Geo::G...eldDefn(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Geo::GDAL::FFI::GeomFieldDefn — bestie, it's a spatial field in a GDAL feature schema 💖 (and yeah, the manual is Geo::G...eldDefn(3pm), the terminal just got shy and truncated the name, it's giving "couldn't fit in the tab bar" energy 💅)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so. genuinely nothing here. the SYNOPSIS section is empty in the source. no lines, no code, no drama. we move on 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ngl there should usually be no reason to touch this method directly at all — the one exception being the ignore methods, those you can absolutely fiddle with. iykyk.

This object gets created/read from/to the Perl data structure in the CreateLayer method of a dataset, or in the constructor or schema method of FeatureDefn. so it's very much a "born in the background, doing its little job" situation. main character energy but make it infrastructure ⭐

The schema of a GeomFieldDefn is literally this:

(Name, Type, SpatialReference, NotNullable)

four things. no more, no less. periodt 💅

🦋 METHODS 🦋

🌸 SetIgnored

$defn->SetIgnored($arg);

Ignore this field when reading features from a layer. that's the vibe: ghost it, skip it, don't read it, no cap.

and if you want to stop ignoring this field? call this method with a defined but false (0) argument. yes bestie, defined-but-false specifically — 0 is the moment, undefined is not the moment 🙈

🌈 IsIgnored

Is this field ignored when reading features from a layer. that's the whole question. it answers it. that's it, that's the method 🎀
