Spatial Lookups
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Just like when using the :ref:`queryset-api`, interaction
|
|
with ``GeoQuerySet`` by :ref:`chaining filters <chaining-filters>`.
|
|
Instead of the regular Django :ref:`field-lookups`, the
|
|
spatial lookups in this section are available for :class:`GeometryField`.
|
|
|
|
For an introduction, see the :ref:`spatial lookups introduction
|
|
<spatial-lookups-intro>`. For an overview of what lookups are
|
|
compatible with a particular spatial backend, refer to the
|
|
:ref:`spatial lookup compatibility table <spatial-lookup-compatibility>`.

relate
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
|
|
|
|
Tests if the geometry field is spatially related to the lookup geometry by
|
|
the values given in the given pattern. This lookup requires a tuple parameter,
|
|
``(geom, pattern)``; the form of ``pattern`` will depend on the spatial backend:
|
|
|
|
PostGIS & SpatiaLite
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
On these spatial backends the intersection pattern is a string comprising
|
|
nine characters, which define intersections between the interior, boundary,
|
|
and exterior of the geometry field and the lookup geometry.
|
|
The intersection pattern matrix may only use the following characters:
|
|
``1``, ``2``, ``T``, ``F``, or ``*``. This lookup type allows users to "fine tune"
|
|
a specific geometric relationship consistent with the DE-9IM model. [#fnde9im]_
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
# A tuple lookup parameter is used to specify the geometry and
|
|
# the intersection pattern (the pattern here is for 'contains').
|
|
Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__relate=(geom, 'T*T***FF*'))

|
|
SELECT ... WHERE Relate(poly, geom, 'T*T***FF*')
|
|
|
|
Oracle
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Here the relation pattern is comprised at least one of the nine relation
|
|
strings: ``TOUCH``, ``OVERLAPBDYDISJOINT``, ``OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT``,
|
|
``EQUAL``, ``INSIDE``, ``COVEREDBY``, ``CONTAINS``, ``COVERS``, ``ON``, and
|
|
``ANYINTERACT``. Multiple strings may be combined with the logical Boolean
|
|
operator OR, for example, ``'inside+touch'``. [#fnsdorelate]_ The relation
|
|
strings are case-insensitive.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__relate=(geom, 'anyinteract'))

Distance Lookups
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
|
|
|
|
For an overview on performing distance queries, please refer to
|
|
the :ref:`distance queries introduction <distance-queries>`.
|
|
|
|
Distance lookups take the following form::
|
|
|
|
<field>__<distance lookup>=(<geometry>, <distance value>[, 'spheroid'])
|
|
|
|
The value passed into a distance lookup is a tuple; the first two
|
|
values are mandatory, and are the geometry to calculate distances to,
|
|
and a distance value (either a number in units of the field or a
|
|
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object). On every
|
|
distance lookup but :lookup:`dwithin`, an optional
|
|
third element, ``'spheroid'``, may be included to tell GeoDjango
|
|
to use the more accurate spheroid distance calculation functions on
|
|
fields with a geodetic coordinate system (e.g., ``ST_Distance_Spheroid``
|
|
would be used instead of ``ST_Distance_Sphere``).

``GeoQuerySet`` Methods
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.9
|
|
|
|
Using ``GeoQuerySet`` methods is now deprecated in favor of the new
|
|
:doc:`functions`. Albeit a little more verbose, they are much more powerful
|
|
in how it is possible to combine them to build more complex queries.
|
|
|
|
``GeoQuerySet`` methods specify that a spatial operation be performed
|
|
on each spatial operation on each geographic
|
|
field in the queryset and store its output in a new attribute on the model
|
|
(which is generally the name of the ``GeoQuerySet`` method).

There are also aggregate ``GeoQuerySet`` methods which return a single value
|
|
instead of a queryset. This section will describe the API and availability
|
|
of every ``GeoQuerySet`` method available in GeoDjango.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
What methods are available depend on your spatial backend. See
|
|
the :ref:`compatibility table <database-functions-compatibility>`
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
With a few exceptions, the following keyword arguments may be used with all
|
|
``GeoQuerySet`` methods:
|
|
|
|
===================== =====================================================
|
|
Keyword Argument Description
|
|
===================== =====================================================
|
|
``field_name`` By default, ``GeoQuerySet`` methods use the first
|
|
geographic field encountered in the model. This
|
|
keyword should be used to specify another
|
|
geographic field (e.g., ``field_name='point2'``)
|
|
when there are multiple geographic fields in a model.
|
|
|
|
On PostGIS, the ``field_name`` keyword may also be
|
|
used on geometry fields in models that are related
|
|
via a ``ForeignKey`` relation (e.g.,
|
|
``field_name='related__point'``).
|
|
|
|
``model_att`` By default, ``GeoQuerySet`` methods typically attach
|
|
their output in an attribute with the same name as
|
|
the ``GeoQuerySet`` method. Setting this keyword
|
|
with the desired attribute name will override this
|
|
default behavior. For example,
|
|
``qs = Zipcode.objects.centroid(model_att='c')`` will
|
|
attach the centroid of the ``Zipcode`` geometry field
|
|
in a ``c`` attribute on every model rather than in a
|
|
``centroid`` attribute.
|
|
|
|
This keyword is required if
|
|
a method name clashes with an existing
|
|
``GeoQuerySet`` method -- if you wanted to use the
|
|
``area()`` method on model with a ``PolygonField``
|
|
named ``area``, for example.

|
|
.. method:: GeoQuerySet.area(**kwargs)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.9
|
|
|
|
Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Area` function
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
Returns the area of the geographic field in an ``area`` attribute on
|
|
each element of this GeoQuerySet.
|
|
|
|
``distance``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. method:: GeoQuerySet.distance(geom, **kwargs)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.9
|
|
|
|
Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Distance` function
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
This method takes a geometry as a parameter, and attaches a ``distance``
|
|
attribute to every model in the returned queryset that contains the
|
|
distance (as a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object) to the given geometry.
|
|
|
|
In the following example (taken from the `GeoDjango distance tests`__),
|
|
the distance from the `Tasmanian`__ city of Hobart to every other
|
|
:class:`PointField` in the ``AustraliaCity`` queryset is calculated::
|
|
|
|
>>> pnt = AustraliaCity.objects.get(name='Hobart').point
|
|
>>> for city in AustraliaCity.objects.distance(pnt): print(city.name, city.distance)

.. note::
|
|
|
|
Because the ``distance`` attribute is a
|
|
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object, you can easily express
|
|
the value in the units of your choice. For example, ``city.distance.mi`` is
|
|
the distance value in miles and ``city.distance.km`` is the distance value
|
|
in kilometers. See :doc:`measure` for usage details and the list of
|
|
:ref:`supported_units`.

|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
|
|
|
|
The ``transform`` method transforms the geometry field of a model to the spatial
|
|
reference system specified by the ``srid`` parameter. If no ``srid`` is given,
|
|
then 4326 (WGS84) is used by default.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Unlike other ``GeoQuerySet`` methods, ``transform`` stores its output
|
|
"in-place". In other words, no new attribute for the transformed
|
|
geometry is placed on the models.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
What spatial reference system an integer SRID corresponds to may depend on
|
|
the spatial database used. In other words, the SRID numbers used for Oracle
|
|
are not necessarily the same as those used by PostGIS.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> qs = Zipcode.objects.all().transform() # Transforms to WGS84
|
|
>>> qs = Zipcode.objects.all().transform(32140) # Transforming to "NAD83 / Texas South Central"

|
|
|
|
Shortcut for ``aggregate(Extent3D(<field>))``.
|

``make_line``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. method:: GeoQuerySet.make_line(**kwargs)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.8
|
|
|
|
Use the :class:`MakeLine` aggregate instead.
|
|
|
|
Shortcut for ``aggregate(MakeLine(<field>))``.
|
|
|
|
``unionagg``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. method:: GeoQuerySet.unionagg(**kwargs)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.8
|
|
|
|
Use the :class:`Union` aggregate instead.
|
|
|
|
Shortcut for ``aggregate(Union(<field>))``.
|
|
|
|
Aggregate Functions
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Django provides some GIS-specific aggregate functions. For details on how to
|
|
use these aggregate functions, see :doc:`the topic guide on aggregation
|
|
</topics/db/aggregation>`.

Keyword Argument Description
|
|
===================== =====================================================
|
|
``tolerance`` This keyword is for Oracle only. It is for the
|
|
tolerance value used by the ``SDOAGGRTYPE``
|
|
procedure; the `Oracle documentation`__ has more
|
|
details.

|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models import Extent, Union
|
|
>>> WorldBorder.objects.aggregate(Extent('mpoly'), Union('mpoly'))
|
|
|
|
``Collect``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Collect(geo_field)
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Spatialite (≥3.0)
|
|
|
|
Returns a ``GEOMETRYCOLLECTION`` or a ``MULTI`` geometry object from the geometry
|
|
column. This is analogous to a simplified version of the :class:`Union`
|
|
aggregate, except it can be several orders of magnitude faster than performing
|
|
a union because it simply rolls up geometries into a collection or multi object,
|
|
not caring about dissolving boundaries.
|
|
|
|
``Extent``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Extent(geo_field)
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, Spatialite (≥3.0)
|
|
|
|
Returns the extent of all ``geo_field`` in the ``QuerySet`` as a four-tuple,
|
|
comprising the lower left coordinate and the upper right coordinate.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> qs = City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')).aggregate(Extent('poly'))
|
|
>>> print(qs[poly__extent])
|
|
(-96.8016128540039, 29.7633724212646, -95.3631439208984, 32.782058715820)
|
|
|
|
``Extent3D``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Extent3D(geo_field)
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS
|
|
|
|
Returns the 3D extent of all ``geo_field`` in the ``QuerySet`` as a six-tuple,
|
|
comprising the lower left coordinate and upper right coordinate (each with x, y,
|
|
and z coordinates).
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> qs = City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')).aggregate(Extent3D('poly'))
|
|
>>> print(qs[poly__extent3d])
|
|
(-96.8016128540039, 29.7633724212646, 0, -95.3631439208984, 32.782058715820, 0)
|
|
|
|
``MakeLine``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. class:: MakeLine(geo_field)
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS
|
|
|
|
Returns a ``LineString`` constructed from the point field geometries in the
|
|
``QuerySet``. Currently, ordering the queryset has no effect.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> print(City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')
|
|
... ).aggregate(MakeLine('poly'))[poly__makeline]
|
|
LINESTRING (-95.3631510000000020 29.7633739999999989, -96.8016109999999941 32.7820570000000018)
|
|
|
|
``Union``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Union(geo_field)
|
|
|
|
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
|
|
|
|
This method returns a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.geos.GEOSGeometry` object
|
|
comprising the union of every geometry in the queryset. Please note that use of
|
|
``Union`` is processor intensive and may take a significant amount of time on
|
|
large querysets.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If the computation time for using this method is too expensive, consider
|
|
using :class:`Collect` instead.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> u = Zipcode.objects.aggregate(Union(poly)) # This may take a long time.
|
|
>>> u = Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__within=bbox).aggregate(Union(poly)) # A more sensible approach.
