Method Detail

### UseExceptions

    public static void UseExceptions()

  Use exceptions instead of error return codes. This is the default behavious : methods that in C/C++ return an OGRErr return code would throw a RuntimeException() in case the code it is different from ogr.OGRERR_NONE. By calling this method, you can get back to that original state if DontUseExceptions() was called in-between. This will only apply to the org.gdal.ogr.* package.

  Since:
    Java bindings 1.7.0

### DontUseExceptions

    public static void DontUseExceptions()

  Use return code instead of exceptions. By default, methods that in C/C++ return an OGRErr return code would throw a RuntimeException() in case the code it is different from ogr.OGRERR_NONE. By calling this method, you can prevent the exception to be thrown and get the original error code (ogr.OGRERR_* codes) This will only apply to the org.gdal.ogr.* package.

  Since:
    Java bindings 1.7.0

### GeometryTypeToName

    public static String GeometryTypeToName(int eType)

  Fetch a human readable name corresponding to an OGRwkBGeometryType value.

    human readable string, or null on failure.
  Since:
    Java bindings 1.7.0

### GetFieldTypeName

### GetOpenDS

    public static DataSource GetOpenDS(int iDS)

  Return the iDS th datasource opened.

  Parameters:
    `iDS` - the index of the dataset to return (between 0 and GetOpenDSCount() - 1)

### Open

    public static DataSource Open(String filename,
                                  int update)

  Open a file / data source with one of the registered drivers. This method loops through all the drivers registered with the driver manager trying each until one succeeds with the given data source.

  If this method fails, gdal.GetLastErrorMsg() can be used to check if there is an error message explaining why.

  The returned dataset should be properly closed with the DataSource.delete() method.

  Example:

          DataSource ds = ogr.Open( "polygon.shp" );
          if( ds == null )
          {
              return;
          }

          ... use the data source ...

          ds.delete();

  Parameters:
    `filename` - the name of the file, or data source to open.
    `update` - 0 for read-only access (the default) or 1 for read-write access.
  Returns:
    null on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise a pointer to an DataSource. This DataSource should be closed by calling the delete() method when it is no longer needed.

### Open

    public static DataSource Open(String filename)

  Since:
    Java bindings 1.7.0

  Open a file / data source with one of the registered drivers. This first try finding an existing open dataset matching exactly on the original datasource raw name used to open the datasource.

  NOTE: It is an error, but currently we ignore the bUpdate, and return whatever is open even if it is read-only and the application requested update access.

  See Also:
    `Open(String filename, int update)`

### OpenShared

    public static DataSource OpenShared(String filename)

  The typical usage looks something like the following. Note that the formats should be registered so that the --formats and --format options will work properly.

        public static void main( Strings[] args )
        {
          ogr.RegisterAll();

          args = ogr.GeneralCmdLineProcessor( args, 0 );
