GeoJsonData QML Type

A model to represent, load and save GeoJSON documents. More...

• List of all members, including inherited members
• GeoJsonData is part of QML Maps Plugin.

Properties

• model : QVariant (since 6.7)
• sourceUrl : QUrl (since 6.7)

Methods

• bool addItem(Item item)
• void clear()
• bool open()
• bool openUrl(Url url)
• bool save()
• bool saveAs(Url url)
• void setModelToMapContents(MapView mapItemView)

Detailed Description

The GeoJsonData type reads and writes GeoJson formatted documents. GeoJsonData has functions to open and save the model at the URL set to the sourceUrl property. The loaded model is internally represented by QVariant and binds to the model property. Use Delegates to visualize the items in a view.

GeoJSON Object

The GeoJSON object is a valid JSON object that represents geometry, a feature, or a collection of geometries or features.

A GeoJSON object must be one of these types:

• Point
• MultiPoint
• LineString
• MultiLineString
• Polygon
• MultiPolygon
• GeometryCollection
• Feature
• FeatureCollection

To set the type, bind the type member to a GeoJSON type. The coordinates member can be a type of QGeoShape or a list, depending on the GeoJSON type. The Feature type has an additional geometry and properties member.

A list of the geometric types and their equivalent QVariant representations:

• For a Point object, coordinates pairs with QGeoCircle. For example:

  {
      "type": "Point",
      "coordinates": [11, 60]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type: "Point"
      coordinates: QGeoCircle({11.000, 60.000}, -1)
  }

• For a LineString object, coordinates pairs with QGeoPath. For example:

  {
      "type" : "LineString",
      "coordinates" : [
      [13.5, 43],
      [10.73, 59.92]
      ]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type : "LineString"
      data : QGeoPath([{43.000, 13.500}, {59.920, 10.730}])
  }

• For a Polygon object, coordinates member pairs with QGeoPolygon (holes are possible). The polygon is a linear ring, whose final coordinate is the same as the first coordinate, thereby opening and closing the ring. The bbox member is an optional member and is for setting the area's range, useful for concave boundaries. For more information about the accepted polygon coordinates, read about the Polygon type in the GeoJson specification. For example:

  {
      "type": "Polygon",
      "coordinates": [
          [
              [17.13, 51.11],
              [30.54, 50.42],
              [26.70, 58.36],
              [17.13, 51.11]
          ]
      ],
      "bbox": [50, -50, 10, -10]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type : "Polygon"
      coordinates : QGeoPolygon([{51.110, 17.130}, {50.420,30.540}, {58.360, 26.700}, {51.110, 17.130}])
  }

For the MultiPoint, MultiLineString, and MultiPolygon types, coordinates pairs with a QVariantList. The list element is a QVariantMap containing geometry.

• For a MultiPoint object, coordinates pairs with a list of Point coordinates. For example:

  {
      "type": "MultiPoint",
      "coordinates": [
          [11, 60],
          [5.5, 60.3],
          [5.7, 58.90]
      ]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type : "MultiPoint"
      coordinates : [
          {
              type : "Point"
              coordinates : QGeoCircle({60.000, 11.000}, -1)
          },
          {
              type : "Point"
              coordinates : QGeoCircle({60.300, 5.500}, -1)
          },
          {
              type : "Point"
              coordinates : QGeoCircle({58.900, 5.700}, -1)
          }
          ]
  }

• For a MultiLineString object, coordinates pairs with a list of LineString coordinates. The following GeoJSON object constructs two non-parallel lines:

  {
      "type" : "MultiLineString",
      "coordinates" : [
      [[13.5, 43], [10.73, 59.92]],
      [[9.15, 45], [-3.15, 58.90]]
      ]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type : "MultiLineString"
      coordinates : [
          {
              type : "LineString"
              coordinates : QGeoPath([{45.000, 9.150}, {58.900, -3.150}])
          },
          {
              type : "LineString"
              coordinates : QGeoPath([{43.000, 13.500}, {59.920, 10.730}])
          }
      ]
  }

• For a MultiPolygon type, coordinates pairs with a list of Polygon coordinates. The polygon is a linear ring and the Polygon type has more information about accepted formats. The following GeoJSON object contains a list of two triangles:

  {
      "type" : "MultiPolygon",
      "coordinates" : [
      [
          [[17.13, 51.11],
          [30.54, 50.42],
          [26.74, 58.36],
          [17.13, 51.11]
          ]],
      [
          [[19.84, 41.33],
          [30.45, 49.26],
          [17.07, 50.10],
          [19.84, 41.33]
          ]]
      ]
  }

  This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

  {
      type : "MultiPolygon"
      coordinates : [
          {
              type : "Polygon"
              coordinates : QGeoPolygon([{51.110, 17.130}, {50.420,30.540}, {58.360, 26.740}])
          },
          {
              type : "Polygon"
              coordinates : QGeoPolygon([{41.330, 19.840}, {49.260,30.450}, {50.100, 17.070}])
          }
          ]
  }

The GeometryCollection type is a composition of other geometry types. The value of the geometries member is a QVariantList containing QVariantMaps of various types, including other GeometryCollection types.

For example, the following GeometryCollection type contains several other geometries:

{
    "type" : "GeometryCollection",
    "geometries" : [
        {
            "type" : "MultiPoint",
            "coordinates" : [
                [11,60], [5.5,60.3], [5.7,58.90]
            ]
        },
        {
            "type" : "MultiLineString",
            "coordinates": [
                [[13.5, 43], [10.73, 59.92]],
                [[9.15, 45], [-3.15, 58.90]]
            ]
        },
        {
            "type" : "MultiPolygon",
            "coordinates" : [
                [
                    [
                        [17.13, 51.11],
                        [30.54, 50.42],
                        [26.74, 58.36],
                        [17.13, 51.11]
                    ]
                ],
                [
                    [
                        [19.84, 41.33],
                        [30.45, 49.26],
                        [17.07, 50.10],
                        [19.84, 41.33]
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

{
  type : "GeometryCollection"
  coordinates : [
    {
      type : "MultiPolygon"
      coordinates : [
        {
          type : "Polygon"
          coordinates : QGeoPolygon([{41.330, 19.840}, {49.260, 30.450}, {50.100, 17.070}])
        },
        {
          type : "Polygon"
          coordinates : QGeoPolygon([{51.110, 17.130}, {50.420, 30.540}, {58.360, 26.740}])
        }
      ]
    }
    {
      type : "MultiLineString"
      coordinates : [
        {
          type : "LineString"
          coordinates : QGeoPath([{45.000, 9.150}, {58.900, -3.150}])
        },
        {
          type : "LineString"
          coordinates : QGeoPath([{43.000, 13.500}, {59.920, 10.730}])
        }
      ]
    }
    {
      type : "MultiPoint"
      coordinates : [
        {
          type : Point
          coordinates : QGeoCircle({58.900, 5.700}, -1)
        },
        {
          type : Point
          coordinates : QGeoCircle({60.300, 5.500}, -1)
        },
        {
          type : Point
          coordinates : QGeoCircle({60.000, 11.000}, -1)
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The Feature type contains an additional geometry and properties member. The only way to distinguish a Feature object from other geometrical objects is to check for the existence of a properties node in the QVariantMap object.

For example, the following Feature has a geometry and properties members:

{
    "type": "Feature",
    "id": "Poly",
    "properties": {
        "name": "Poly",
        "text": "This is a Feature with a Polygon",
        "color": "limegreen"
    },
    "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",
        "coordinates": [
            [
                [17.13, 51.11],
                [30.54, 50.42],
                [26.70, 58.36],
                [17.13, 51.11]
            ],
            [
                [23.46, 54.36],
                [20.52, 51.91],
                [28.25, 51.50],
                [26.80, 54.36],
                [23.46, 54.36]
            ]
        ]
    }
}

This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

{
  type : "Polygon"
  data : QGeoPolygon([{51.110, 17.130}, {50.420,30.540}, {58.360, 26.700}, {51.110, 17.130}])
  properties : {text : "This is a Feature with a Polygon"}
}

The FeatureCollection is a composition of Feature objects. THe features member binds to a QVariantList object containing other Feature objects.

For example, the following FeatureCollection has several Features and geometries:

{
    "type" : "FeatureCollection",
    "properties" : {
        "color" : "crimson"
    },
    "features" : [
        {
            "type" : "Feature",
            "id" : "Poly",
            "properties" : {
                "text" : "This is a Feature with a Polygon"
            },
            "geometry" : {
            "type" : "Polygon",
            "coordinates" : [
                [
                    [17.13, 51.11],
                    [30.54, 50.42],
                    [26.70, 58.36],
                    [17.13, 51.11]
                ],
                [
                    [23.46, 54.36],
                    [20.52, 51.91],
                    [28.25, 51.50],
                    [26.80, 54.36],
                    [23.46, 54.36]
                ]
            ]
        }
    },
    {
        "type" : "Feature",
        "id" : "MultiLine",
        "properties" : {
            "text" : "This is a Feature with a MultiLineString",
            "color" : "deepskyblue"
        },
        "geometry" : {
            "type" : "MultiLineString",
            "coordinates" : [
                [[13.5, 43], [10.73, 59.92]],
                [[9.15, 45], [-3.15, 58.90]]
            ]
        }
    }
    ]
}

This GeoJSON object has a corresponding QVariantMap representation:

{
    type: "FeatureCollection"
    data: [{
            type: "MultiLineString"
            data: [{
                type: "LineString"
                data: QGeoPath( [{45.000, 9.150}, {58.900, -3.150}] )
            } {
                type: "LineString"
                data: QGeoPath( [{43.000, 13.500}, {59.920, 10.730}] )
            }]
            properties: { text: "This is a Feature with a MultiLineString" }
        },
        {
            type: "Polygon"
            data: QGeoPolygon(  {51.110, 17.130},
                                {50.420, 30.540},
                                {58.360, 26.700},
                                {51.110, 17.130}
                            )
            properties: { text: "This is a Feature with a Polygon" }
        }
    ]
}
