    • Method Detail

      • UseExceptions

        public static void UseExceptions()
        Use exceptions instead of error return codes.

        This is the default behavior : 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

        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.

        • --formats: report all format drivers configured.
        • --format [format]: report details of one format driver.
        • --optfile filename: expand an option file into the argument list.
        • --config key value: set system configuration option.
        • --debug [on/off/value]: set debug level.
        • --mempreload dir: preload directory contents into /vsimem
        • --help-general: report detailed help on general options.

        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 );
  }
        Parameters:
        args - the argument list array
        options - currently unused
        Returns:
        updated argument list array.
