Detailed Description

AddInfo layouts describe a set of attributes that can be attached to geometry objects.

Managing attributes, layout and views is a core feature of the DM library. Please refer to the Managing Attributes section for implementation concepts and to the examples section (attribute handling) for further details.

getColumnSemantic()

static ColumnSemantic getColumnSemantic ( const char *  name, bool  caseSensitive = true  )

static

find the semantic enumerator based on a given column name

Returns

corresponding enumerator of ColumnSemantic::null if the given name isn't a predefined colum name

getColumnType()

static ColumnType getColumnType ( const char *  name, bool  caseSensitive = true  )

static

find the type of a predefined column based on a given column name

Returns

corresponding enumerator of ColumnType::count if the given name isn't a predefined colum name
