Function Documentation

◆ Vect_delete_line()

int Vect_delete_line ( struct Map_info Map,
off_t  line 
)

Delete existing feature (topological level required)

Note: Topology must be built at level >= GV_BUILD_BASE

A warning is printed on error.

Parameters
Mappointer to Map_info structure
linefeature id (level 2) or feature offset (level 1)
Returns
0 on success
-1 on error

Definition at line 253 of file vector/Vlib/write.c.

◆ Vect_restore_line()

int Vect_restore_line ( struct Map_info Map,
off_t  offset,
off_t  line 
)

Restore previously deleted feature (topological level required)

Note: Topology must be built at level >= GV_BUILD_BASE

A warning is printed on error.

Parameters
Mappointer to Map_info structure
offsetfeature offset to be restored
linefeature id to be restored (used only on level 2)
Returns
0 on success
-1 on error

Definition at line 286 of file vector/Vlib/write.c.

◆ Vect_rewrite_line()

off_t Vect_rewrite_line ( struct Map_info Map,
off_t  line,
int  type,
const struct line_pnts points,
const struct line_cats cats 
)

Rewrites existing feature (topological level required)

Note: Topology must be built at level >= GV_BUILD_BASE

A warning is printed on error.

The number of points or cats or type may change. If necessary, the old feature is deleted and new is written.

Parameters
Mappointer to Map_info structure
linefeature id (level 2) or feature offset (level 1)
typefeature type (GV_POINT, GV_LINE, ...)
pointsfeature geometry
catsfeature categories
Returns
new feature id (on level 2) (or 0 when build level < GV_BUILD_BASE)
offset into file where the feature starts (on level 1)
-1 on error

Definition at line 220 of file vector/Vlib/write.c.

◆ Vect_write_line()

off_t Vect_write_line ( struct Map_info Map,
int  type,
const struct line_pnts points,
const struct line_cats cats 
)

Writes a new feature.

New feature is written to the end of file (in the case of native format). Topological level is not required.

A warning is printed on error.

Parameters
Mappointer to Map_info structure
typefeature type (see dig_defines.h for supported types)
pointspointer to line_pnts structure (feature geometry)
catspointer to line_cats structure (feature categories)
Returns
new feature id (on level 2) (or 0 when build level < GV_BUILD_BASE)
offset into file where the feature starts (on level 1)
-1 on error
