Detailed Description

Represents a vector layer which manages a vector based data sets.

The QgsVectorLayer is instantiated by specifying the name of a data provider, such as postgres or wfs, and url defining the specific data set to connect to. The vector layer constructor in turn instantiates a QgsVectorDataProvider subclass corresponding to the provider type, and passes it the url. The data provider connects to the data source.

The QgsVectorLayer provides a common interface to the different data types. It also manages editing transactions.

Sample usage of the QgsVectorLayer class:

QString uri = "point?crs=epsg:4326&field=id:integer";
QgsVectorLayer *scratchLayer = new QgsVectorLayer(uri, "Scratch point layer", "memory");

The main data providers supported by QGIS are listed below.

Vector data providers

Memory data providerType (memory)

The memory data provider is used to construct in memory data, for example scratch data or data generated from spatial operations such as contouring. There is no inherent persistent storage of the data. The data source uri is constructed. The url specifies the geometry type ("point", "linestring", "polygon", "multipoint","multilinestring","multipolygon"), optionally followed by url parameters as follows:

An example url is "Point?crs=epsg:4326&field=id:integer&field=name:string(20)&index=yes"

OGR data provider (ogr)

Accesses data using the OGR drivers (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html). The url is the OGR connection string. A wide variety of data formats can be accessed using this driver, including file based formats used by many GIS systems, database formats, and web services. Some of these formats are also supported by custom data providers listed below.

Spatialite data provider (spatialite)

Access data in a spatialite database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceURI class.

Postgresql data provider (postgres)

Connects to a postgresql database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceURI class.

Microsoft SQL server data provider (mssql)

Connects to a Microsoft SQL server database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceURI class.

SQL Anywhere data provider (sqlanywhere)

Connects to an SQLanywhere database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceURI class.

WFS (web feature service) data provider (wfs)

Used to access data provided by a web feature service.

The url can be a HTTP url to a WFS 1.0.0 server or a GML2 data file path. Examples are http://foobar/wfs or /foo/bar/file.gml

If a GML2 file path is provided the driver will attempt to read the schema from a file in the same directory with the same basename + “.xsd”. This xsd file must be in the same format as a WFS describe feature type response. If no xsd file is provide then the driver will attempt to guess the attribute types from the file.

In the case of a HTTP URL the ‘FILTER’ query string parameter can be used to filter the WFS feature type. The ‘FILTER’ key value can either be a QGIS expression or an OGC XML filter. If the value is set to a QGIS expression the driver will turn it into OGC XML filter before passing it to the WFS server. Beware the QGIS expression filter only supports” =, != ,<,> ,<= ,>= ,AND ,OR ,NOT, LIKE, IS NULL” attribute operators, “BBOX, Disjoint, Intersects, Touches, Crosses, Contains, Overlaps, Within” spatial binary operators and the QGIS local “geomFromWKT, geomFromGML” geometry constructor functions.

Also note:

Delimited text file data provider (delimitedtext)

Accesses data in a delimited text file, for example CSV files generated by spreadsheets. The contents of the file are split into columns based on specified delimiter characters. Each record may be represented spatially either by an X and Y coordinate column, or by a WKT (well known text) formatted columns.

The url defines the filename, the formatting options (how the text in the file is divided into data fields, and which fields contain the X,Y coordinates or WKT text definition. The options are specified as url query items.

At its simplest the url can just be the filename, in which case it will be loaded as a CSV formatted file.

The url may include the following items:

-subsetIndex=(yes|no)

Determines whether the provider generates an index to improve the efficiency of subsets. The default is yes

-spatialIndex=(yes|no)

Determines whether the provider generates a spatial index. The default is no.

-watchFile=(yes|no)

Defines whether the file will be monitored for changes. The default is to monitor for changes.

GPX data provider (gpx)

Provider reads tracks, routes, and waypoints from a GPX file. The url defines the name of the file, and the type of data to retrieve from it ("track", "route", or "waypoint").

An example url is "/home/user/data/holiday.gpx?type=route"

Grass data provider (grass)

Provider to display vector data in a GRASS GIS layer.

bool QgsVectorLayer::commitChanges ( )

Attempts to commit any changes to disk.

Returns the result of the attempt. If a commit fails, the in-memory changes are left alone.

This allows editing to continue if the commit failed on e.g. a disallowed value in a Postgres database - the user can re-edit and try again.

The commits occur in distinct stages, (add attributes, add features, change attribute values, change geometries, delete features, delete attributes) so if a stage fails, it's difficult to roll back cleanly. Therefore any error message also includes which stage failed so that the user has some chance of repairing the damage cleanly.
