Geo::OGR::Layer::AlterFieldDefn	(	scalar	field,
		scalar	definition,
		scalar	flags
	)

Alter the definition of an existing field on a layer.

Parameters:

field	index of the field whose definition is altered
definition	a Geo::OGR::FieldDefn object
flags	1 to alter the name, 2 to alter the type, 4 to alter the width, use combinations 3, 5, 6 or 7 to alter two or more properties

Todo:: Perlify: support field names and string flags

list Geo::OGR::Layer::Capabilities ( )

Returns:: a list of capabilities. The class method returns a list of all potential capabilities a layer may have; the object method returns a list of all capabilities the layer has.

Geo::OGR::Layer::CommitTransaction ( )

Geo::OGR::Layer::CreateFeature ( scalar feature )

Inserts a feature into the layer. The given feature's id may change.

Parameters:

feature a Geo::OGR::Feature object

Geo::OGR::Layer::CreateField	(	scalar	field_def,
		scalar	approx_ok = `1`
	)

Parameters:

field_def	a Geo::OGR::FieldDefn object
approx_ok

Geo::OGR::Layer::DeleteFeature ( scalar fid )

Parameters:

fid	feature id

Geo::OGR::Layer::DeleteField ( scalar field )

Delete an existing field from a layer.

Parameters:

field index of the field which is deleted

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GeometryType ( )

Returns:: the geometry type of the layer, one of @Geo::OGR::Geometry::GEOMETRY_TYPES

list Geo::OGR::Layer::GetExtent ( scalar force = 1 )

Parameters:

force compute the extent even if it is expensive

Note:: In scalar context returns a reference to an anonymous array containing the extent.; The order of values is different from those returned by Geo::OGR::Geometry::GetEnvelope.

Returns:: the extent ($minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy)

Geo::OGR::Feature Geo::OGR::Layer::GetFeature ( scalar fid )

Parameters:

fid	feature id

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::Feature object

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GetFeatureCount ( scalar force = 1 )

Parameters:

force

Returns:: integer

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GetFeaturesRead ( )

Returns:: integer

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GetFIDColumn ( )

Returns:: the name of the underlying database column being used as the FID column, or "" if not supported.

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GetGeometryColumn ( )

Returns:: the name of the underlying database column being used as the geometry column, or "" if not supported

Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn Geo::OGR::Layer::GetLayerDefn ( )

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn object

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::GetName ( )

Returns:

Geo::OGR::Feature Geo::OGR::Layer::GetNextFeature ( )

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::Feature object

Geo::OGR::Geometry Geo::OGR::Layer::GetSpatialFilter ( )

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::Geometry object

Geo::OSR::SpatialReference Geo::OGR::Layer::GetSpatialRef ( )

Returns:: a new Geo::OSR::SpatialReference object

Geo::OGR::Layer::InsertFeature ( scalar feature )

Same as CreateFeature except that the parameter feature may be a hashref (%row) or a listref (@tuple) that is fed to a Geo::OGR::Feature object's Row or Tuple method that is created in inserted into the layer.

Parameters:

feature a Geo::OGR::Feature object, or %row or @tuple

Geo::OGR::Layer::ResetReading ( )

Geo::OGR::Layer::RollbackTransaction ( )

hashref Geo::OGR::Layer::Row ( hash row )

Get and/or set the data of a feature that has the supplied feature id (gets next if feature id is not given). The keys of the row are the field names. Special names FID and Geometry are used for feature id and Geometry respectively. The geometry is a Geo::OGR::Geometry object whose data is owned by the feature. It is ok to set only a subset of the fields, those fields whose keys do not exist are left unchanged.

Parameters:

row	[optional]

Returns:

hashref Geo::OGR::Layer::Schema ( hash schema )

Get and/or set the schema of the layer.

Parameters:

schema

The schema hash may contain the keys:

Fields A reference to a list of field definitions (either Geo::OGR::FieldDefn objects or hashrefs from which they can be created).
ApproxOK (optional) A flag specifying whether it is ok to change the requested field definition to accommodate limitations of the layer.

Returns:

a reference to a schema hash, which has keys:

Name The name of this layer.
GeometryType The type of the geometries in this layer (a string).
Fields An array of references to hashes of field definitions.

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetAttributeFilter ( scalar filter_string )

Set or clear the attribute filter.

Parameters:

filter_string a SQL WHERE clause or undef to clear the filter.

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetFeature ( scalar feature )

Replaces a feature in the layer based on the given feature's id. Requires RandomWrite capability

Parameters:

feature a Geo::OGR::Feature object

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetIgnoredFields ( list fields )

Parameters:

fields a list of field names

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetNextByIndex ( scalar new_index )

Parameters:

new_index the index to which set the read cursor

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetSpatialFilter ( scalar filter )

Parameters:

filter [optional] a Geo::OGR::Geometry object. If not given, removes the filter if there is one.

Geo::OGR::Layer::SetSpatialFilterRect	(	scalar	minx,
		scalar	miny,
		scalar	maxx,
		scalar	maxy
	)

Parameters:

minx
miny
maxx
maxy

Geo::OGR::Geometry Geo::OGR::Layer::SpatialFilter ( scalar filter )

Parameters:

filter [optional] a Geo::OGR::Geometry object or a string. An undefined value removes the filter if there is one.

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::Geometry object

Geo::OGR::Geometry Geo::OGR::Layer::SpatialFilter ( list filter )

Parameters:

filter [optional] a rectangle ($minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy).

Returns:: a new Geo::OGR::Geometry object

Geo::OGR::Layer::StartTransaction ( )

Geo::OGR::Layer::SyncToDisk ( )

scalar Geo::OGR::Layer::TestCapability ( scalar cap )

Parameters:

cap	A capability string.

Returns:: a boolean value indicating whether the layer has the specified capability.

list Geo::OGR::Layer::Tuple ( list tuple )

Get and/set the data of a feature that has the supplied feature id (gets next if feature id is not given). The order of the data in the tuple is: feature id, Geometry, fields in their order. The geometry is a Geo::OGR::Geometry object whose data is owned by the feature. It is ok to leave Geometry undefined, it is set only if it is defined.

Parameters:

tuple [optional]

Returns:
