Detailed Description

The schema of a feature or a layer.

A FeatureDefn object is a collection of field definition objects. A
read-only FeatureDefn object can be obtained from a layer
(Geo::OGR::Layer::GetDefn()) or a feature
(Geo::OGR::Feature::GetDefn()).

Member Function Documentation

public method Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::AddField

(

hash

params

)

Object method.

Parameters

params

Named parameters to create a new Geo::OGR::FieldDefn or Geo::OGR::GeomFieldDefn object.

Code:

public method Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::DeleteField

(

scalar

name

)

Object method.

Note

Currently only geometry fields can be deleted.

Parameters

index

the index of the geometry field to be deleted.

Code:

public method Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::Feature

(

)

Code:

public scalar Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::GetFieldDefn

(

scalar

name

)

Object method.
Get the definition of a field.

Parameters

name	the name of the field.

Returns

a Geo::OGR::FieldDefn object.

Code:

public list Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::GetFieldNames

(

)

Object method.
The names of the fields in this layer or feature definition.

Returns

the list of field names.

Code:

public scalar Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::GetGeomFieldDefn

(

scalar

name

)

Object method.
Get the definition of a spatial field.

Parameters

name	the name of the spatial field.

Returns

a Geo::OGR::GeomFieldDefn object.

Code:

public scalar Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::GetName

(

)

Object method.

Returns

the name of this layer or feature definition.

Code:

public hash reference Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::GetSchema

(

)

Get the schema of this feature or layer definition.

Object method.

Returns

the schema as a hash whose keywords are Name, StyleIgnored
and Fields. Fields is an anonymous array of first non-spatial and
then spatial field schemas as in Geo::OGR::FieldDefn::Schema() and
Geo::OGR::GeomFieldDefn::Schema().

Code:

public method Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::IsSame

(

Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn

defn

)

Object method.

Returns

true if this definition is similar to the other definition,
false otherwise.

Code:

public scalar Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::IsStyleIgnored

(

)

Object method.
Get the ignore status of style information when fetching features.

Returns

the ignore status of style information

Since

1.9.0

Code:

public Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::new

(

hash

schema

)

Class method.
Creates a new layer or feature definition. The new definition is
either initialized to the given schema or it will contain no
non-spatial fields and one spatial field, whose Name is '' and
GeometryType is 'Unknown' or the value of the named parameter
GeometryType.

Parameters

schema

[optional] The schema for the new feature definition, as in Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::Schema().

Returns

a Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn object

Example usage:

<br>$fd = Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn->new(
<br>    Name => "name",
<br>    Fields => [{ Name => 'field1', Type => 'String' },
<br>               { Name => 'geom', GeometryType => 'Point' }] );
<br>

Code:

public method Geo::OGR::FeatureDefn::SetStyleIgnored

(

scalar

IgnoreState

)

Object method.
Set the ignore status of style information when fetching features.

Since

1.9.0
