SpatialIRIS

SpatialIRIS is a library of basic geographic features -- points, lines and polygons -- that implement common spatial operations, such as those involving distances between points, and containment of a geometry within a polygon.

Many of these operations match those found in PostGIS, but the selection here is much more limited, and there are no spatial indices applied, so they will execute fairly slowly. However, this library brings useful functionality to InterSystems IRIS, such as identifying all patients with 10km of a hospital, or within a zip code or county.

Classes

rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point

A Point is a 0-dimensional geometry that represents a single location in coordinate space.


rsingh.spatialiris.geo.LineString

A LineString is a 1-dimensional line formed by a contiguous sequence of line segments. Each line segment is defined by two points, with the end point of one segment forming the start point of the next segment.


rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Polygon

A Polygon is a 2-dimensional planar region, delimited by an exterior boundary. Each boundary is a LineString for which the first and last points must be equal, and the line must not self-intersect.

Methods

Implemented by all geometry types


AbstractGeometry.dimension()

The topological dimension of this Geometry object -- 0 for POINT, 1 for LINESTRING, 2 for POLYGON.

Returns: %Integer


AbstractGeometry.geometryType()

Returns the type of the geometry -- 'LINESTRING', 'POLYGON', or 'POINT'

Returns: %String


AbstractGeometry.numPoints()

Return the number of points in a geometry

Returns: %Integer


AbstractGeometry.asText()

Returns the OGC Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the geometry/geography

Returns: %String


AbstractGeometry.asGeoJSON()

Returns a geometry as a GeoJSON "feature" (See the GeoJSON specifications RFC 7946).

Returns: %JSON


Implemented by rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point


rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point.pointInsideCircle(centerX As %Float, centerY As %Float, radius As %Float)

Parameters:

  • centerX longitude of circle's center
  • centerY latitude of circle's center
  • radius circle's radius in km

Returns: %Boolean True if the point is inside the circle with center center_x,center_y and radius (in kilometers) radius. Otherwise False.


rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point.distance(rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point)

Computes the minimum 2D Cartesian (planar) distance between two Points, in kilometers

Returns: %Integer distance in km

Implemented by rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Line


startPoint() returns rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point

Returns the first point of a LineString.


endPoint() returns rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Point

Returns the last point of a LineString.

Implemented by rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Polygon


isClosed() returns %Boolean

Returns TRUE if the Polygon's start and end points are coinciden


contains(rsingh.spatialiris.geo.AbstractGeometry) returns %Boolean

Returns TRUE if and only if no points of the passed geometry lie in the exterior of Polygon, and at least one point of the interior of the geometry lies in the interior of Polygon.


intersects(rsingh.spatialiris.geo.AbstractGeometry) returns %Boolean

Returns TRUE if any point of the passed geometry falls within the polygon.


within(rsingh.spatialiris.geo.Polygon) returns %Boolean

Returns TRUE if all points of the passed geometry fall within the polygon.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Installation

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/objectscript-docker-template.git

Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build
  1. Run the IRIS container with your project:
$ docker-compose up -d

How to Test it

Open IRIS terminal:

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris
USER>write ##class(dc.sample.ObjectScript).Test()

Example

TBD

How to start coding

This repository is ready to code in VSCode with ObjectScript plugin. Install VSCode, Docker and ObjectScript plugin and open the folder in VSCode. Open /src/cls/PackageSample/ObjectScript.cls class and try to make changes - it will be compiled in running IRIS docker container. docker_compose

Feel free to delete PackageSample folder and place your ObjectScript classes in a form /src/Package/Classname.cls Read more about folder setup for InterSystems ObjectScript

The script in Installer.cls will import everything you place under /src into IRIS.

What's inside the repository

Dockerfile

The simplest Dockerfile which starts IRIS and imports code from /src folder into it. Use the related docker-compose.yml to easily setup additional parametes like port number and where you map keys and host folders.

.vscode/settings.json

Settings file to let you immediately code in VSCode with VSCode ObjectScript plugin)

.vscode/launch.json

Config file if you want to debug with VSCode ObjectScript
