gis.gdal.OGRGeomType

class OGRGeomType(type_input)

This class allows for the representation of an OGR geometry type in any of several ways:

>>> from django.contrib.gis.gdal import OGRGeomType
>>> gt1 = OGRGeomType(3)             # Using an integer for the type
>>> gt2 = OGRGeomType('Polygon')     # Using a string
>>> gt3 = OGRGeomType('POLYGON')     # It's case-insensitive
>>> print(gt1 == 3, gt1 == 'Polygon') # Equivalence works w/non-OGRGeomType objects
True True

name

Returns a short-hand string form of the OGR Geometry type:

>>> gt1.name
'Polygon'

num

Returns the number corresponding to the OGR geometry type:

>>> gt1.num
3

django

Returns the Django field type (a subclass of GeometryField) to use for storing this OGR type, or None if there is no appropriate Django type:

>>> gt1.django
'PolygonField'
