# OGRFeature C++ API

## OGRFeature class

class `OGRFeature`

  A simple feature, including geometry and attributes.

  Public Functions

  `OGRFeature`(OGRFeatureDefn *poDefnIn)

    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.

  OGRFeature::ConstFieldIterator `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.

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

  OGRFeature::ConstFieldIterator `end`() const

    Return end of field value iterator.

  const OGRFeature::FieldValue `operator[]`(int iField) const

    Return a field value.

    Return

      the field value.

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

    Parameters

      - `iField`: the field to fetch, from 0 to GetFieldCount()-1. This is not checked by the method !

  OGRFeature::FieldValue `operator[]`(int iField)

    Return a field value.

    Return

      the field value.

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

    Parameters

      - `iField`: the field to fetch, from 0 to GetFieldCount()-1. This is not checked by the method !

  const OGRFeature::FieldValue `operator[]`(const char *pszFieldName) const

    Return a field value.

    Return

      the field value, or throw a FieldNotFoundException if not found.

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

    Parameters

      - `pszFieldName`: field name

  OGRFeature::FieldValue `operator[]`(const char *pszFieldName)

    Return a field value.

    Return

      the field value, or throw a FieldNotFoundException if not found.

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

    Parameters

      - `pszFieldName`: field name

  OGRFeatureDefn *`GetDefnRef`()

    Fetch feature definition.

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

    Return

      a reference to the feature definition object.

  const OGRFeatureDefn *`GetDefnRef`() const

    Fetch feature definition.

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

    Return

    Since

      GDAL 2.3

  OGRErr `SetGeometryDirectly`(OGRGeometry *poGeomIn)

    Set feature geometry.

    This method updates the features geometry, and operate exactly as SetGeometry(), except that this method assumes ownership of the passed geometry (even in case of failure of that function).

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

    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.

    Return

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

    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.

  OGRErr `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.

    Return

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

    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.

  OGRGeometry *`GetGeometryRef`()

      - `pnCount`: an integer to put the list count (number of integers) into.

  `GetFieldAsDoubleList`(const char *pszFName, int *pnCount) const

    Fetch field value as a list of doubles.

    Currently this method only works for OFTRealList fields.

    Return

      the field value. This list is internal, and should not be modified, or freed. Its lifetime may be very brief. If *pnCount is zero on return the returned pointer may be NULL or non-NULL.

    Parameters

      - `pszFName`: the name of the field to fetch.

      - `pnCount`: an integer to put the list count (number of doubles) into.

  `GetFieldAsStringList`(const char *pszFName) const

    Fetch field value as a list of strings.

    Currently this method only works for OFTStringList fields.

    The returned list is terminated by a NULL pointer. The number of elements can also be calculated using CSLCount().

    Return

      the field value. This list is internal, and should not be modified, or freed. Its lifetime may be very brief.

    Parameters

      - `pszFName`: the name of the field to fetch.

  void `SetField`(int i, int nValue)

    Set field to integer value.

    Return

      feature id or OGRNullFID if none has been assigned.

  OGRErr `SetFID`(GIntBig nFIDIn)

    Set the feature identifier.

    For specific types of features this operation may fail on illegal features ids. Generally it always succeeds. Feature ids should be greater than or equal to zero, with the exception of OGRNullFID (-1) indicating that the feature id is unknown.

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

    Return

      On success OGRERR_NONE, or on failure some other value.

  void `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)

  OGRErr `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. Field values are copied by corresponding field names. Field types do not have to exactly match. SetField() method conversion rules will be applied as needed.

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

    Return

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

    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 `SetFrom`(const OGRFeature *poSrcFeature, const int *panMap, 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. Field values are copied according to the provided indices map. Field types do not have to exactly match. SetField() method conversion rules will be applied as needed. 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.

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

    Return

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

    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.

  OGRErr `SetFieldsFrom`(const OGRFeature *poSrcFeature, const int *panMap, int bForgiving = TRUE)

    Set fields from another feature.

    Overwrite the fields of this feature from the attributes of another. The FID and the style string are not set. The poSrcFeature does not need to have the same OGRFeatureDefn. Field values are copied according to the provided indices map. Field types do not have to exactly match. SetField() method conversion rules will be applied as needed. 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.

    Return

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

    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.

  int `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().

    Return

      TRUE if all enabled validation tests pass.

    Since

      GDAL 2.0

    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

  void `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().

    Since

      GDAL 2.0

    Parameters

      - `bNotNullableOnly`: if we should fill only unset fields with a not-null constraint.

      - `papszOptions`: unused currently. Must be set to NULL.

  const char *`GetStyleString`() const

    Fetch style string for this feature.

    Set the OGR Feature Style Specification for details on the format of this string, and ogr_featurestyle.h for services available to parse it.

    Return

      a reference to a representation in string format, or NULL if there isn’t one.

  void `SetStyleString`(const char *pszString)

    Set feature style string.

    This method operate exactly as OGRFeature::SetStyleStringDirectly() except that it does not assume ownership of the passed string, but instead makes a copy of it.

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

    Parameters

      - `pszString`: the style string to apply to this feature, cannot be NULL.

  void `SetStyleStringDirectly`(char *pszString)

    Set feature style string.

    This method operate exactly as OGRFeature::SetStyleString() except that it assumes ownership of the passed string.

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

    Parameters

      - `pszString`: the style string to apply to this feature, cannot be NULL.

  virtual OGRStyleTable *`GetStyleTable`() const

    Return style table.

    Return

      style table.

  void `SetStyleTable`(OGRStyleTable *poStyleTable)

    Set style table.

    Parameters

      - `poStyleTable`: new style table (ownership transferred to the object)

  const char *`GetNativeData`() const

    Returns 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().

    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().

    Return

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

    Since

      GDAL 2.1

    See

      https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc60_improved_roundtripping_in_ogr

  const char *`GetNativeMediaType`() const

    Returns the native media type for the feature.

    The native media type is the identifier for the format of the native data. It follows the IANA RFC 2045 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type), e.g. “application/vnd.geo+json” for JSon.

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

    Return

      a string with the native media type, or NULL if there is none.

  void `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().

    Since

      GDAL 2.1

    See

      https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc60_improved_roundtripping_in_ogr

    Parameters

      - `pszNativeData`: a string with the native data, or NULL if there is none.

  void `SetNativeMediaType`(const char *pszNativeMediaType)

    Sets the native media type for the feature.

    The native media type is the identifier for the format of the native data. It follows the IANA RFC 2045 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type), e.g. “application/vnd.geo+json” for JSon.

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

  OGRFeature *`CreateFeature`(OGRFeatureDefn *poDefn)

    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().

    Return

      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().

    Parameters

      - `poDefn`: Feature definition defining schema.

  void `DestroyFeature`(OGRFeature *poFeature)

    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.

  static OGRFeatureH `ToHandle`(OGRFeature *poFeature)

    Convert a OGRFeature* to a OGRFeatureH.

## OGRFeatureDefn class

class `OGRFeatureDefn`

  Definition of a feature class or feature layer.

  This object contains schema information for a set of OGRFeatures. In table based systems, an OGRFeatureDefn is essentially a layer. In more object oriented approaches (such as SF CORBA) this can represent a class of features but doesn’t necessarily relate to all of a layer, or just one layer.

  This object also can contain some other information such as a name and potentially other metadata.

  It is essentially a collection of field descriptions (OGRFieldDefn class). Starting with GDAL 1.11, in addition to attribute fields, it can also contain multiple geometry fields (OGRGeomFieldDefn class).

  It is reasonable for different translators to derive classes from OGRFeatureDefn with additional translator specific information.

  Public Functions

    Note: no driver is know to use the concept of field justification.

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

    Parameters

      - `eJustify`: the new justification.

  int `GetWidth`() const

    Get the formatting width for this field.

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

    Return

      the width, zero means no specified width.

  void `SetWidth`(int nWidthIn)

    Set the formatting width for this field in characters.

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

    Parameters

      - `nWidth`: the new width.

  int `GetPrecision`() const

    Get the formatting precision for this field.

    This should normally be zero for fields of types other than OFTReal.

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

    Return

      the precision.

  void `SetPrecision`(int nPrecisionIn)

    Set the formatting precision for this field in characters.

    This should normally be zero for fields of types other than OFTReal.

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

    Parameters

      - `nPrecision`: the new precision.

  void `Set`(const char *pszNameIn, OGRFieldType eTypeIn, int nWidthIn = 0, int nPrecisionIn = 0, OGRJustification eJustifyIn = OJUndefined)

    Set defining parameters for a field in one call.

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

    Parameters

      - `pszNameIn`: the new name to assign.

      - `eTypeIn`: the new type (one of the OFT values like OFTInteger).

      - `nWidthIn`: the preferred formatting width. Defaults to zero indicating undefined.

      - `nPrecisionIn`: number of decimals places for formatting, defaults to zero indicating undefined.

      - `eJustifyIn`: the formatting justification (OJLeft or OJRight), defaults to OJUndefined.

  void `SetDefault`(const char *pszDefaultIn)

    Set default field value.

    The default field value is taken into account by drivers (generally those with a SQL interface) that support it at field creation time. OGR will generally not automatically set the default field value to null fields by itself when calling OGRFeature::CreateFeature() / OGRFeature::SetFeature(), but will let the low-level layers to do the job. So retrieving the feature from the layer is recommended.

    The accepted values are NULL, a numeric value, a literal value enclosed between single quote characters (and inner single quote characters escaped by repetition of the single quote character), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_DATE or a driver specific expression (that might be ignored by other drivers). For a datetime literal value, format should be ‘YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS[.sss]’ (considered as UTC time).

    Drivers that support writing DEFAULT clauses will advertise the GDAL_DCAP_DEFAULT_FIELDS driver metadata item.

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

    Since

      GDAL 2.0

    Parameters

      - `pszDefaultIn`: new default field value or NULL pointer.

  const char *`GetDefault`() const

    Get default field value.

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

    Since

      GDAL 2.0

  int `IsDefaultDriverSpecific`() const

    Returns whether the default value is driver specific.

    Driver specific default values are those that are not NULL, a numeric value, a literal value enclosed between single quote characters, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_DATE or datetime literal value.

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

    Return

      TRUE if the default value is driver specific.

      TRUE if the field is authorized to be null.

    Since

      GDAL 2.0
