Add rasters and feature tables from a geopackage to a map.

Use case

The OGC GeoPackage specification defines an open standard for sharing raster and vector data. You may want to use GeoPackage files to support file-based sharing of geographic data.

How to use the sample

When the sample loads, the feature tables and rasters from the GeoPackage will be shown on the map.

How it works

  1. Create a GeoPackage from a named bundle resource using AGSGeoPackage.init(name:).
  2. Load the GeoPackage using AGSGeoPackage.load(completion:).
  3. Iterate through available rasters, exposed by AGSGeoPackage.geoPackageRasters.
    • For each raster, create an AGSRasterLayer object and add it to the map.
  4. Iterate through available feature tables, exposed by AGSGeoPackage.geoPackageFeatureTables.
    • For each feature table, create an AGSFeatureLayer object and add it to the map.

Relevant API

  • AGSGeoPackage
  • AGSGeoPackage.geoPackageFeatureTables
  • AGSGeoPackage.geoPackageRasters
  • AGSGeoPackageFeatureTable
  • AGSGeoPackageRaster

Offline data

The Aurora Colorado GeoPackage holds datasets that cover Aurora, Colorado.

About the data

This sample features a GeoPackage with datasets that cover Aurora, Colorado: Public art (points), Bike trails (lines), Subdivisions (polygons), Airport noise (raster), and liquor license density (raster).

Additional information

GeoPackage uses a single SQLite file (.gpkg) that conforms to the OGC GeoPackage Standard. You can create a GeoPackage file (.gpkg) from your own data using the create a SQLite Database tool in ArcGIS Pro.
