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

◆ Flags

Definition at line 79 of file qgsspatialindex.h.

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() [1/5]

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

Constructor for QgsSpatialIndex.

Creates an empty R-tree index.

Definition at line 343 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [2/5]

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

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.

Definition at line 348 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [3/5]

QgsSpatialIndex::QgsSpatialIndex	(	const QgsFeatureIterator &	fi,
		const std::function< bool(const QgsFeature &) > &	callback,
		QgsSpatialIndex::Flags	flags = QgsSpatialIndex::Flags() )

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.

This construct and bulk load variant allows for a callback function to be specified, which is called for each added feature in turn. It allows for bulk spatial index load along with other feature based operations on a single iteration through a feature source. If callback returns false, the load and iteration is canceled.

Note: Not available in Python bindings

◆ QgsSpatialIndex() [4/5]

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

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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addFeature() [1/2]

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

overridevirtual

Adds a feature to the index.

The flags argument is ignored.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 405 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ addFeature() [2/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::addFeature	(	QgsFeatureId	id,

◆ addFeatures() [1/2]

bool QgsFeatureSink::addFeatures	(	QgsFeatureIterator &	iterator,
		QgsFeatureSink::Flags	flags = QgsFeatureSink::Flags() )

virtual

Adds all features from the specified iterator to the sink.

Feature addition behavior is controlled by the specified flags.

Returns: true if all features were added successfully, or false if any feature could not be added

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureSink.

Definition at line 108 of file qgsfeaturesink.cpp.

◆ addFeatures() [2/2]

Implements QgsFeatureSink.

Definition at line 424 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ deleteFeature() [1/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::deleteFeature ( const QgsFeature & feature )

Removes a feature from the index.

Definition at line 476 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ deleteFeature() [2/2]

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

Removes a feature from the index by id and bounds.

Since: QGIS 3.36

Definition at line 490 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 565 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ insertFeature() [1/2]

bool QgsSpatialIndex::insertFeature ( const QgsFeature & feature )

Adds a feature to the index.

Deprecated: QGIS 3.40. Use addFeature() instead.

Definition at line 435 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: QGIS 3.40. Use addFeature() instead.

Definition at line 441 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 501 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ nearestNeighbor() [1/2]

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 540 of file qgsspatialindex.cpp.

◆ nearestNeighbor() [2/2]

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.
