ImportKML()

Argument

Contents

kml_filename

The file name of the file to import

kml_folders

An array of folders that you want to import from the kml file, in the format {"folder1/folder2/folder3", "folder1/folder2/folder4", ...};  if null, the whole file is imported.

out_db_folder

The path for the new geographic files

Option

Type

Contents

Import Points

Boolean

If "True" import points in the KML file; the default is "False"

Import Lines

Boolean

If "True" import lines in the KML file; the default is "False"

Import Areas

Boolean

If "True" import areas in the KML file; the default is "False"

Datum

Integer

The datum code

Label

String

A descriptive label for the geographic file

Layer Name

String

The name of the layer in the geographic file

Median Split

Boolean

If "True" special handling insures that entities which cross the 180 degree longitude line are imported properly; if "False" (the default), no special handling is invoked

NAD Conversion

Array

Input_datum, output_datum, hp_datum_file where input_datum and output are different datums, chosen from "NAD27", "NAD83" or "NAD83HP". hp_datum_file is the name of the high precision conversion file (if NAD83HP is specified).

Node Layer Name

String

The desired name for the endpoint layer (only when importing a line layer)

Optimize

Boolean

Whether to optimize the geographic file automatically after the import; defaults to "True"

Projection

String and Array

A string with the projection name, and an array of projection options; the option {"units","us-ft"} needs to be specified for normal 1927 State Plane Coordinates

Transform

Array

Array indicating the transformation to apply to coordinates in the file. This can have three forms:

1. An array of two or more four-element arrays containing local and world coordinates for control points, for example, {{real localX1, real localY1, real longitude1, real latitude1}, ...}

2. An array of four elements - {real X_multiplier, real Y_multiplier, real X_offset, real Y_offset}

3. Center and Extent transform {c1_x, c1_y, width_1, c2_x, c2_y, width_2}where center is shifted from (c1_x,c1_y) to (c2_x,c2_y), and vector of length width_1 out of c_1 becomes a vector of length width_2 out of c_2.

Error Type

Meaning

NotFound

There is no file by this name; or there are no entities in the files of the desired type

Error

The file is not a valid KML file
