Function Documentation

◆ Vect_break_polygons()

void Vect_break_polygons ( struct Map_info Map,
int  type,
struct Map_info Err 
)

Break polygons in vector map.

Breaks lines specified by type in vector map. Points at intersections may be optionally written to error map. Input vector map must be opened on level 2 for update at least on GV_BUILD_BASE.

Function is optimized for closed polygons rings (e.g. imported from OGR) but with clean geometry - adjacent polygons mostly have identical boundary. Function creates database of ALL points in the vector map, and then is looking for those where polygons should be broken. Lines may be broken only at points existing in input vector map!

Parameters
Mapinput map where polygons will be broken
typetype of line to be broken (GV_LINE or GV_BOUNDARY)
Errvector map where points at intersections will be written or NULL
