OGRErr OGR_DS_SyncToDisk | ( | OGRDataSourceH | hDS | ) |

Flush pending changes to disk.

This call is intended to force the datasource to flush any pending writes to disk, and leave the disk file in a consistent state. It would not normally have any effect on read-only datasources.

Some data sources do not implement this method, and will still return OGRERR_NONE. An error is only returned if an error occurs while attempting to flush to disk.

The default implementation of this method just calls the SyncToDisk() method on each of the layers. Conceptionally, calling SyncToDisk() on a datasource should include any work that might be accomplished by calling SyncToDisk() on layers in that data source.

In any event, you should always close any opened datasource with OGR_DS_Destroy() that will ensure all data is correctly flushed.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRDataSource::SyncToDisk()

Parameters:

  | hDS | handle to the data source

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE if no error occurs (even if nothing is done) or an error code.

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 segements 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 function is the same as the C++ method OGRGeometry::Buffer().

OGRErr OGR_L_DeleteFeature | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | long | nFID |
| ) |  |  |

Delete feature from layer.

The feature with the indicated feature id is deleted from the layer if supported by the driver. Most drivers do not support feature deletion, and will return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION. The OGR_L_TestCapability() function may be called with OLCDeleteFeature to check if the driver supports feature deletion.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::DeleteFeature().

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer
  | nFID | the feature id to be deleted from the layer

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE on success.

OGRErr OGR_L_GetExtent | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | OGREnvelope * | psExtent,
|  | int | bForce |
| ) |  |  |

Fetch the extent of this layer.

Returns the extent (MBR) of the data in the layer. If bForce is FALSE, and it would be expensive to establish the extent then OGRERR_FAILURE will be returned indicating that the extent isn't know. If bForce is TRUE then some implementations will actually scan the entire layer once to compute the MBR of all the features in the layer.

Depending on the drivers, the returned extent may or may not take the spatial filter into account. So it is safer to call OGR_L_GetExtent() without setting a spatial filter.

Layers without any geometry may return OGRERR_FAILURE just indicating that no meaningful extents could be collected.

Note that some implementations of this method may alter the read cursor of the layer.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetExtent().

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer from which to get extent.
  | psExtent | the structure in which the extent value will be returned.
  | bForce | Flag indicating whether the extent should be computed even if it is expensive.

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_FAILURE if extent not known.

OGRFeatureH OGR_L_GetFeature | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | long | nFeatureId |
| ) |  |  |

Fetch a feature by its identifier.

This function will attempt to read the identified feature. The nFID value cannot be OGRNullFID. Success or failure of this operation is unaffected by the spatial or attribute filters.

If this function returns a non-NULL feature, it is guaranteed that its feature id (OGR_F_GetFID()) will be the same as nFID.

Use OGR_L_TestCapability(OLCRandomRead) to establish if this layer supports efficient random access reading via OGR_L_GetFeature(); however, the call should always work if the feature exists as a fallback implementation just scans all the features in the layer looking for the desired feature.

Sequential reads are generally considered interrupted by a OGR_L_GetFeature() call.

The returned feature should be free with OGR_F_Destroy().

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::GetFeature( ).

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer that owned the feature.
  | nFeatureId | the feature id of the feature to read.

Returns:
  an handle to a feature now owned by the caller, or NULL on failure.

int OGR_L_GetFeatureCount | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | int | bForce |
| ) |  |  |

Fetch the feature count in this layer.

Returns the number of features in the layer. For dynamic databases the count may not be exact. If bForce is FALSE, and it would be expensive to establish the feature count a value of -1 may be returned indicating that the count isn't know. If bForce is TRUE some implementations will actually scan the entire layer once to count objects.

The returned count takes the spatial filter into account.

Note that some implementations of this method may alter the read cursor of the layer.

This function is the same as the CPP OGRLayer::GetFeatureCount().

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer that owned the features.

The returned feature becomes the responsiblity of the caller to delete with OGR_F_Destroy(). It is critical that all features associated with an OGRLayer (more specifically an OGRFeatureDefn) be deleted before that layer/datasource is deleted.

Only features matching the current spatial filter (set with SetSpatialFilter()) will be returned.

This function implements sequential access to the features of a layer. The OGR_L_ResetReading() function can be used to start at the beginning again.

OGRErr OGR_L_SetAttributeFilter | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | const char * | pszQuery |
| ) |  |  |

Set a new attribute query.

This function sets the attribute query string to be used when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() function. Only features for which the query evaluates as true will be returned.

The query string should be in the format of an SQL WHERE clause. For instance "population > 1000000 and population < 5000000" where population is an attribute in the layer. The query format is a restricted form of SQL WHERE clause as defined "eq_format=restricted_where" about half way through this document:

http://ogdi.sourceforge.net/prop/6.2.CapabilitiesMetadata.html

Note that installing a query string will generally result in resetting the current reading position (ala OGR_L_ResetReading()).

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetAttributeFilter().

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer on which attribute query will be executed.
  | pszQuery | query in restricted SQL WHERE format, or NULL to clear the current query.

Returns:

OGRErr OGR_L_SetIgnoredFields | ( | OGRLayerH | ,
|  | const char ** | papszFields |
| ) |  |  |

Set which fields can be omitted when retrieving features from the layer.

If the driver supports this functionality (testable using OLCIgnoreFields capability), it will not fetch the specified fields in subsequent calls to GetFeature() / GetNextFeature() and thus save some processing time and/or bandwidth.

Besides field names of the layers, the following special fields can be passed: "OGR_GEOMETRY" to ignore geometry and "OGR_STYLE" to ignore layer style.

By default, no fields are ignored.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetIgnoredFields()

Parameters:

  | papszFields | an array of field names terminated by NULL item. If NULL is passed, the ignored list is cleared.

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE if all field names have been resolved (even if the driver does not support this method)

OGRErr OGR_L_SetNextByIndex | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | long | nIndex |
| ) |  |  |

Move read cursor to the nIndex'th feature in the current resultset.

This method allows positioning of a layer such that the GetNextFeature() call will read the requested feature, where nIndex is an absolute index into the current result set. So, setting it to 3 would mean the next feature read with GetNextFeature() would have been the 4th feature to have been read if sequential reading took place from the beginning of the layer, including accounting for spatial and attribute filters.

Only in rare circumstances is SetNextByIndex() efficiently implemented. In all other cases the default implementation which calls ResetReading() and then calls GetNextFeature() nIndex times is used. To determine if fast seeking is available on the current layer use the TestCapability() method with a value of OLCFastSetNextByIndex.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetNextByIndex()

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer
  | nIndex | the index indicating how many steps into the result set to seek.

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

void OGR_L_SetSpatialFilter | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer,
|  | OGRGeometryH | hGeom |
| ) |  |  |

Set a new spatial filter.

This function set the geometry to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() function. Only features that geometrically intersect the filter geometry will be returned.

Currently this test is may be inaccurately implemented, but it is guaranteed that all features who's envelope (as returned by OGR_G_GetEnvelope()) overlaps the envelope of the spatial filter will be returned. This can result in more shapes being returned that should strictly be the case.

This function makes an internal copy of the passed geometry. The passed geometry remains the responsibility of the caller, and may be safely destroyed.

For the time being the passed filter geometry should be in the same SRS as the layer (as returned by OGR_L_GetSpatialRef()). In the future this may be generalized.

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter.

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
  | hGeom | handle to the geometry to use as a filtering region. NULL may be passed indicating that the current spatial filter should be cleared, but no new one instituted.

| ) |  |  |

Set a new rectangular spatial filter.

This method set rectangle to be used as a spatial filter when fetching features via the OGR_L_GetNextFeature() method. Only features that geometrically intersect the given rectangle will be returned.

The x/y values should be in the same coordinate system as the layer as a whole (as returned by OGRLayer::GetSpatialRef()). Internally this method is normally implemented as creating a 5 vertex closed rectangular polygon and passing it to OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(). It exists as a convenience.

The only way to clear a spatial filter set with this method is to call OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(NULL).

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilterRect().

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer on which to set the spatial filter.
  | dfMinX | the minimum X coordinate for the rectangular region.
  | dfMinY | the minimum Y coordinate for the rectangular region.

OGRErr OGR_L_SyncToDisk | ( | OGRLayerH | hLayer | ) |

Flush pending changes to disk.

This call is intended to force the layer to flush any pending writes to disk, and leave the disk file in a consistent state. It would not normally have any effect on read-only datasources.

Some layers do not implement this method, and will still return OGRERR_NONE. The default implementation just returns OGRERR_NONE. An error is only returned if an error occurs while attempting to flush to disk.

In any event, you should always close any opened datasource with OGR_DS_Destroy() that will ensure all data is correctly flushed.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRLayer::SyncToDisk()

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer

Test if this layer supported the named capability.

The capability codes that can be tested are represented as strings, but #defined constants exists to ensure correct spelling. Specific layer types may implement class specific capabilities, but this can't generally be discovered by the caller.

- OLCRandomRead / "RandomRead": TRUE if the GetFeature() method is implemented in an optimized way for this layer, as opposed to the default implementation using ResetReading() and GetNextFeature() to find the requested feature id.

- OLCSequentialWrite / "SequentialWrite": TRUE if the CreateFeature() method works for this layer. Note this means that this particular layer is writable. The same OGRLayer class may returned FALSE for other layer instances that are effectively read-only.

- OLCRandomWrite / "RandomWrite": TRUE if the SetFeature() method is operational on this layer. Note this means that this particular layer is writable. The same OGRLayer class may returned FALSE for other layer instances that are effectively read-only.

- OLCFastSpatialFilter / "FastSpatialFilter": TRUE if this layer implements spatial filtering efficiently. Layers that effectively read all features, and test them with the OGRFeature intersection methods should return FALSE. This can be used as a clue by the application whether it should build and maintain its own spatial index for features in this layer.

- OLCFastFeatureCount / "FastFeatureCount": TRUE if this layer can return a feature count (via OGR_L_GetFeatureCount()) efficiently ... ie. without counting the features. In some cases this will return TRUE until a spatial filter is installed after which it will return FALSE.

- OLCFastGetExtent / "FastGetExtent": TRUE if this layer can return its data extent (via OGR_L_GetExtent()) efficiently ... ie. without scanning all the features. In some cases this will return TRUE until a spatial filter is installed after which it will return FALSE.

- OLCFastSetNextByIndex / "FastSetNextByIndex": TRUE if this layer can perform the SetNextByIndex() call efficiently, otherwise FALSE.

- OLCCreateField / "CreateField": TRUE if this layer can create new fields on the current layer using CreateField(), otherwise FALSE.

- OLCDeleteFeature / "DeleteFeature": TRUE if the DeleteFeature() method is supported on this layer, otherwise FALSE.

- OLCStringsAsUTF8 / "StringsAsUTF8": TRUE if values of OFTString fields are assured to be in UTF-8 format. If FALSE the encoding of fields is uncertain, though it might still be UTF-8.

- OLCTransactions / "Transactions": TRUE if the StartTransaction(), CommitTransaction() and RollbackTransaction() methods work in a meaningful way, otherwise FALSE.

Parameters:

  | hLayer | handle to the layer to get the capability from.

void OGRCleanupAll | ( | void |  | ) |

Cleanup all OGR related resources.

This function will destroy the OGRSFDriverRegistrar along with all registered drivers, and then cleanup long lived OSR (OGRSpatialReference) and CPL resources. This may be called in an application when OGR services are no longer needed. It is not normally required, but by freeing all dynamically allocated memory it can make memory leak testing easier.

In addition to destroying the OGRDriverRegistrar, this function also calls:

OGRDataSourceH OGROpen | ( | const char * | pszName,
|  | int | bUpdate,
|  | OGRSFDriverH * | pahDriverList |
| ) |  |  |

Open a file / data source with one of the registered drivers.

This function loops through all the drivers registered with the driver manager trying each until one succeeds with the given data source. This function is static. Applications don't normally need to use any other OGRSFDriverRegistrar function, not do they normally need to have a pointer to an OGRSFDriverRegistrar instance.

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

This function is the same as the C++ method OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open().

Parameters:

  | pszName | the name of the file, or data source to open.
  | bUpdate | FALSE for read-only access (the default) or TRUE for read-write access.
  | pahDriverList | if non-NULL, this argument will be updated with a pointer to the driver which was used to open the data source.

Returns:
  NULL on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise an handle to an OGRDataSource. This OGRDataSource should be closed by deleting the object when it is no longer needed.

Example:

        OGRDataSourceH	hDS;
        OGRSFDriverH        *pahDriver;

        hDS = OGROpen( "polygon.shp", 0, pahDriver );
        if( hDS == NULL )
