Saving polygon graphics to shapefile

FatmaAkdemir

We have a map application where user defines several polygons with mouse. We want to save these polygon Graphics (which are obviously created with PolygonBuilder class) to a shapefile. After the application is restarted by user, we want to reload these polygons on to the map. Are there any coding examples regarding this issue?

Hi.

Yes, there are setter and getter for geometry in Feature class: https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/cpp/api-reference/esri-arcgisruntime-feature.html#geometry

Hello,

You can use ShapefileFeatureTable to load and save shapefile. There is an example in samples here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-qt/tree/main/ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_CppSamples/Layers/FeatureLayerShapefile. And you can use addFeature to add feature on table https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-qt/tree/main/ArcGISRuntimeSDKQt_QMLSamples/EditData/AddFeaturesFeatureService

Hi @GuillaumeBelz , thank you for your answer! I looked at those examples and I think they are a little bit different from what I need actually. What I need is to extract polygons from shapefile as a Geometry and add these geometries to a GraphicsOverlay and vice versa. If I extract the geometries as a Feature, is there a way to convert them to Geometry?
