Function Documentation

def ecohydroworkflowlib.ssurgo.featurequery.getMapunitFeaturesForBoundingBox	(		outputDir,
			bbox,
			mapunitExtended = False,
			tileBbox = False
	)

Query USDA Soil Data Mart for SSURGO Mapunit features with a given bounding box.

     Features will be written to one or more GML files, one file for each bboxTile tile,
     stored in the specified output directory. The filename will be returned as a string.
     Will fetch SSURGO tabular data (see ssurgolib.attributequery.attributeList for a list
     of attributes) and join those data to the features in the GML files(s).

Note

Will silently exit if features already exist.

Parameters

outputDir	String representing the absolute/relative path of the directory into which features should be written
bbox	A dict containing keys: minX, minY, maxX, maxY, srs, where srs='EPSG:4326'
mapunitExtended	True if extended mapunit features should be fetched.
tileBoundingBox	True if bounding box should be tiled if extent exceeds featurequery.MAX_SSURGO_EXTENT

Returns

A list of strings representing the name of the GML file(s) to which the mapunit features were saved.

     @exception IOError if output directory is not a directory
     @exception IOError if output directory is not writable
     @exception Exception if bounding box area is greater than MAX_SSURGO_EXTENT
