Shapefile

Handle

Handle(path::AbstractString, [indexpath::AbstractString])

Load a shapefile into GeoInterface compatible objects. This can be plotted with Plots.jl plot.

The Vector of shape object can be accessed with shapes(handle).

Handle may have a known bounding box, which can be retrieved with GeoInterface.bbox.

Rect

A rectangle object to represent the bounding box for other shape file shapes.

Row

Row(geometry, record::DBFTables.Row)

A struct representing a single record in a shapefile.

Property names accessible by row.x are geometry for the geometry object, and the names of the columns in record.

Table

Table(path::AbstractString)
Table(shp::Handle{T}, dbf::DBFTables.Table)

Represents both geometries and their associated fields as a Tables.jl compatible table, where each row is is a an object such as a (Point](@ref), Polyline or Polygon.

The Shapefile.Table constructor can read either a String path to a shapefile, or a Shapefile.Handle and a DBFTables.Table.

Property names accessible by table.x are geometry for the geometry object, and the names of the columns in dbf.

Writer(geoms, tbl = Shapefile.emptytable(geoms), crs = nothing)

Prepared data for writing as shapefile.

• geoms must be an iterator where elements satisfy GeoInterface.isgeometry(x) or ismissing(x).
• tbl must be a Tables.jl table of features associated with the geoms.
• crs can be nothing or something that can be converted to GeoFormatTypes.ESRI.WellKnownText{GeoFormatTypes.CRS}.

Base.iterate(t::Table)

Iterate over the rows of a Shapefile.Table, yielding a Shapefile.Row for each row.

shape(row::Row)

Get the geometry associated with a Row from a shapefile Table.

shapes(t::Table)

Get a vector of the geometries in a shapefile Table, without any metadata.
