Finds the first occurrence of an item which meets an extent, query, and additional parameters. Will use RTree if available.
// Java public TGIS_Shape FindFirst( TGIS_Extent _extent, java.lang.String _query, TGIS_Shape _shape, java.lang.String _de9im, bool _skipDeleted );

Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
_extent | TGIS_Extent | extent of items to be found; the layer has been attached to the Viewer then expected _extent units are in a Viewer coordinate space; otherwise expected _extent units are in a Layer coordinate space |
_query | java.lang.String String | query which must be matched by item; closely mimics SQL WHERE clause; for examples you can use 'AGE >= 18'; empty (default) means that no items will match. |
_shape | TGIS_Shape | if not nil, then only shapes matched _de9im matrix with _shape will be found |
_de9im | java.lang.String String | DE-9IM matrix of comparison |
_skipDeleted | bool Boolean | set a skip deleted treatment; by default deleted items will be ignored |
Type | Description |
---|---|
TGIS_Shape | Shape itself or nil. |
See: FindNext
Use this method to find to the first shape in the layer matching given criteria. Using _query param we can narrow the result of the shape searching down to the minimum. This should speed up our process of locating a desired shape.
To locate a shape, simply choose an existing layer and use FindFirst method of with a proper extent and a SQL query as a WHERE clause.
