[mapguide-users] OGR / GEOS selection problem

Thu Jun 14 10:45:23 EDT 2007

If you send me the patched file, I can submit it. 

I will also disable the skewing fix at the same time.

Ok, I fixed it for all providers, using the GDal / GEOS intersects
operation.
Update OGRFeatureReader::ReadNext(...) to:

bool OgrFeatureReader::ReadNext()
{    
    m_sprops.clear();

    if (m_poFeature)
        OGRFeature::DestroyFeature(m_poFeature);

    m_poFeature = m_poLayer->GetNextFeature();

    //Ugly hack to fix broken providers, with BBOX only testing
    OGRGeometry* spfilter = m_poLayer->GetSpatialFilter();
    if (spfilter != NULL)
        while (m_poFeature != NULL && m_poFeature->GetGeometryRef() !=
NULL && !spfilter->Intersects(m_poFeature->GetGeometryRef()))
        {
            OGRFeature::DestroyFeature(m_poFeature);
            m_poFeature = m_poLayer->GetNextFeature();
        }

    return (m_poFeature != NULL);
}

That will work for all the providers, but has a slight overhead as the
features are transfered from the datasource (eg. database) before
testing.
Fixing the OGR provider would be better, but out of the MapGuide scope.

Also, the skewing fix can now be disabled, but does no harm.

While I was testing the PostGIS provider, I got annoyed with the lack of
error messages.
You can update the code to this:

FdoConnectionState OgrConnection::Open()
{
    const wchar_t* dsw = GetProperty(PROP_NAME_DATASOURCE);
    bool readonly = _wcsnicmp(GetProperty(PROP_NAME_READONLY), L"TRUE",
4) == 0;

    W2A(dsw);

    printf ("Attempt OGR connect to %s \n", mbdsw);
    printf ("ReadOnly %d\n", (int)readonly);

    m_poDS = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open(mbdsw, !readonly);
    if( m_poDS == NULL )
    {
        std::string str = "Connect failed: "; 
        str.append(CPLGetLastErrorMsg());
        const char* x = str.c_str();
        A2W(x);
        throw FdoConnectionException::Create(wx);
    }

    m_connState = FdoConnectionState_Open;

    return m_connState;
}

This will give the user a slight hint about the problem (eg, bad
connectionstring, username etc.)

Sure, but the actual geometric operation is what matters. If it ends up
doing a BBOX, it would not be right. It needs to do Intersects.

It should not work if you make a polygon selection.
Tooltip and Click sends a square, so the envelope of the filter should
be the same as the filter

Wait, from this it looks like it takes the BBOX (envelope) of the filter
and sends that to PostGIS...? That may explain things.

	It is actually forwarded to PostGIS:

	        OGREnvelope  sEnvelope;

	        m_poFilterGeom->getEnvelope( &sEnvelope );
	        osWHERE.Printf("WHERE %s && SetSRID('BOX3D(%.12f %.12f,
%.12f %.12f)'::box3d,%d) ",
	                       pszGeomColumn,
	                       sEnvelope.MinX, sEnvelope.MinY,
	                       sEnvelope.MaxX, sEnvelope.MaxY,
	                       nSRSId );

	Not too good with PostGIS syntax, but since the m_poFilterGeom
is the filter used (a small square in this case) it reads:
	"Select from geometry_column where features are within the bbox
of the filer"

	Which should be quite ok, unless they have a similar idea of
optimizing this to a BBOX test, as OGR does.

	Anyway, I can confirm that Traians fix works with MapInfo TAB
files, but NOT with PostGIS :(

	To put test data into PostGres I use the tool that comes with it
that
	can import SHP files into the database.

	I think it's called shp2pgsql.

	I tried it with MapInfo TAB files, and it works fine.

	Maciej, can you post an SQL dump of one of the PostGIS tables?

	I have installed PostGIS on my machine for testing, but I have
no data, 
	and no luck getting Fdo2Fdo working with FDO OGR.

		Well, I only tried it with SHP files and am pretty sure
it fixed the

a polygon

	that

PostGIS? In

	that

Anybody know the
