GISGetFeaturesByLayer
Get the list of features for a layer. This should probably only be used with the default app layer.
| layerref | number | The ID of a layer, usually -1 for 'default app layer' |
| modcode | string | Only get features from this module (eg. “todo” for tasks) |
| sysref | number | Only get features for this object (used together with modcode), eg. the ID of a task |
| datatype | string | Only get this type of features, usually not set |
Output
| features | collection[ feature ] | A collection of features. |
If layerref is set to -1 then modcode+sysref should be set.
GISGetCustomBaseLayers
Get the list of base layers (background maps and WMS layers).
| changedate | date | Only get baselayers that were changed after this date |
| changetime | time | Only get baselayers that were changed after this time |
Output
| layers | collection[ baselayer ] | A collection of baselayers |
GISCreateUpdateFeatures
Create or update features in a GIS layer.
| features | collection[ feature ] | A collection of features to create/update |
Output
Notice that when reading the features (using e.g. GISGetFeaturesByLayer) the returned features do not include details about the layer ID, but when writing the features (using e.g. GISCreateUpdateFeatures) each feature should include the layer ID in the layerref field.
Map features
See the feature object for more details about the feature object.
Feature types: 1=point, 2=points, 3=text, 11=line, 12=polyline, 21=rectangle, 22=shape, 23=circle, 100=group.
Feature type 1 - point/marker
The data field is a set containing the following name/value pairs:
| name | value type | description |
|---|
| x | float | longitude |
| y | float | latitude |
| marker | string | name of the marker to use, may be ignored |
| text | string | Text to display |
The point/marker should be displayed with a suitable icon/marker and the text from the text field in the feature.
Feature type 12 - polyline/freehand
The data field is a set containing the following name/value pairs:
| name | value type | description |
|---|
| points | collection[xy] | a collection of sets, each containing x and y |
| subtype | string | either “freehand” or “polyline” |
A polyline is created by clicking on the screen once for each point. A freehand line is created by dragging - the app then adds a point a regular intervals.
colour1 is used for the colour of the circle. size is used for the linewidth (in pixels) of the circle.
Feature type 22 - shape
The data field is a set containing the following name/value pairs:
| name | value type | description |
|---|
| points | collection[xy] | a collection of sets, each containing x and y |
colour1 is used for the colour of the shape. size is used for the linewidth (in pixels) of the shape.
JSON encoded example:
{"layerref":83,"datatype":22,"data":{"points":[{"x":27,"y":55},{"x":27.5,"y":55},{"x":27,"y":55.5}]},"colour1":"#ff00ff","size":2}Feature type 23 - circle
The data field is a set containing the following name/value pairs:
| name | value type | description |
|---|
| x | float | longitude |
| y | float | latitude |
| r | float | radius in degrees, eg. x=55 and r=1 means that the circle covers from x=54 to x=56. |
colour1 is used for the colour of the circle. size is used for the linewidth (in pixels) of the circle.
