conveniance utilities for ogr
Project description
ogr_utils is a small wrapper around the GDAL/ogr module. Basically it is an abstraction layer that adds some convience to reading, writing and manipulating geographic data formats. It provides three modules: geometry, research and copy_helper.
Important! Obviously GDAL is required. As installation can be troublesome it is not including as a requirement in this distribution. Please install manually.
Example one. Save a layer based on a query to a new shapefile:
#!/usr/bin/env python from ogr_utils.copy_helper import CopyHelper c = CopyHelper() f = '/home/.../border_segs.shp' shp =ogr.Open(f,0) lyr = shp.GetLayer() lyr.GetFeatureCount() >>> 13411 c.lyr_2_shp(lyr,f,'line') lyr_sel = shp.ExecuteSQL("select * from 'border_segs' where 'FID' < 100 ") lyr_sel.GetFeatureCount() >>> 100 c.lyr_2_shp(lyr_sel,f,'line')
Example two. Save a set of geo objects to a shapefile (or any other file format supported by ogr):
#!/usr/bin/env python from ogr_utils.geometry import Geometry g = Geometry( [(xy),], [(fieldname_1, type),(fieldname_2, type),], [(value_field_1,...),(value_field_2,...)] ) f = '/home/.../outfile.shp' g.make_points(f)
Example three. Get the geomtry of an evelope by it’s lower left and upper right corner:
#!/usr/bin/env python from ogr_utils.research import Research prof = Research() xy1 = (4.84692,52.3706) xy2 = (4.84397,52.36611) bb = prof.get_bounding_box( [xy1,xy2] )
