Description

This layer can be treated as a list object, where each value is a GvShape.

gview.GvShapes.init(self, name=None, _obj=None, shapefilename=None)

Create a GvShapes

name: name to assign to GvShapes, defaults to None.
shapefilename: name of ESRI shapefile to create from, or None (default) to create an empty container.

gview.GvShapes.append(self, shape)

Add GvShape to GvShapes

shape: GvShape to add.

Returns the id of the newly added shape.

gview.GvShapes.save_to(self, filename, type=0)

Save layer to ESRI Shapefile

Shapefiles can only hold a single geometric type. By default this method will select a type based on the geometry of the first feature (GvShape) written, but it can be overridden with the type argument. The possible values are listed as SHPT_ codes in shapefil.h.

filename: name of file to save to (extension will be automatically supplied)
type: One of the shapefile type codes, or zero to try and auto detect the type of file to create. Zero is the default.

gview.GvData.changed(self)

Emit GvData changed signal.

Send a notification that this data has changed, with a NULL change_info value.

gview.GvData.get_parent(self)

Fetch parent GvData object.

This is typically used to get the underlying GvData on which a GvLayer (which is also a GvData) depends.

gview.GvData.get_projection(self)

Fetch projection, if any.

The projection is normally expressed in OpenGIS Well Known Text format or an empty string if no value is available.

gview.GvData.get_properties(self)

Get GvData properties (attributes) as a dictionary.

The properties are returned as a Python dictionary. Note that changes to this dictionary are not applied back to the GvData.

gview.GvData.get_property(self, name)

Get a GvData property.

name: the key or name of the property being set. Should be a well behaved token (no spaces, equal signs, or colons).

NOTE: Returns None if property does not exist.

gview.GvData.set_projection(self, projection)

Set the projection.

This method won't actually modify the data geometry, only the interpretation of the geometry.

gview.GvData.set_property(self, name, value)

Set a GvData property.

name: the key or name of the property being set. Should be a well behaved token (no spaces, equal signs, or colons).
value: the value to be assigned. Any text is acceptable.
