Imports a layer from an existing layer.
Syntax
# Python def ImportLayer( self, _layer: TGIS_LayerVector, _extent: TGIS_Extent, _type: TGIS_ShapeType, _scope: str, _truncated: bool ) -> None:
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _layer | TGIS_LayerVector | layer to be imported |
| _extent | TGIS_Extent | starting extent of layer - can't be zero sized |
| _type | TGIS_ShapeType | shape type supported by a layer; if gistypeUnknown is used then import will try to recognize shape on its own; |
| _scope | str | SQL query for which shape will be imported |
| _truncated | bool | if True, then all shapes will be truncated in _extent; if False, only the shape visible in _extent will be imported ; |
Remarks
Remember to assign 'path' property to the layer you want to import from, for proper import of the new layer to a file.
Use this method to import a layer. To do this, simply create a new layer, choose a layer to import from and use ImportLayer method with proper params. See also the opposite method, ExportLayer.
