isgeotable

Determine if input is geospatial table

Since R2021b

Syntax

tf = isgeotable(A)

Description

tf = isgeotable(A) determines if the input A is a geospatial table. The function returns a logical 1 (true) if A is a geospatial table and a logical 0 (false) otherwise.

A geospatial table is a table or timetable object in which:

• The first variable of the table is called Shape.

• The Shape variable contains geopointshape, geolineshape, geopolyshape, mappointshape, maplineshape, or mappolyshape objects.

For more information about geospatial tables, see Create Geospatial Tables.

Examples

Determine if Input is Geospatial Table

Import a shapefile as a geospatial table. Verify that it is a geospatial table.

GT = readgeotable("concord_roads.shp");
tf = isgeotable(GT)

tf = logical
   1

Convert the geospatial table GT to a table T. The isgeotable function returns false because T is not a geospatial table.

T = geotable2table(GT);
tf = isgeotable(T)

tf = logical
   0
