new¶

 $defn = Geo::GDAL::FFI::FeatureDefn->new({Fields => [...], GeometryType => 'Point'});

Create a new FeatureDefn object.

The named arguments (optional) are the following.

"Name"

Optional; the name for this feature class; default is the empty string.

"Fields"

Optional, a reference to an array of FieldDefn objects or schemas.

"GeometryFields"

Optional, a reference to an array of GeomFieldDefn objects or schemas.

"GeometryType"

Optional, the type for the first geometry field; default is Unknown. Note that this argument is ignored if GeometryFields is given.

"StyleIgnored"

GetSchema¶

Returns the definition as a perl data structure.

GetFieldDefn¶

 my $field_defn = $defn->GetFieldDefn($name);

Get the specified non spatial field object. If the argument is explicitly an integer and not a string, it is taken as the field index.

GetFieldDefns¶

 my @field_defns = $defn->GetFieldDefns;

GetGeomFieldDefn¶

 my $geom_field_defn = $defn->GetGeomFieldDefn($name);

Get the specified spatial field object. If the argument is explicitly an integer and not a string, it is taken as the field index.

GetGeomFieldDefns¶

 my @geom_field_defns = $defn->GetGeomFieldDefns;

SetGeometryIgnored¶

 $defn->SetGeometryIgnored($arg);

Ignore the first geometry field when reading features from a layer. To not ignore the first geometry field call this method with defined but false (0) argument.

IsGeometryIgnored¶

 my $is = $defn->IsGeometryIgnored;

Is the first geometry field ignored when reading features from a layer.
