Display OGC API Feature Collection

View inC++QMLView on GitHubSample viewer app

This sample demonstrates how to display an OGC API feature collection and query features while navigating the map view.

screenshot

Use case

When panning the map view, it is necessary to query the OGC API feature table to obtain additional features within the new visible extent.

How to use the sample

Pan the map and observe how new features are loaded from the OGC API feature service.

How it works

  1. Create an OgcFeatureCollectionTable object using a URL to an OGC API feature service and a collection ID.

  2. Set the feature table's FeatureRequestMode to ManualCache so features requested from the server are cached locally.

  3. Create a FeatureLayer using the feature table and add it to the Map's operationalLayers.

  4. Every time the map view navigation completes:

    i. Create QueryParameters

    ii. Set the parameter's Geometry to the current extent of the map view.

    iii. Set the parameter's SpatialRelationship to Intersects.

    iv. Set the MaxFeatures property to 5000 (some services have a low default value for maximum features).

    v. Call OgcFeatureCollectionTable::PopulateFromService() using the query parameters from the previous steps.

Relevant API

  • OgcFeatureCollectionTable
  • QueryParameters
