## Member Function Documentation

int OGRPoint::WkbSize | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

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.

OGRErr OGRPoint::importFromWkb | ( | unsigned char * | pabyData,
|  | int | nSize = `-1` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Assign geometry from well known binary data.

The object must have already been instantiated as the correct derived type of geometry object to match the binaries type. This method is used by the OGRGeometryFactory class, but not normally called by application code.

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

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

Parameters:

  | pabyData | the binary input data.
  | nSize | the size of pabyData in bytes, or zero if not known.

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE if all goes well, otherwise any of OGRERR_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA, OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE, or OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA may be returned.

Implements OGRGeometry.

OGRErr OGRPoint::exportToWkb | ( | OGRwkbByteOrder | eByteOrder,
|  | unsigned char * | pabyData |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Convert a geometry into well known binary format.

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

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

Parameters:

  | eByteOrder | One of wkbXDR or wkbNDR indicating MSB or LSB byte order respectively.
  | pabyData | a buffer into which the binary representation is written. This buffer must be at least OGRGeometry::WkbSize() byte in size.

Returns:
  Currently OGRERR_NONE is always returned.

The object must have already been instantiated as the correct derived type of geometry object to match the text type. This method is used by the OGRGeometryFactory class, but not normally called by application code.

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

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

Parameters:

  | ppszInput | pointer to a pointer to the source text. The pointer is updated to pointer after the consumed text.

Returns:
  OGRERR_NONE if all goes well, otherwise any of OGRERR_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA, OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE, or OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA may be returned.

OGRErr OGRPoint::transform | ( | OGRCoordinateTransformation * | poCT | ) | `[virtual]`

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.
