QGIS二次开发中 Type转GeometryType

问题

在QGIS二次开发中，QgsWkbTypes这一类下，有Type和GeometryType这两类，其中Typey这类使用 wkbType() 来调出，GeometryType这一类用geometryType()来调出。
我们打开<qgsvectorlayer.h>可以看到 两者是分开的：

• 如果想使用wkbType()可以使用语句:

  vectorLayer->wkbType() ;

• 如果想使用geometryType()可以使用语句:

  vectorLayer->geometryType() ;

差异性

那么两者差在哪里呢？ 为什么非得把两者分开表述？ 我们可以进一步看源代码。
我们打开<qgswkbtypes.h>，可以看到对Type类型的枚举，里面大大小小有几十种类型。同样是点，有point，multiPoint， Point25D 等等。
（关于什么是multiPoint可以看这篇文章）

class CORE_EXPORT QgsWkbTypes
{
    Q_GADGET
  public:

    /**
     * The WKB type describes the number of dimensions a geometry has
     *
     * - Point
     * - LineString
     * - Polygon
     *
     * as well as the number of dimensions for each individual vertex
     *
     * - X (always)
     * - Y (always)
     * - Z (optional)
     * - M (measurement value, optional)
     *
     * it also has values for multi types, collections, unknown geometry,
     * null geometry, no geometry and curve support.
     *
     * These classes of geometry are often used for data sources to
     * communicate what kind of geometry should be expected for a given
     * geometry field. It is also used for tools or algorithms to decide
     * if they should be available for a given geometry type or act in
     * a different mode.
     */
    enum Type
    {
      Unknown = 0,
      Point = 1,
      LineString = 2,
      Polygon = 3,
      Triangle = 17,
      MultiPoint = 4,
      MultiLineString = 5,

      GeometryCollection = 7,
      CircularString = 8,
      CompoundCurve = 9,

      NoGeometry = 100, //attributes only
      PointZ = 1001,

      PolygonZ = 1003,
      TriangleZ = 1017,
      MultiPointZ = 1004,
      MultiLineStringZ = 1005,

      PolygonZM = 3003,
      MultiPointZM = 3004,
      MultiLineStringZM = 3005,
      MultiPolygonZM = 3006,
      GeometryCollectionZM = 3007,
      CircularStringZM = 3008,

      CurvePolygonZM = 3010,
      MultiCurveZM = 3011,
      MultiSurfaceZM = 3012,
      TriangleZM = 3017,
      Point25D = 0x80000001,
      LineString25D,
      Polygon25D,
      MultiPoint25D,
      MultiLineString25D,
      MultiPolygon25D
    };

那有没有办法，将同样是点要素的，归为一类呢？有，这就是geometryType。可以看到它的枚举类型就精简多了！

/**
     * The geometry types are used to group QgsWkbTypes::Type in a
     * coarse way.
     *
     * \see geometryType( QgsWkbTypes::Type )
     */
    enum GeometryType
    {
      PointGeometry,
      LineGeometry,
      PolygonGeometry,
      UnknownGeometry,
      NullGeometry
    };
    Q_ENUM( GeometryType )

它自己也说了geometryType是“Type in a coarse（粗糙） way.”

转换

转换的代码当然是直接if 判断了，但是后来发现更加严格的type分类确实有它的道理，所以这个代码就作废了。记录在这里以备不时之需。

//wkbType转GeometryType
QgsWkbTypes::GeometryType LayerMergeWin::wkbTypeToGeometryType(QgsVectorLayer * layer)
{
	if (layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::Point || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::Point25D || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiPoint || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiPoint25D)
		return QgsWkbTypes::PointGeometry;

	else if (layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::LineString || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::LineString25D || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiLineString || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiLineString25D)
		return QgsWkbTypes::LineGeometry;

	else if (layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::Polygon || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::Polygon25D || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiPolygon || layer->wkbType() == QgsWkbTypes::MultiPolygon25D)
		return QgsWkbTypes::PolygonGeometry;

else return  QgsWkbTypes::UnknownGeometry;
}
