## Detailed Description

A simple feature, including geometry and attributes.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

Constructor.

Note that the OGRFeature will increment the reference count of it's 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.

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

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

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

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::SetGeometry | ( | 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().

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.

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().

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.

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

OGRErr OGRFeature::SetFrom | ( | OGRFeature * | poSrcFeature,
|  | 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().

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.

const char * OGRFeature::GetStyleString | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

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.

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

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

void OGRFeature::SetStyleString | ( | const char * | pszString | ) | `[virtual]`

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 OGRFeature::SetStyleStringDirectly | ( | char * | pszString | ) | `[virtual]`

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.

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. May be deleted with delete.

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.
