Detailed Description

A spatial index for QgsFeature objects.

QgsSpatialIndex objects are implicitly shared and can be inexpensively copied.

Note: While the underlying libspatialindex is not thread safe on some platforms, the QgsSpatialIndex class implements its own locks and accordingly, a single QgsSpatialIndex object can safely be used across multiple threads.

See also: QgsSpatialIndexKDBush, which is an optimised non-mutable index for point geometries only.; QgsMeshSpatialIndex, which is for mesh faces

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flag

enum QgsSpatialIndex::Flag

Flags controlling index behavior.

Enumerator
FlagStoreFeatureGeometries	Indicates that the spatial index should also store feature geometries. This requires more memory, but can speed up operations by avoiding additional requests to data providers to fetch matching feature geometries. Additionally, it is required for non-bounding box nearest neighbor searches.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [1/4]

QgsSpatialIndex::QgsSpatialIndex ( QgsSpatialIndex::Flags flags = nullptr )

Constructor for QgsSpatialIndex.

Creates an empty R-tree index.

Definition at line 327 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [2/4]

QgsSpatialIndex::QgsSpatialIndex	(	const QgsFeatureIterator &	fi,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`,
		QgsSpatialIndex::Flags	flags = `nullptr`
	)

explicit

Constructor - creates R-tree and bulk loads it with features from the iterator.

This is much faster approach than creating an empty index and then inserting features one by one.

The optional feedback object can be used to allow cancellation of bulk feature loading. Ownership of feedback is not transferred, and callers must take care that the lifetime of feedback exceeds that of the spatial index construction.

Since: QGIS 2.8

Definition at line 332 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [3/4]

QgsSpatialIndex::QgsSpatialIndex	(	const QgsFeatureSource &	source,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`,
		QgsSpatialIndex::Flags	flags = `nullptr`
	)

explicit

Constructor - creates R-tree and bulk loads it with features from the source.

This is much faster approach than creating an empty index and then inserting features one by one.

The optional feedback object can be used to allow cancellation of bulk feature loading. Ownership of feedback is not transferred, and callers must take care that the lifetime of feedback exceeds that of the spatial index construction.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 337 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [4/4]

QgsSpatialIndex::QgsSpatialIndex ( const QgsSpatialIndex & other )

Copy constructor.

Definition at line 342 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ ~QgsSpatialIndex()

QgsSpatialIndex::~QgsSpatialIndex ( )

override

Destructor finalizes work with spatial index.

Definition at line 347 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addFeature() [1/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::addFeature	(	QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsFeatureSink::Flags	flags = `nullptr`
	)

overridevirtual

Adds a feature to the index.

The flags argument is ignored.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureSink.

Definition at line 389 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ addFeature() [2/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::addFeature	(	QgsFeatureId	id,
		const QgsRectangle &	bounds
	)

Add a feature id to the index with a specified bounding box.

Returns: true if feature was successfully added to index.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 430 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ addFeatures()

bool QgsSpatialIndex::addFeatures	(	QgsFeatureList &	features,
		QgsFeatureSink::Flags	flags = `nullptr`
	)

overridevirtual

Adds a list of features to the index.

The flags argument is ignored.

See also: addFeature()

Implements QgsFeatureSink.

Definition at line 408 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ deleteFeature()

bool QgsSpatialIndex::deleteFeature ( const QgsFeature & feature )

Removes a feature from the index.

Definition at line 460 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ geometry()

QgsGeometry QgsSpatialIndex::geometry ( QgsFeatureId id ) const

Returns the stored geometry for the indexed feature with matching id.

Geometry is only stored if the QgsSpatialIndex was created with the FlagStoreFeatureGeometries flag.

Since: QGIS 3.6

Definition at line 538 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ insertFeature() [1/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::insertFeature ( const QgsFeature & feature )

Adds a feature to the index.

Deprecated:: Use addFeature() instead

Definition at line 419 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ insertFeature() [2/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::insertFeature	(	QgsFeatureId	id,
		const QgsRectangle &	bounds
	)

Add a feature id to the index with a specified bounding box.

Returns: true if feature was successfully added to index.

Deprecated:: Use addFeature() instead

Definition at line 425 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ intersects()

QList< QgsFeatureId > QgsSpatialIndex::intersects ( const QgsRectangle & rectangle ) const

Returns a list of features with a bounding box which intersects the specified rectangle.

Note: The intersection test is performed based on the feature bounding boxes only, so for non-point geometry features it is necessary to manually test the returned features for exact geometry intersection when required.

Definition at line 474 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ nearestNeighbor() [1/2]

QList< QgsFeatureId > QgsSpatialIndex::nearestNeighbor	(	const QgsPointXY &	point,
		int	neighbors = `1`,
		double	maxDistance = `0`
	)		const

Returns nearest neighbors to a point.

The number of neighbors returned is specified by the neighbors argument.

If the maxDistance argument is greater than 0, then only features within the specified distance of point will be considered.

Note that in some cases the number of returned features may differ from the requested number of neighbors. E.g. if not enough features exist within the maxDistance of the search point. If multiple features are equidistant from the search point then the number of returned feature IDs may exceed neighbors.

Warning: If this QgsSpatialIndex object was not constructed with the FlagStoreFeatureGeometries flag, then the nearest neighbor test is performed based on the feature bounding boxes ONLY, so for non-point geometry features this method is not guaranteed to return the actual closest neighbors.

Definition at line 487 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ nearestNeighbor() [2/2]

QList< QgsFeatureId > QgsSpatialIndex::nearestNeighbor	(	const QgsGeometry &	geometry,
		int	neighbors = `1`,
		double	maxDistance = `0`
	)		const

Returns nearest neighbors to a geometry.

The number of neighbors returned is specified by the neighbors argument.

If the maxDistance argument is greater than 0, then only features within the specified distance of point will be considered.

Note that in some cases the number of returned features may differ from the requested number of neighbors. E.g. if not enough features exist within the maxDistance of the search point. If multiple features are equidistant from the search point then the number of returned feature IDs may exceed neighbors.

Warning: If this QgsSpatialIndex object was not constructed with the FlagStoreFeatureGeometries flag, then the nearest neighbor test is performed based on the feature bounding boxes ONLY, so for non-point geometry features this method is not guaranteed to return the actual closest neighbors.

Since: QGIS 3.8

Definition at line 513 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ operator=()

QgsSpatialIndex & QgsSpatialIndex::operator= ( const QgsSpatialIndex & other )

Implement assignment operator.

Definition at line 351 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ refs()

QAtomicInt QgsSpatialIndex::refs ( ) const

Gets reference count - just for debugging!

Definition at line 544 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.
