## Detailed Description

A collection of non-overlapping OGRPolygon.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ OGRMultiPolygon()

OGRMultiPolygon::OGRMultiPolygon | ( | const OGRMultiPolygon & | other | ) |
| default

Copy constructor.

Note: before GDAL 2.1, only the default implementation of the constructor existed, which could be unsafe to use.

Since
  GDAL 2.1

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ addGeometry()

OGRErr OGRGeometryCollection::addGeometry | ( | const OGRGeometry * | poNewGeom | ) |
| virtual inherited

Add a geometry to the container.

Some subclasses of OGRGeometryCollection restrict the types of geometry that can be added, and may return an error. The passed geometry is cloned to make an internal copy.

There is no SFCOM analog to this method.

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

Parameters

  poNewGeom | geometry to add to the container.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE if successful, or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE if the geometry type is illegal for the type of geometry container.

## ◆ addGeometryDirectly()

OGRErr OGRGeometryCollection::addGeometryDirectly | ( | OGRGeometry * | poNewGeom | ) |
| virtual inherited

Add a geometry directly to the container.

Some subclasses of OGRGeometryCollection restrict the types of geometry that can be added, and may return an error. Ownership of the passed geometry is taken by the container rather than cloning as addGeometry() does.

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

There is no SFCOM analog to this method.

Parameters

  poNewGeom | geometry to add to the container.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE if successful, or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE if the geometry type is illegal for the type of geometry container.

## ◆ assignSpatialReference()

void OGRGeometryCollection::assignSpatialReference | ( | OGRSpatialReference * | poSR | ) |
| override virtual inherited

Assign spatial reference to this object.

Any existing spatial reference is replaced, but under no circumstances does this result in the object being reprojected. It is just changing the interpretation of the existing geometry. Note that assigning a spatial reference increments the reference count on the OGRSpatialReference, but does not copy it.

Starting with GDAL 2.3, this will also assign the spatial reference to potential sub-geometries of the geometry (OGRGeometryCollection, OGRCurvePolygon/OGRPolygon, OGRCompoundCurve, OGRPolyhedralSurface and their derived classes).

This is similar to the SFCOM IGeometry::put_SpatialReference() method.

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

Parameters

  poSR | new spatial reference system to apply.

Reimplemented from OGRGeometry.

## ◆ begin() [1/2]

ChildType** OGRMultiPolygon::begin | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Return begin of iterator.

Since
  GDAL 2.3

## ◆ begin() [2/2]

const ChildType* const* OGRMultiPolygon::begin | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Return begin of iterator.

Since
  GDAL 2.3

## ◆ Boundary()

OGRGeometry * OGRGeometry::Boundary | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Compute boundary.

A new geometry object is created and returned containing the boundary of the geometry on which the method is invoked.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Returns
  a newly allocated geometry now owned by the caller, or NULL on failure.

Since
  OGR 1.8.0

## ◆ Buffer()

OGRGeometry * OGRGeometry::Buffer | ( | double | dfDist,
|  | int | nQuadSegs = `30`
| ) |  | const
| virtual inherited

Compute buffer of geometry.

Builds a new geometry containing the buffer region around the geometry on which it is invoked. The buffer is a polygon containing the region within the buffer distance of the original geometry.

Some buffer sections are properly described as curves, but are converted to approximate polygons. The nQuadSegs parameter can be used to control how many segments should be used to define a 90 degree curve - a quadrant of a circle. A value of 30 is a reasonable default. Large values result in large numbers of vertices in the resulting buffer geometry while small numbers reduce the accuracy of the result.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Parameters

  dfDist | the buffer distance to be applied. Should be expressed into the same unit as the coordinates of the geometry.
  nQuadSegs | the number of segments used to approximate a 90 degree (quadrant) of curvature.

Returns
  the newly created geometry, or NULL if an error occurs.

## ◆ CastToGeometryCollection()

OGRGeometryCollection * OGRGeometryCollection::CastToGeometryCollection | ( | OGRGeometryCollection * | poSrc | ) |
| static inherited

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or NULL in case of failure).

Parameters

  poSrc | the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.

Returns
  new geometry.

Since
  GDAL 2.2

## ◆ CastToMultiPolygon()

OGRMultiPolygon * OGRMultiSurface::CastToMultiPolygon | ( | OGRMultiSurface * | poMS | ) |
| static inherited

Cast to multipolygon.

This method should only be called if the multisurface actually only contains instances of OGRPolygon. This can be verified if hasCurveGeometry(TRUE) returns FALSE. It is not intended to approximate curve polygons. For that use getLinearGeometry().

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or NULL in case of failure).

Parameters

  poMS | the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.

Returns
  new geometry.

## ◆ CastToMultiSurface()

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned .

Parameters

  poMP | the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.

Returns
  new geometry.

## ◆ Centroid()

OGRErr OGRGeometry::Centroid | ( | OGRPoint * | poPoint | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Compute the geometry centroid.

The centroid location is applied to the passed in OGRPoint object. The centroid is not necessarily within the geometry.

This method relates to the SFCOM ISurface::get_Centroid() method however the current implementation based on GEOS can operate on other geometry types such as multipoint, linestring, geometrycollection such as multipolygons. OGC SF SQL 1.1 defines the operation for surfaces (polygons). SQL/MM-Part 3 defines the operation for surfaces and multisurfaces (multipolygons).

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

This function is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this function will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or OGRERR_FAILURE on error.

Returns
  a new object instance with the same geometry, and spatial reference system as the original.

Reimplemented from OGRMultiSurface.

## ◆ closeRings()

void OGRGeometryCollection::closeRings | ( |  | ) |
| override virtual inherited

Or equivalently, two geometries are considered equal by this method if their WKT/WKB representation is equal. Note: this must be distinguished for equality in a spatial way (which is the purpose of the ST_Equals() operation).

- GML3_LINESTRING_ELEMENT=curve. (Only valid for FORMAT=GML3) To use gml:Curve element for linestrings. Otherwise gml:LineString will be used .
- GML3_LONGSRS=YES/NO. (Only valid for FORMAT=GML3) Default to YES. If YES, SRS with EPSG authority will be written with the "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::" prefix. In the case, if the SRS is a geographic SRS without explicit AXIS order, but that the same SRS authority code imported with ImportFromEPSGA() should be treated as lat/long, then the function will take care of coordinate order swapping. If set to NO, SRS with EPSG authority will be written with the "EPSG:" prefix, even if they are in lat/long order.

Geometry validity is not checked. In case you are unsure of the validity of the input geometries, call IsValid() before, otherwise the result might be wrong.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Parameters

  poOtherGeom | the other geometry.

Returns
  a new geometry representing the symmetric difference or NULL if the difference is empty or an error occurs.

## ◆ Touches()

OGRBoolean OGRGeometry::Touches | ( | const OGRGeometry * | poOtherGeom | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Test for touching.

Tests if this geometry and the other passed into the method are touching.

Geometry validity is not checked. In case you are unsure of the validity of the input geometries, call IsValid() before, otherwise the result might be wrong.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Parameters

  poOtherGeom | the geometry to compare to this geometry.

Returns
  TRUE if they are touching, otherwise FALSE.

## ◆ transform()

OGRErr OGRGeometryCollection::transform | ( | OGRCoordinateTransformation * | poCT | ) |
| override virtual inherited

Apply arbitrary coordinate transformation to geometry.

This method will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their current spatial reference system to a new target spatial reference system. Normally this means reprojecting the vectors, but it could include datum shifts, and changes of units.

Note that this method does not require that the geometry already have a spatial reference system. It will be assumed that they can be treated as having the source spatial reference system of the OGRCoordinateTransformation object, and the actual SRS of the geometry will be ignored. On successful completion the output OGRSpatialReference of the OGRCoordinateTransformation will be assigned to the geometry.

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

Parameters

  poCT | the transformation to apply.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

Implements OGRGeometry.

## ◆ transformTo()

OGRErr OGRGeometry::transformTo | ( | OGRSpatialReference * | poSR | ) |
| inherited

Transform geometry to new spatial reference system.

This method will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their current spatial reference system to a new target spatial reference system. Normally this means reprojecting the vectors, but it could include datum shifts, and changes of units.

This method will only work if the geometry already has an assigned spatial reference system, and if it is transformable to the target coordinate system.

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

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

Parameters

  poSR | spatial reference system to transform to.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, or an error code.

## ◆ Union()

OGRGeometry * OGRGeometry::Union | ( | const OGRGeometry * | poOtherGeom | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Compute union.

Generates a new geometry which is the region of union of the two geometries operated on.

Geometry validity is not checked. In case you are unsure of the validity of the input geometries, call IsValid() before, otherwise the result might be wrong.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Parameters

  poOtherGeom | the other geometry unioned with "this" geometry.

Returns
  a new geometry representing the union or NULL if an error occurs.

## ◆ UnionCascaded()

OGRGeometry * OGRGeometry::UnionCascaded | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Compute union using cascading.

Geometry validity is not checked. In case you are unsure of the validity of the input geometries, call IsValid() before, otherwise the result might be wrong.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Returns
  a new geometry representing the union or NULL if an error occurs.

Since

## ◆ Within()

OGRBoolean OGRGeometry::Within | ( | const OGRGeometry * | poOtherGeom | ) | const
| virtual inherited

Test for containment.

Tests if actual geometry object is within the passed geometry.

Geometry validity is not checked. In case you are unsure of the validity of the input geometries, call IsValid() before, otherwise the result might be wrong.

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

This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error.

Parameters

  poOtherGeom | the geometry to compare to this geometry.

Returns
  TRUE if poOtherGeom is within this geometry, otherwise FALSE.

Reimplemented in OGRPoint.

## ◆ WkbSize()

size_t OGRGeometryCollection::WkbSize | ( |  | ) | const
| override virtual inherited

Returns size of related binary representation.

This method returns the exact number of bytes required to hold the well known binary representation of this geometry object. Its computation may be slightly expensive for complex geometries.

This method relates to the SFCOM IWks::WkbSize() method.

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

Returns
  size of binary representation in bytes.

Implements OGRGeometry.
