Paths
SpatialWare also holds geometric features called paths.
A path is a compound spatial object containing one or more of the following: spatialware_line, spatialware_arc, spatialware_ellipse, or spatialware_curve. Paths that are contiguous will be stroked and output as a single line. If a path is not contiguous, all components of paths that are read from SpatialWare are output in separate features. Each feature that was a component of a path will have the following special attributes on them, assisting in aggregating or re-combining the Spatial in the mapping file if necessary.
Attribute Name |
Contents |
spatialware_path_id |
An integer ID given to all members of the same path. All members of different paths will have different IDs; all members within the same path will share this ID. |
spatialware_path_order_id |
This integer ID specifies what place in the path order the feature occupied. This value will be zero for the first feature in a path. |
spatialware_path_centroid_x |
The entire path’s centroid X location. |
spatialware_path_centroid_y |
The entire path’s centroid Y location. |
spatialware_path_centroid_z |
The entire path’s centroid Z location. |
spatialware_path_is_closed |
YES if the path is closed. NO if otherwise. |
