Function Documentation

◆ Vect__delete()

int Vect__delete ( const char *  map,
int  is_tmp 
)

Delete vector map (internal use only)

Parameters
mapname of vector map to be delete
is_tmpTRUE for temporary maps
Returns
-1 error
0 success

Definition at line 381 of file map.c.

References GMAPSET_MAX, GNAME_MAX, and GPATH_MAX.

Referenced by Vect_delete().

◆ Vect_copy()

int Vect_copy ( const char *  in,
const char *  mapset,
const char *  out 
)

Copy vector map including attribute tables.

Note: Output vector map is overwritten if exists!

Parameters
inname if vector map to be copied
mapsetmapset name where the input map is located
outname for output vector map (new map is created in current mapset)
Returns
-1 error
0 success

Referenced by M_do_copy().

◆ Vect_delete()

int Vect_delete ( const char *  map)

Delete vector map including attribute tables.

Vector map must be located in current mapset.

Parameters
mapname of vector map to be delete
Returns
-1 error
0 success

Definition at line 367 of file map.c.

References FALSE, and Vect__delete().

Referenced by M_do_remove(), and Vect_copy().

◆ Vect_destroy_map_struct()

void Vect_destroy_map_struct ( struct Map_info p)

Frees all memory associated with a Map_info structure, including the structure itself.

Parameters
ppointer to Map_info structure

Definition at line 61 of file map.c.

References G_free().

◆ Vect_new_map_struct()

struct Map_info* Vect_new_map_struct ( void  )

Creates and initializes Map_info structure.

To free allocated memory call Vect_destroy_map_struct().

Returns
pointer to Map_info

Definition at line 41 of file map.c.

References _, G_fatal_error(), G_zero(), malloc(), and NULL.

◆ Vect_rename()

int Vect_rename ( const char *  in,
const char *  out 
)

Rename existing vector map (in the current mapset).

Attribute tables are created in the same database where input tables were stored.

The original format (native/OGR) is used.

Note: Output vector map is overwritten if exists!

Parameters
inname of vector map to be renamed
outname for output vector map
Returns
-1 error
0 success

Definition at line 233 of file map.c.

Referenced by M_do_rename().

◆ Vect_set_category_index_update()

void Vect_set_category_index_update ( struct Map_info Map)

Set category index to be updated when vector is changed.

By default, category index is not updated if vector is changed, this function sets category index update.

WARNING: currently only category for elements is updated not for areas

Parameters
Mapvector map

Definition at line 561 of file map.c.

References Map_info::plus, TRUE, and Plus_head::update_cidx.

◆ Vect_set_release_support()

void Vect_set_release_support ( struct Map_info Map)

Set spatial index to be released when vector is closed.

By default, the memory occupied by spatial index is not released.

Parameters
Mapvector map

Definition at line 545 of file map.c.

References Map_info::plus, Plus_head::release_support, and TRUE.
