## Detailed Description

A simple feature, including geometry and attributes.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OGRFeature::OGRFeature | ( | OGRFeatureDefn * | poDefnIn | ) |
| explicit

Constructor.

Note that the OGRFeature will increment the reference count of its defining OGRFeatureDefn. Destruction of the OGRFeatureDefn before destruction of all OGRFeatures that depend on it is likely to result in a crash.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Create().

Parameters

  poDefnIn | feature class (layer) definition to which the feature will adhere.

## Member Function Documentation

OGRFeature::ConstFieldIterator OGRFeature::begin | ( |  | ) | const

Return begin of field value iterator.

Using this iterator for standard range-based loops is safe, but due to implementation limitations, you shouldn't try to access (dereference) more than one iterator step at a time, since you will get a reference to the same object (FieldValue) at each iteration step.

    for( auto&& oField: poFeature )
    {
         std::cout << oField.GetIndex() << "," << oField.GetName()<< ": " << oField.GetAsString() << std::endl;
    }

Since
  GDAL 2.3

OGRFeature * OGRFeature::Clone | ( |  | ) | const

Duplicate feature.

The newly created feature is owned by the caller, and will have its own reference to the OGRFeatureDefn.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Clone().

Returns
  new feature, exactly matching this feature. Or, starting with GDAL 2.1, NULL in case of out of memory situation.

bool OGRFeature::CopySelfTo | ( | OGRFeature * | poNew | ) | const
| protected

Copies the innards of this OGRFeature into the supplied object.

This is mainly intended to allow derived classes to implement their own Clone functions.

Parameters

  poNew | The object into which to copy the data of this object.

Returns
  True if successful, false if the copy failed.

OGRFeature * OGRFeature::CreateFeature | ( | OGRFeatureDefn * | poDefn | ) |
| static

Feature factory.

This is essentially a feature factory, useful for applications creating features but wanting to ensure they are created out of the OGR/GDAL heap.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Create().

Parameters

  poDefn | Feature definition defining schema.

Returns
  new feature object with null fields and no geometry, or, starting with GDAL 2.1, NULL in case of out of memory situation. May be deleted with DestroyFeature().

void OGRFeature::DestroyFeature | ( | OGRFeature * | poFeature | ) |
| static

Destroy feature.

The feature is deleted, but within the context of the GDAL/OGR heap. This is necessary when higher level applications use GDAL/OGR from a DLL and they want to delete a feature created within the DLL. If the delete is done in the calling application the memory will be freed onto the application heap which is inappropriate.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Destroy().

Parameters

  poFeature | the feature to delete.

void OGRFeature::DumpReadable | ( | FILE * | fpOut,
|  | char ** | papszOptions = `nullptr`
| ) |  | const

Dump this feature in a human readable form.

This dumps the attributes, and geometry; however, it doesn't definition information (other than field types and names), nor does it report the geometry spatial reference system.

A few options can be defined to change the default dump :

- DISPLAY_FIELDS=NO : to hide the dump of the attributes
- DISPLAY_STYLE=NO : to hide the dump of the style string
- DISPLAY_GEOMETRY=NO : to hide the dump of the geometry
- DISPLAY_GEOMETRY=SUMMARY : to get only a summary of the geometry

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_DumpReadable().

Parameters

  fpOut | the stream to write to, such as stdout. If NULL stdout will be used.
  papszOptions | NULL terminated list of options (may be NULL)

OGRFeature::ConstFieldIterator OGRFeature::end | ( |  | ) | const

Return end of field value iterator.

OGRBoolean OGRFeature::Equal | ( | const OGRFeature * | poFeature | ) | const
| virtual

Test if two features are the same.

Two features are considered equal if the share them (pointer equality) same OGRFeatureDefn, have the same field values, and the same geometry (as tested by OGRGeometry::Equal()) as well as the same feature id.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Equal().

Parameters

  poFeature | the other feature to test this one against.

Returns
  TRUE if they are equal, otherwise FALSE.

void OGRFeature::FillUnsetWithDefault | ( | int | bNotNullableOnly,
|  | char ** | papszOptions
| ) |  |

Fill unset fields with default values that might be defined.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_FillUnsetWithDefault().

Parameters

  bNotNullableOnly | if we should fill only unset fields with a not-null constraint.
  papszOptions | unused currently. Must be set to NULL.

The native data is the representation in a "natural" form that comes from the driver that created this feature, or that is aimed at an output driver. The native data may be in different format, which is indicated by GetNativeMediaType().

Note that most drivers do not support storing the native data in the feature object, and if they do, generally the NATIVE_DATA open option must be passed at dataset opening.

The "native data" does not imply it is something more performant or powerful than what can be obtained with the rest of the API, but it may be useful in round-tripping scenarios where some characteristics of the underlying format are not captured otherwise by the OGR abstraction.

This function is the same as the C function OGR_F_GetNativeData().

Returns
  a string with the native data, or NULL if there is none.

This is more efficient than OGR_F_SetFrom() in that this doesn't lookup the fields by their names. Particularly useful when the field names don't match.

Parameters

  poSrcFeature | the feature from which geometry, and field values will be copied.
  panMap | Array of the indices of the feature's fields stored at the corresponding index of the source feature's fields. A value of -1 should be used to ignore the source's field. The array should not be NULL and be as long as the number of fields in the source feature.
  bForgiving | TRUE if the operation should continue despite lacking output fields matching some of the source fields.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE if the operation succeeds, even if some values are not transferred, otherwise an error code.

OGRErr OGRFeature::SetFrom | ( | const OGRFeature * | poSrcFeature,
|  | int | bForgiving = `TRUE`
| ) |  |

Set one feature from another.

Overwrite the contents of this feature from the geometry and attributes of another. The poSrcFeature does not need to have the same OGRFeatureDefn.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_SetFrom().

Parameters

  poSrcFeature | the feature from which geometry, and field values will be copied.
  bForgiving | TRUE if the operation should continue despite lacking output fields matching some of the source fields.

OGRErr OGRFeature::SetGeometry | ( | const OGRGeometry * | poGeomIn | ) |

Set feature geometry.

This method updates the features geometry, and operate exactly as SetGeometryDirectly(), except that this method does not assume ownership of the passed geometry, but instead makes a copy of it.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_SetGeometry().

Note
  This method has only an effect on the in-memory feature object. If this object comes from a layer and the modifications must be serialized back to the datasource, OGR_L_SetFeature() must be used afterwards. Or if this is a new feature, OGR_L_CreateFeature() must be used afterwards.

Parameters

  poGeomIn | new geometry to apply to feature. Passing NULL value here is correct and it will result in deallocation of currently assigned geometry without assigning new one.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE if successful, or OGR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE if the geometry type is illegal for the OGRFeatureDefn (checking not yet implemented).

OGRErr OGRFeature::SetGeometryDirectly | ( | OGRGeometry * | poGeomIn | ) |

void OGRFeature::SetNativeData | ( | const char * | pszNativeData | ) |

Sets the native data for the feature.

The native data is the representation in a "natural" form that comes from the driver that created this feature, or that is aimed at an output driver. The native data may be in different format, which is indicated by GetNativeMediaType().

This function is the same as the C function OGR_F_SetNativeData().

Parameters

  pszNativeData | a string with the native data, or NULL if there is none.

void OGRFeature::UnsetField | ( | int | iField | ) |

Clear a field, marking it as unset.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_UnsetField().

Parameters

  iField | the field to unset.

int OGRFeature::Validate | ( | int | nValidateFlags,
|  | int | bEmitError
| ) |  | const

Validate that a feature meets constraints of its schema.

The scope of test is specified with the nValidateFlags parameter.

Regarding OGR_F_VAL_WIDTH, the test is done assuming the string width must be interpreted as the number of UTF-8 characters. Some drivers might interpret the width as the number of bytes instead. So this test is rather conservative (if it fails, then it will fail for all interpretations).

This method is the same as the C function OGR_F_Validate().

Parameters

  nValidateFlags | OGR_F_VAL_ALL or combination of OGR_F_VAL_NULL, OGR_F_VAL_GEOM_TYPE, OGR_F_VAL_WIDTH and OGR_F_VAL_ALLOW_NULL_WHEN_DEFAULT, OGR_F_VAL_ALLOW_DIFFERENT_GEOM_DIM with '|' operator
  bEmitError | TRUE if a CPLError() must be emitted when a check fails

Returns
  TRUE if all enabled validation tests pass.
