Public Static Functions

static OGRErr createFromWkb(const void*, const OGRSpatialReference*, OGRGeometry**, size_t = static_cast<size_t>(-1), OGRwkbVariant = wkbVariantOldOgc)

Create a geometry object of the appropriate type from its well known binary representation.

Note that if nBytes is passed as zero, no checking can be done on whether the pabyData is sufficient. This can result in a crash if the input data is corrupt. This function returns no indication of the number of bytes from the data source actually used to represent the returned geometry object. Use OGRGeometry::WkbSize() on the returned geometry to establish the number of bytes it required in WKB format.

Also note that this is a static method, and that there is no need to instantiate an OGRGeometryFactory object.

The C function OGR_G_CreateFromWkb() is the same as this method.

Parameters:

pabyData -- pointer to the input BLOB data.
poSR -- pointer to the spatial reference to be assigned to the created geometry object. This may be NULL.
ppoReturn -- the newly created geometry object will be assigned to the indicated pointer on return. This will be NULL in case of failure. If not NULL, *ppoReturn should be freed with OGRGeometryFactory::destroyGeometry() after use.
nBytes -- the number of bytes available in pabyData, or -1 if it isn't known
eWkbVariant -- WKB variant.

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.

Create a geometry object of the appropriate type from its well known binary representation.

Note that if nBytes is passed as zero, no checking can be done on whether the pabyData is sufficient. This can result in a crash if the input data is corrupt. This function returns no indication of the number of bytes from the data source actually used to represent the returned geometry object. Use OGRGeometry::WkbSize() on the returned geometry to establish the number of bytes it required in WKB format.

Also note that this is a static method, and that there is no need to instantiate an OGRGeometryFactory object.

The C function OGR_G_CreateFromWkb() is the same as this method.

Parameters:

pabyData -- pointer to the input BLOB data.
poSR -- pointer to the spatial reference to be assigned to the created geometry object. This may be NULL.

nBytes -- the number of bytes available in pabyData, or -1 if it isn't known
eWkbVariant -- WKB variant.
nBytesConsumedOut -- output parameter. Number of bytes consumed.

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.

Also note that this is a static method, and that there is no need to instantiate an OGRGeometryFactory object.

The C function OGR_G_CreateFromFgf() is the same as this method.

Parameters:

poSR -- pointer to the spatial reference to be assigned to the created geometry object. This may be NULL.
ppoReturn -- the newly created geometry object will be assigned to the indicated pointer on return. This will be NULL in case of failure, but NULL might be a valid return for a NULL shape.
nBytes -- the number of bytes available in pabyData.
pnBytesConsumed -- if not NULL, it will be set to the number of bytes consumed (at most nBytes).

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.

static OGRGeometry *createFromGML(const char*)

Create geometry from GML.

This method translates a fragment of GML containing only the geometry portion into a corresponding OGRGeometry. There are many limitations on the forms of GML geometries supported by this parser, but they are too numerous to list here.

The following GML2 elements are parsed : Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, MultiGeometry.

The following GML3 elements are parsed : Surface, MultiSurface, PolygonPatch, Triangle, Rectangle, Curve, MultiCurve, LineStringSegment, Arc, Circle, CompositeSurface, OrientableSurface, Solid, Tin, TriangulatedSurface.

Arc and Circle elements are returned as curves by default. Stroking to linestrings can be done with OGR_G_ForceTo(hGeom, OGR_GT_GetLinear(OGR_G_GetGeometryType(hGeom)), NULL). A 4 degrees step is used by default, unless the user has overridden the value with the OGR_ARC_STEPSIZE configuration variable.

The C function OGR_G_CreateFromGML() is the same as this method.

Since: GDAL 2.3

Parameters:: oJsonObject -- The JSONObject class describes the GeoJSON geometry.
Returns:: a geometry on success, or NULL on error.

static void destroyGeometry(OGRGeometry*)

Destroy geometry object.

Equivalent to invoking delete on a geometry, but it guaranteed to take place within the context of the GDAL/OGR heap.

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

Parameters:: poGeom -- the geometry to deallocate.

static OGRGeometry *createGeometry(OGRwkbGeometryType)

Create an empty geometry of desired type.

This is equivalent to allocating the desired geometry with new, but the allocation is guaranteed to take place in the context of the GDAL/OGR heap.

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

Parameters:: eGeometryType -- the type code of the geometry class to be instantiated.
Returns:: the newly create geometry or NULL on failure. Should be freed with OGRGeometryFactory::destroyGeometry() after use.

static OGRGeometry *forceToPolygon(OGRGeometry*)

Convert to polygon.

Tries to force the provided geometry to be a polygon. This effects a change on multipolygons. Starting with GDAL 2.0, curve polygons or closed curves will be changed to polygons. The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Note: the resulting polygon may break the Simple Features rules for polygons, for example when converting from a multi-part multipolygon.

Parameters:: poGeom -- the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.
Returns:: new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *forceToLineString(OGRGeometry*, bool bOnlyInOrder = true)

Convert to line string.

Tries to force the provided geometry to be a line string. This nominally effects a change on multilinestrings. In GDAL 2.0, for polygons or curvepolygons that have a single exterior ring, it will return the ring. For circular strings or compound curves, it will return an approximated line string.

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Parameters:

poGeom -- the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.
bOnlyInOrder -- flag that, if set to FALSE, indicate that the order of points in a linestring might be reversed if it enables to match the extremity of another linestring. If set to TRUE, the start of a linestring must match the end of another linestring.

Returns:

new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *forceToMultiPolygon(OGRGeometry*)

Convert to multipolygon.

Tries to force the provided geometry to be a multipolygon. Currently this just effects a change on polygons. The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Returns:: new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *forceToMultiPoint(OGRGeometry*)

Convert to multipoint.

Tries to force the provided geometry to be a multipoint. Currently this just effects a change on points or collection of points. The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Returns:: new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *forceToMultiLineString(OGRGeometry*)

Convert to multilinestring.

Tries to force the provided geometry to be a multilinestring.

linestrings are placed in a multilinestring.
circularstrings and compoundcurves will be approximated and placed in a multilinestring.
geometry collections will be converted to multilinestring if they only contain linestrings.
polygons will be changed to a collection of linestrings (one per ring).
curvepolygons will be approximated and changed to a collection of ( linestrings (one per ring).

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Returns:: new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *forceTo(OGRGeometry *poGeom, OGRwkbGeometryType eTargetType, const char *const *papszOptions = nullptr)

Convert to another geometry type.

Tries to force the provided geometry to the specified geometry type.

It can promote 'single' geometry type to their corresponding collection type (see OGR_GT_GetCollection()) or the reverse. non-linear geometry type to their corresponding linear geometry type (see OGR_GT_GetLinear()), by possibly approximating circular arcs they may contain. Regarding conversion from linear geometry types to curve geometry types, only "wrapping" will be done. No attempt to retrieve potential circular arcs by de-approximating stroking will be done. For that, OGRGeometry::getCurveGeometry() can be used.

The passed in geometry is consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).

Starting with GDAL 3.9, this method honours the dimensionality of eTargetType.

Since: GDAL 2.0

Parameters:

poGeom -- the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.
eTargetType -- target output geometry type.
papszOptions -- options as a null-terminated list of strings or NULL.

Returns:

new geometry, or nullptr in case of error.

static OGRGeometry *removeLowerDimensionSubGeoms(const OGRGeometry *poGeom)

Remove sub-geometries from a geometry collection that do not have the maximum topological dimensionality of the collection.

This is typically to be used as a cleanup phase after running OGRGeometry::MakeValid()

For example, MakeValid() on a polygon can return a geometry collection of polygons and linestrings. Calling this method will return either a polygon or multipolygon by dropping those linestrings.

On a non-geometry collection, this will return a clone of the passed geometry.

Since: GDAL 3.1.0

Parameters:: poGeom -- input geometry
Returns:: a new geometry.

static OGRGeometry *organizePolygons(OGRGeometry **papoPolygons, int nPolygonCount, int *pbResultValidGeometry, const char **papszOptions = nullptr)

Organize polygons based on geometries.

Analyse a set of rings (passed as simple polygons), and based on a geometric analysis convert them into a polygon with inner rings, (or a MultiPolygon if dealing with more than one polygon) that follow the OGC Simple Feature specification.

All the input geometries must be OGRPolygon/OGRCurvePolygon with only a valid exterior ring (at least 4 points) and no interior rings.

The passed in geometries become the responsibility of the method, but the papoPolygons "pointer array" remains owned by the caller.

For faster computation, a polygon is considered to be inside another one if a single point of its external ring is included into the other one. (unless 'OGR_DEBUG_ORGANIZE_POLYGONS' configuration option is set to TRUE. In that case, a slower algorithm that tests exact topological relationships is used if GEOS is available.)

In cases where a big number of polygons is passed to this function, the default processing may be really slow. You can skip the processing by adding METHOD=SKIP to the option list (the result of the function will be a multi-polygon with all polygons as toplevel polygons) or only make it analyze counterclockwise polygons by adding METHOD=ONLY_CCW to the option list if you can assume that the outline of holes is counterclockwise defined (this is the convention for example in shapefiles, Personal Geodatabases or File Geodatabases).

For FileGDB, in most cases, but not always, a faster method than ONLY_CCW can be used. It is CCW_INNER_JUST_AFTER_CW_OUTER. When using it, inner rings are assumed to be counterclockwise oriented, and following immediately the outer ring (clockwise oriented) that they belong to. If that assumption is not met, an inner ring could be attached to the wrong outer ring, so this method must be used with care.

If the OGR_ORGANIZE_POLYGONS configuration option is defined, its value will override the value of the METHOD option of papszOptions (useful to modify the behavior of the shapefile driver)

Parameters:

papoPolygons -- array of geometry pointers - should all be OGRPolygons or OGRCurvePolygons. Ownership of the geometries is passed, but not of the array itself.
nPolygonCount -- number of items in papoPolygons
pbIsValidGeometry -- value may be set to FALSE if an invalid result is detected. Validity checks vary according to the method used and are are limited to what is needed to link inner rings to outer rings, so a result of TRUE does not mean that OGRGeometry::IsValid() returns TRUE.
papszOptions -- a list of strings for passing options

Returns:

a single resulting geometry (either OGRPolygon, OGRCurvePolygon, OGRMultiPolygon, OGRMultiSurface or OGRGeometryCollection). Returns a POLYGON EMPTY in the case of nPolygonCount being 0.

static bool haveGEOS()

Test if GEOS enabled.

This static method returns TRUE if GEOS support is built into OGR, otherwise it returns FALSE.

Returns:: TRUE if available, otherwise FALSE.

static OGRGeometry *transformWithOptions(const OGRGeometry *poSrcGeom, OGRCoordinateTransformation *poCT, char **papszOptions, const TransformWithOptionsCache &cache = TransformWithOptionsCache())

Transform a geometry.

Parameters:

poSrcGeom -- source geometry
poCT -- coordinate transformation object, or NULL.
papszOptions -- options. Including WRAPDATELINE=YES and DATELINEOFFSET=.
cache -- Cache. May increase performance if persisted between invocations

Returns:

(new) transformed geometry.

static OGRGeometry *approximateArcAngles(double dfX, double dfY, double dfZ, double dfPrimaryRadius, double dfSecondaryAxis, double dfRotation, double dfStartAngle, double dfEndAngle, double dfMaxAngleStepSizeDegrees, const bool bUseMaxGap = false)

Stroke arc to linestring.

Stroke an arc of a circle to a linestring based on a center point, radius, start angle and end angle, all angles in degrees.

If the dfMaxAngleStepSizeDegrees is zero, then a default value will be used. This is currently 4 degrees unless the user has overridden the value with the OGR_ARC_STEPSIZE configuration variable.

If the OGR_ARC_MAX_GAP configuration variable is set, the straight-line distance between adjacent pairs of interpolated points will be limited to the specified distance. If the distance between a pair of points exceeds this maximum, additional points are interpolated between the two points.

static int GetCurveParameters(double x0, double y0, double x1, double y1, double x2, double y2, double &R, double &cx, double &cy, double &alpha0, double &alpha1, double &alpha2)

Returns the parameter of an arc circle.

Angles are return in radians, with trigonometic convention (counter clock wise)

Since: GDAL 2.0

Parameters:

y0 -- y of first point
x1 -- x of intermediate point
y1 -- y of intermediate point
x2 -- x of final point
y2 -- y of final point
R -- radius (output)
cx -- x of arc center (output)
cy -- y of arc center (output)
alpha0 -- angle between center and first point, in radians (output)
alpha1 -- angle between center and intermediate point, in radians (output)
alpha2 -- angle between center and final point, in radians (output)

Returns:

TRUE if the points are not aligned and define an arc circle.

static OGRLineString *curveToLineString(double x0, double y0, double z0, double x1, double y1, double z1, double x2, double y2, double z2, int bHasZ, double dfMaxAngleStepSizeDegrees, const char *const *papszOptions = nullptr)

Converts an arc circle into an approximate line string.

The arc circle is defined by a first point, an intermediate point and a final point.

The provided dfMaxAngleStepSizeDegrees is a hint. The discretization algorithm may pick a slightly different value.

So as to avoid gaps when rendering curve polygons that share common arcs, this method is guaranteed to return a line with reversed vertex if called with inverted first and final point, and identical intermediate point.

Since: GDAL 2.0

Parameters:

x0 -- x of first point
y0 -- y of first point
z0 -- z of first point
x1 -- x of intermediate point
y1 -- y of intermediate point
z1 -- z of intermediate point
x2 -- x of final point
y2 -- y of final point
z2 -- z of final point
bHasZ -- TRUE if z must be taken into account
dfMaxAngleStepSizeDegrees -- the largest step in degrees along the arc, zero to use the default setting.
papszOptions -- options as a null-terminated list of strings or NULL. Recognized options:
- ADD_INTERMEDIATE_POINT=STEALTH/YES/NO (Default to STEALTH). Determine if and how the intermediate point must be output in the linestring. If set to STEALTH, no explicit intermediate point is added but its properties are encoded in low significant bits of intermediate points and OGRGeometryFactory::curveFromLineString() can decode them. This is the best compromise for round-tripping in OGR and better results with PostGIS ST_LineToCurve(). If set to YES, the intermediate point is explicitly added to the linestring. If set to NO, the intermediate point is not explicitly added.

Returns:

the converted geometry (ownership to caller).

static OGRCurve *curveFromLineString(const OGRLineString *poLS, const char *const *papszOptions = nullptr)

Try to convert a linestring approximating curves into a curve.

This method can return a COMPOUNDCURVE, a CIRCULARSTRING or a LINESTRING.

papszOptions -- options as a null-terminated list of strings. Unused for now. Must be set to NULL.

Returns:

the converted geometry (ownership to caller).

Returns if this geometry is or has curve geometry.

Returns if a geometry is, contains or may contain a CIRCULARSTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE, CURVEPOLYGON, MULTICURVE or MULTISURFACE.

If bLookForNonLinear is set to TRUE, it will be actually looked if the geometry or its subgeometries are or contain a non-linear geometry in them. In which case, if the method returns TRUE, it means that getLinearGeometry() would return an approximate version of the geometry. Otherwise, getLinearGeometry() would do a conversion, but with just converting container type, like COMPOUNDCURVE -> LINESTRING, MULTICURVE -> MULTILINESTRING or MULTISURFACE -> MULTIPOLYGON, resulting in a "loss-less" conversion.

The ownership of the returned geometry belongs to the caller.

The reverse method is OGRGeometry::getLinearGeometry().

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

Returns a geometry that has no CIRCULARSTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE, CURVEPOLYGON, MULTICURVE or MULTISURFACE in it, by approximating curve geometries.

void roundCoordinates(const OGRGeomCoordinatePrecision &sPrecision)

Round coordinates of the geometry to the specified precision.

Note that this is not the same as OGRGeometry::SetPrecision(). The later will return valid geometries, whereas roundCoordinates() does not make such guarantee and may return geometries with invalidities, if they are not compatible of the specified precision. roundCoordinates() supports curve geometries, whereas SetPrecision() does not currently.

One use case for roundCoordinates() is to undo the effect of quantizeCoordinates().

Since: GDAL 3.9

Parameters:: sPrecision -- Contains the precision requirements.

void roundCoordinatesIEEE754(const OGRGeomCoordinateBinaryPrecision &options)

Since: GDAL 3.9

Parameters:: options -- Contains the precision requirements.

virtual void closeRings()

If this geometry, or any contained geometries has polygon rings that are not closed, they will be closed by adding the starting point at the end.

virtual void setCoordinateDimension(int nDimension)

Set the coordinate dimension.

This method sets the explicit coordinate dimension. Setting the coordinate dimension of a geometry to 2 should zero out any existing Z values. Setting the dimension of a geometry collection, a compound curve, a polygon, etc. will affect the children geometries. This will also remove the M dimension if present before this call.

Deprecated:: use set3D() or setMeasured().

Parameters:: nNewDimension -- New coordinate dimension value, either 2 or 3.

virtual void set3D(OGRBoolean bIs3D)

Add or remove the Z coordinate dimension.

This method adds or removes the explicit Z coordinate dimension. Removing the Z coordinate dimension of a geometry will remove any existing Z values. Adding the Z dimension to a geometry collection, a compound curve, a polygon, etc. will affect the children geometries.

Parameters:: bIs3D -- Should the geometry have a Z dimension, either TRUE or FALSE.

virtual void setMeasured(OGRBoolean bIsMeasured)

Parameters:: bIsMeasured -- Should the geometry have a M dimension, either TRUE or FALSE.

virtual void assignSpatialReference(const OGRSpatialReference *poSR)

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.

inline const OGRSpatialReference *getSpatialReference(void) const

Returns spatial reference system for object.

This method relates to the SFCOM IGeometry::get_SpatialReference() method.

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

Returns:: a reference to the spatial reference object. The object may be shared with many geometry objects, and should not be modified.

virtual OGRErr transform(OGRCoordinateTransformation *poCT) = 0

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 only does reprojection on a point-by-point basis. It does not include advanced logic to deal with discontinuities at poles or antimeridian. For that, use the OGRGeometryFactory::transformWithOptions() method.

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.

OGRErr transformTo(const OGRSpatialReference *poSR)

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.

virtual void segmentize(double dfMaxLength)

Parameters:: dfMaxLength -- the maximum distance between 2 points after segmentization

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

Parameters:: poOtherGeom -- the other geometry to test against.
Returns:: TRUE if the geometries intersect, otherwise FALSE.

virtual OGRBoolean Equals(const OGRGeometry*) const = 0

Returns TRUE if two geometries are equivalent.

This operation implements the SQL/MM ST_OrderingEquals() operation.

The comparison is done in a structural way, that is to say that the geometry types must be identical, as well as the number and ordering of sub-geometries and vertices. 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).

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

Returns:: TRUE if equivalent or FALSE otherwise.

Set the geometry's precision, rounding all its coordinates to the precision grid, and making sure the geometry is still valid.

This is a stronger version of roundCoordinates().

Note that at time of writing GEOS does no supported curve geometries. So currently if this function is called on such a geometry, OGR will first call getLinearGeometry() on the input and getCurveGeometry() on the output, but that it is unlikely to yield to the expected result.

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

Note: this must be distinguished for equality in a spatial way (which is the purpose of the ST_Equals() operation).

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

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

Returns:: the geometry type code.

virtual OGRErr transform(OGRCoordinateTransformation *poCT) override

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 only does reprojection on a point-by-point basis. It does not include advanced logic to deal with discontinuities at poles or antimeridian. For that, use the OGRGeometryFactory::transformWithOptions() method.

OGRLinearRing class

class OGRLinearRing : public OGRLineString 

Concrete representation of a closed ring.

This class is functionally equivalent to an OGRLineString, but has a separate identity to maintain alignment with the OpenGIS simple feature data model. It exists to serve as a component of an OGRPolygon.

The OGRLinearRing has no corresponding free standing well known binary representation, so importFromWkb() and exportToWkb() will not actually work. There is a non-standard GDAL WKT representation though.

Because OGRLinearRing is not a "proper" free standing simple features object, it cannot be directly used on a feature via SetGeometry(), and cannot generally be used with GEOS for operations like Intersects(). Instead the polygon should be used, or the OGRLinearRing should be converted to an OGRLineString for such operations.

Note: this class exists in SFSQL 1.2, but not in ISO SQL/MM Part 3.

Public Functions

virtual OGRErr transform(OGRCoordinateTransformation *poCT) override

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 only does reprojection on a point-by-point basis. It does not include advanced logic to deal with discontinuities at poles or antimeridian. For that, use the OGRGeometryFactory::transformWithOptions() method.

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

In which case, if the method returns TRUE, it means that getLinearGeometry() would return an approximate version of the geometry. Otherwise, getLinearGeometry() would do a conversion, but with just converting container type, like COMPOUNDCURVE -> LINESTRING, MULTICURVE -> MULTILINESTRING or MULTISURFACE -> MULTIPOLYGON, resulting in a "loss-less" conversion.

This method relates to the SFCOM IGeometry::Empty() method.

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

virtual OGRErr transform(OGRCoordinateTransformation *poCT) override

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 only does reprojection on a point-by-point basis. It does not include advanced logic to deal with discontinuities at poles or antimeridian. For that, use the OGRGeometryFactory::transformWithOptions() method.

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.

virtual void flattenTo2D() override

Returns if this geometry is or has curve geometry.

Returns if a geometry is, contains or may contain a CIRCULARSTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE, CURVEPOLYGON, MULTICURVE or MULTISURFACE.

If bLookForNonLinear is set to TRUE, it will be actually looked if the geometry or its subgeometries are or contain a non-linear geometry in them. In which case, if the method returns TRUE, it means that getLinearGeometry() would return an approximate version of the geometry. Otherwise, getLinearGeometry() would do a conversion, but with just converting container type, like COMPOUNDCURVE -> LINESTRING, MULTICURVE -> MULTILINESTRING or MULTISURFACE -> MULTIPOLYGON, resulting in a "loss-less" conversion.

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

Since: GDAL 2.0

Parameters:: bLookForNonLinear -- set it to TRUE to check if the geometry is or contains a CIRCULARSTRING.

virtual double get_GeodesicArea(const OGRSpatialReference *poSRSOverride = nullptr) const override

Get the area of the surface object, considered as a surface on the underlying ellipsoid of the SRS attached to the geometry.

The returned area will always be in square meters, and assumes that polygon edges describe geodesic lines on the ellipsoid.

If the geometry' SRS is not a geographic one, geometries are reprojected to the underlying geographic SRS of the geometry' SRS. OGRSpatialReference::GetDataAxisToSRSAxisMapping() is honored.

For polygons the area is computed as the area of the outer ring less the area of all internal rings.

Note that geometries with circular arcs will be linearized in their original coordinate space first, so the resulting geodesic area will be an approximation.

papszOptions -- options as a null-terminated list of strings. Unused for now. Must be set to NULL.

Returns:

a linestring

virtual OGRBoolean Equals(const OGRGeometry*) const override

Returns TRUE if two geometries are equivalent.

This operation implements the SQL/MM ST_OrderingEquals() operation.

The comparison is done in a structural way, that is to say that the geometry types must be identical, as well as the number and ordering of sub-geometries and vertices. 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).

Returns:: TRUE if poOtherGeom contains this geometry, otherwise FALSE.

virtual void setCoordinateDimension(int nDimension) override

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().

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.

virtual void closeRings() override

In which case, if the method returns TRUE, it means that getLinearGeometry() would return an approximate version of the geometry. Otherwise, getLinearGeometry() would do a conversion, but with just converting container type, like COMPOUNDCURVE -> LINESTRING, MULTICURVE -> MULTILINESTRING or MULTISURFACE -> MULTIPOLYGON, resulting in a "loss-less" conversion.

In a sense this converts all Z coordinates to 0.0.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_G_FlattenTo2D().

virtual OGRErr transform(OGRCoordinateTransformation*) override

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 only does reprojection on a point-by-point basis. It does not include advanced logic to deal with discontinuities at poles or antimeridian. For that, use the OGRGeometryFactory::transformWithOptions() method.

Parameters:: poCT -- the transformation to apply.

virtual OGRBoolean Equals(const OGRGeometry*) const override

This operation implements the SQL/MM ST_OrderingEquals() operation.

The comparison is done in a structural way, that is to say that the geometry types must be identical, as well as the number and ordering of sub-geometries and vertices. 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).

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

Returns:: TRUE if equivalent or FALSE otherwise.

virtual double get_Area() const override

Returns the area enclosed.

This method is built on the SFCGAL library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the SFCGAL library, this method will always return -1.0

Returns:: area enclosed by the PolyhedralSurface

virtual double get_GeodesicArea(const OGRSpatialReference *poSRSOverride = nullptr) const override

Get the area of the surface object, considered as a surface on the underlying ellipsoid of the SRS attached to the geometry.

The returned area will always be in square meters, and assumes that polygon edges describe geodesic lines on the ellipsoid.

If the geometry' SRS is not a geographic one, geometries are reprojected to the underlying geographic SRS of the geometry' SRS. OGRSpatialReference::GetDataAxisToSRSAxisMapping() is honored.

For polygons the area is computed as the area of the outer ring less the area of all internal rings.

Note that geometries with circular arcs will be linearized in their original coordinate space first, so the resulting geodesic area will be an approximation.

See also

get_Area() for an alternative method returning areas computed in 2D Cartesian space.

Since: GDAL 3.9

Parameters:: poSRSOverride -- If not null, overrides OGRGeometry::getSpatialReference()
Returns:: the area of the geometry in square meters, or a negative value in case of error.

Returns if this geometry is or has curve geometry.

Returns if a geometry is, contains or may contain a CIRCULARSTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE, CURVEPOLYGON, MULTICURVE or MULTISURFACE.

If bLookForNonLinear is set to TRUE, it will be actually looked if the geometry or its subgeometries are or contain a non-linear geometry in them. In which case, if the method returns TRUE, it means that getLinearGeometry() would return an approximate version of the geometry. Otherwise, getLinearGeometry() would do a conversion, but with just converting container type, like COMPOUNDCURVE -> LINESTRING, MULTICURVE -> MULTILINESTRING or MULTISURFACE -> MULTIPOLYGON, resulting in a "loss-less" conversion.

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

Since: GDAL 2.0

Parameters:: bLookForNonLinear -- set it to TRUE to check if the geometry is or contains a CIRCULARSTRING.
Returns:: TRUE if this geometry is or has curve geometry.

Returns:: OGRErr OGRERR_NONE if the polygon is successfully added

OGRErr addGeometryDirectly(OGRGeometry *poNewGeom)

Add a geometry directly to the container.

Ownership of the passed geometry is taken by the container rather than cloning as addCurve() does, but only if the method is successful. If the method fails, ownership still belongs to the caller.

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.

OGRErr addGeometry(std::unique_ptr<OGRGeometry> poNewGeom)

Add a geometry directly to the container.

There is no SFCOM analog to this method.

Parameters:: i -- the index of the geometry to fetch, between 0 and getNumGeometries() - 1.
Returns:: pointer to requested geometry.

const OGRPolygon *getGeometryRef(int i) const

Fetch geometry from container.

virtual void set3D(OGRBoolean bIs3D) override: Set the type as 3D geometry.

virtual void setMeasured(OGRBoolean bIsMeasured) override: Set the type as Measured.

virtual void swapXY() override: Swap x and y coordinates.

OGRErr removeGeometry(int iIndex, int bDelete = TRUE)

Remove a geometry from the container.

Removing a geometry will cause the geometry count to drop by one, and all "higher" geometries will shuffle down one in index.

Parameters:

iGeom -- the index of the geometry to delete. A value of -1 is a special flag meaning that all geometries should be removed.
bDelete -- if TRUE the geometry will be deallocated, otherwise it will not. The default is TRUE as the container is considered to own the geometries in it.

Returns:

OGRERR_NONE if successful, or OGRERR_FAILURE if the index is out of range.

inline virtual void accept(IOGRGeometryVisitor *visitor) override: Accept a visitor.

inline virtual void accept(IOGRConstGeometryVisitor *visitor) const override: Accept a visitor.

virtual void assignSpatialReference(const OGRSpatialReference *poSR) override

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().

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

virtual OGRErr addRingDirectly(OGRCurve *poNewRing) override

Add a ring to a polygon.

If the polygon has no external ring (it is empty) this will be used as the external ring, otherwise it is used as an internal ring. Ownership of the passed ring is assumed by the OGRCurvePolygon, but otherwise this method operates the same as OGRCurvePolygon::AddRing().

This method has no SFCOM analog.

Parameters:: poNewRing -- ring to be added to the polygon.
Returns:: OGRERR_NONE in case of success

inline OGRPolygon *toUpperClass(): Return pointer of this in upper class.

inline const OGRPolygon *toUpperClass() const: Return pointer of this in upper class.

inline virtual void accept(IOGRGeometryVisitor *visitor) override: Accept a visitor.

inline virtual void accept(IOGRConstGeometryVisitor *visitor) const override: Accept a visitor.

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

inline OGRTriangle *getGeometryRef(int i): See OGRPolyhedralSurface::getGeometryRef()

inline const OGRTriangle *getGeometryRef(int i) const: See OGRPolyhedralSurface::getGeometryRef()

virtual OGRErr addGeometry(const OGRGeometry*) override

Add a new geometry to a collection.

Only a POLYGON can be added to a POLYHEDRALSURFACE.

Returns:: OGRErr OGRERR_NONE if the polygon is successfully added

inline OGRPolyhedralSurface *toUpperClass(): Return pointer of this in upper class.

inline const OGRPolyhedralSurface *toUpperClass() const: Return pointer of this in upper class.

inline virtual void accept(IOGRGeometryVisitor *visitor) override: Accept a visitor.

Public Static Functions

static OGRPolyhedralSurface *CastToPolyhedralSurface(OGRTriangulatedSurface *poTS)

Casts the OGRTriangulatedSurface to an OGRPolyhedralSurface.

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

Parameters:: poTS -- the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.
Returns:: new geometry.
