctly flushed.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SyncToDisk()

Parameters

hLayer handle to the layer

Returns: OGRERR_NONE if no error occurs (even if nothing is done) or an error code.

◆ OGR_L_TestCapability()

int OGR_L_TestCapability	(	OGRLayerH	hLayer,
		const char *	pszCap
	)

Test if this layer supported the named capability.

The capability codes that can be tested are represented as strings, but #defined constants exists to ensure correct spelling. Specific layer types may implement class specific capabilities, but this can't generally be discovered by the caller.

OLCRandomRead / "RandomRead": TRUE if the GetFeature() method is implemented in an optimized way for this layer, as opposed to the default implementation using ResetReading() and GetNextFeature() to find the requested feature id.
OLCSequentialWrite / "SequentialWrite": TRUE if the CreateFeature() method works for this layer. Note this means that this particular layer is writable. The same OGRLayer class may returned FALSE for other layer instances that are effectively read-only.
OLCRandomWrite / "RandomWrite": TRUE if the SetFeature() method is operational on this layer. Note this means that this particular layer is writable. The same OGRLayer class may returned FALSE for other layer instances that are effectively read-only.
OLCFastSpatialFilter / "FastSpatialFilter": TRUE if this layer implements spatial filtering efficiently. Layers that effectively read all features, and test them with the OGRFeature intersection methods should return FALSE. This can be used as a clue by the application whether it should build and maintain its own spatial index for features in this layer.
OLCFastFeatureCount / "FastFeatureCount": TRUE if this layer can return a feature count (via OGR_L_GetFeatureCount()) efficiently, i.e. without counting the features. In some cases this will return TRUE until a spatial filter is installed after which it will return FALSE.
OLCFastGetExtent / "FastGetExtent": TRUE if this layer can return its data extent (via OGR_L_GetExtent()) efficiently, i.e. without scanning all the features. In some cases this will return TRUE until a spatial filter is installed after which it will return FALSE.
OLCFastSetNextByIndex / "FastSetNextByIndex": TRUE if this layer can perform the SetNextByIndex() call efficiently, otherwise FALSE.
OLCCreateField / "CreateField": TRUE if this layer can create new fields on the current layer using CreateField(), otherwise FALSE.
OLCCreateGeomField / "CreateGeomField": (GDAL >= 1.11) TRUE if this layer can create new geometry fields on the current layer using CreateGeomField(), otherwise FALSE.
OLCDeleteField / "DeleteField": TRUE if this layer can delete existing fields on the current layer using DeleteField(), otherwise FALSE.
OLCReorderFields / "ReorderFields": TRUE if this layer can reorder existing fields on the current layer using ReorderField() or ReorderFields(), otherwise FALSE.
OLCAlterFieldDefn / "AlterFieldDefn": TRUE if this layer can alter the definition of an existing field on the current layer using AlterFieldDefn(), otherwise FALSE.
OLCDeleteFeature / "DeleteFeature": TRUE if the DeleteFeature() method is supported on this layer, otherwise FALSE.
OLCStringsAsUTF8 / "StringsAsUTF8": TRUE if values of OFTString fields are assured to be in UTF-8 format. If FALSE the encoding of fields is uncertain, though it might still be UTF-8.
OLCTransactions / "Transactions": TRUE if the StartTransaction(), CommitTransaction() and RollbackTransaction() methods work in a meaningful way, otherwise FALSE.
OLCCurveGeometries / "CurveGeometries": TRUE if this layer supports writing curve geometries or may return such geometries. (GDAL 2.0).

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::TestCapability().

Parameters

hLayer	handle to the layer to get the capability from.
pszCap	the name of the capability to test.

Returns: TRUE if the layer has the requested capability, or FALSE otherwise. OGRLayers will return FALSE for any unrecognized capabilities.

		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Union of two layers.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are in either in the input layer, in the method layer, or in both. The features in the result layer have attributes from both input and method layers. For features which represent areas that are only in the input or in the method layer the respective attributes have undefined values. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in the input and method layers.

Note: If the schema of the result is set by user and contains fields that have the same name as a field in input and in method layer, then the attribute in the result feature will get the value from the feature of the method layer (even if it is undefined).; For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.
INPUT_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the input layer.
METHOD_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the method layer.
USE_PREPARED_GEOMETRIES=YES/NO. Set to NO to not use prepared geometries to pretest intersection of features of method layer with features of this layer.

		char **	papszOptions,
		GDALProgressFunc	pfnProgress,
		void *	pProgressArg
	)

Update this layer with features from the update layer.

The result layer contains features whose geometries represent areas that are either in the input layer or in the method layer. The features in the result layer have areas of the features of the method layer or those ares of the features of the input layer that are not covered by the method layer. The features of the result layer get their attributes from the input layer. The schema of the result layer can be set by the user or, if it is empty, is initialized to contain all fields in the input layer.

Note: If the schema of the result is set by user and contains fields that have the same name as a field in the method layer, then the attribute in the result feature the originates from the method layer will get the value from the feature of the method layer.; For best performance use the minimum amount of features in the method layer and copy it into a memory layer.; This method relies on GEOS support. Do not use unless the GEOS support is compiled in.

The recognized list of options is :

SKIP_FAILURES=YES/NO. Set it to YES to go on, even when a feature could not be inserted or a GEOS call failed.
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI=YES/NO. Set it to YES to convert Polygons into MultiPolygons, or LineStrings to MultiLineStrings.
INPUT_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the input layer.
METHOD_PREFIX=string. Set a prefix for the field names that will be created from the fields of the method layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::Update().

Parameters

pLayerInput	the input layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerMethod	the method layer. Should not be NULL.
pLayerResult	the layer where the features resulting from the operation are inserted. Should not be NULL. See above the note about the schema.
papszOptions	NULL terminated list of options (may be NULL).
pfnProgress	a GDALProgressFunc() compatible callback function for reporting progress or NULL.
pProgressArg	argument to be passed to pfnProgress. May be NULL.

Returns: an error code if there was an error or the execution was interrupted, OGRERR_NONE otherwise.

Note: The first geometry field is always used.

		OGRSFDriverH *	pahDriverList
	)

Open a file / data source with one of the registered drivers.

This function loops through all the drivers registered with the driver manager trying each until one succeeds with the given data source.

If this function fails, CPLGetLastErrorMsg() can be used to check if there is an error message explaining why.

For drivers supporting the VSI virtual file API, it is possible to open a file in a .zip archive (see VSIInstallZipFileHandler()), in a .tar/.tar.gz/.tgz archive (see VSIInstallTarFileHandler()) or on a HTTP / FTP server (see VSIInstallCurlFileHandler())

NOTE: Starting with GDAL 2.0, it is NOT safe to cast the returned handle to OGRDataSource*. If a C++ object is needed, the handle should be cast to GDALDataset*. Similarly, the returned OGRSFDriverH handle should be cast to GDALDriver*, and NOT* OGRSFDriver*.

Deprecated:: Use GDALOpenEx() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

pszName	the name of the file, or data source to open.
bUpdate	FALSE for read-only access (the default) or TRUE for read-write access.
pahDriverList	if non-NULL, this argument will be updated with a pointer to the driver which was used to open the data source.

Returns: NULL on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise an handle to a GDALDataset. This GDALDataset should be closed by deleting the object when it is no longer needed.

Example:

  OGRDataSourceH        hDS;
  OGRSFDriverH        *pahDriver;

  hDS = OGROpen( "polygon.shp", 0, pahDriver );
  if( hDS == NULL )

This function loops through all the drivers registered with the driver manager trying each until one succeeds with the given data source.

If this function fails, CPLGetLastErrorMsg() can be used to check if there is an error message explaining why.

NOTE: Starting with GDAL 2.0, it is NOT safe to cast the returned handle to OGRDataSource*. If a C++ object is needed, the handle should be cast to GDALDataset*. Similarly, the returned OGRSFDriverH handle should be cast to GDALDriver*, and NOT* OGRSFDriver*.

Deprecated:: Use GDALOpenEx() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

pszName	the name of the file, or data source to open.
bUpdate	FALSE for read-only access (the default) or TRUE for read-write access.
pahDriverList	if non-NULL, this argument will be updated with a pointer to the driver which was used to open the data source.

Returns: NULL on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise an handle to a GDALDataset. This GDALDataset should be closed by deleting the object when it is no longer needed.

Example:

  OGRDataSourceH  hDS;
  OGRSFDriverH        *pahDriver;

  hDS = OGROpenShared( "polygon.shp", 0, pahDriver );
  if( hDS == NULL )
  {
      return;
  }

  ... use the data source ...

  OGRReleaseDataSource( hDS );

◆ OGRRegisterAll()

int OGRRegisterAll ( void )

Deprecated:: Use GDALAllRegister() in GDAL 2.0

◆ OGRReleaseDataSource()

OGRErr OGRReleaseDataSource ( OGRDataSourceH hDS )

Drop a reference to this datasource, and if the reference count drops to zero close (destroy) the datasource.

Internally this actually calls the OGRSFDriverRegistrar::ReleaseDataSource() method. This method is essentially a convenient alias.

Deprecated:: Use GDALClose() in GDAL 2.0

Parameters

hDS	handle to the data source to release

Returns: OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

◆ OGRSetNonLinearGeometriesEnabledFlag()

void OGRSetNonLinearGeometriesEnabledFlag ( int bFlag )

Set flag to enable/disable returning non-linear geometries in the C API.

This flag has only an effect on the OGR_F_GetGeometryRef(), OGR_F_GetGeomFieldRef(), OGR_L_GetGeomType(), OGR_GFld_GetType() and OGR_FD_GetGeomType() C API, and corresponding methods in the SWIG bindings. It is meant as making it simple for applications using the OGR C API not to have to deal with non-linear geometries, even if such geometries might be returned by drivers. In which case, they will be transformed into their closest linear geometry, by doing linear approximation, with OGR_G_ForceTo().

Libraries should generally not use that method, since that could interfere with other libraries or applications.

Note that it does not affect the behaviour of the C++ API.

Parameters

bFlag TRUE if non-linear geometries might be returned (default value). FALSE to ask for non-linear geometries to be approximated as linear geometries.

Since: GDAL 2.0
