GeoDjango modell-APILink to this heading
This document explores the details of the GeoDjango Model API. Throughout this section, we’ll be using the following geographic model of a ZIP code and of a Digital Elevation Model as our examples:
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
class Zipcode(models.Model):
code = models.CharField(max_length=5)
poly = models.PolygonField()
class Elevation(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
rast = models.RasterField()
Spatiala fälttyperLink to this heading
Spatiala fält består av en serie geometriska fälttyper och en rasterfälttyp. Var och en av geometrifälttyperna motsvarar OpenGIS Simple Features-specifikationen [1]. Det finns ingen sådan standard för rasterdata.

Alternativ för rumslig fältindelningLink to this heading
Förutom de vanliga Alternativ för fält som finns tillgängliga för Django-modellfält, har spatiala fält följande ytterligare alternativ. Alla är valfria.
sridLink to this heading
- BaseSpatialField.sridLink to this definition
Ställer in SRID [2] (Spatial Reference System Identity) för geometrifältet till det angivna värdet. Standardvärdet är 4326 (även känt som WGS84, enheterna är i grader av longitud och latitud).
Välja en SRIDLink to this heading
Choosing an appropriate SRID for your model is an important decision that the developer should consider carefully. The SRID is an integer specifier that corresponds to the projection system that will be used to interpret the data in the spatial database. [3] Projection systems give the context to the coordinates that specify a location. Although the details of geodesy are beyond the scope of this documentation, the general problem is that the earth is spherical and representations of the earth (e.g., paper maps, web maps) are not.
Most people are familiar with using latitude and longitude to reference a location on the earth’s surface. However, latitude and longitude are angles, not distances. In other words, while the shortest path between two points on a flat surface is a straight line, the shortest path between two points on a curved surface (such as the earth) is an arc of a great circle. [4]
Thus, additional computation is required to obtain distances in planar units (e.g., kilometers and miles). Using a geographic coordinate system may introduce complications for the developer later on. For example, SpatiaLite does not have the capability to perform distance calculations between geometries using geographic coordinate systems, e.g. constructing a query to find all points within 5 miles of a county boundary stored as WGS84. [5]
Portions of the earth’s surface may projected onto a two-dimensional, or Cartesian, plane. Projected coordinate systems are especially convenient for region-specific applications, e.g., if you know that your database will only cover geometries in North Kansas, then you may consider using projection system specific to that region. Moreover, projected coordinate systems are defined in Cartesian units (such as meters or feet), easing distance calculations.

rumsligt_indexLink to this heading
- BaseSpatialField.spatial_indexLink to this definition
Defaults to True. Creates a spatial index for the given geometry
field.
Alternativ för geometrifältLink to this heading
Det finns ytterligare alternativ tillgängliga för Geometry-fält. Alla följande alternativ är valfria.
dimLink to this heading
- GeometryField.dimLink to this definition
This option may be used for customizing the coordinate dimension of the geometry field. By default, it is set to 2, for representing two-dimensional geometries. For spatial backends that support it, it may be set to 3 for three-dimensional support.
geografiLink to this heading
- GeometryField.geographyLink to this definition
If set to True, this option will create a database column of
type geography, rather than geometry. Please refer to the
geography type section below for more
details.
max_geom_collectionsLink to this heading
- GeometryField.max_geom_collectionsLink to this definition
This option is forwarded to the form field generated for this model
field, bounding how many geometry collections may be contained in submitted
WKB/WKT inputs before raising ValueError. Since spatial field
assignments are lazy, it is also checked when values are accessed, e.g. when
saving an instance, but not when read from a database. It defaults to 198.
Geography-typLink to this heading
The geography type provides native support for spatial features represented
with geographic coordinates (e.g., WGS84 longitude/latitude). [6]
Unlike the plane used by a geometry type, the geography type uses a spherical
representation of its data. Distance and measurement operations
performed on a geography column automatically employ great circle arc
calculations and return linear units. In other words, when ST_Distance
is called on two geographies, a value in meters is returned (as opposed
to degrees if called on a geometry column in WGS84).
Eftersom geografiska beräkningar kräver mer matematik är endast en delmängd av PostGIS rumsliga uppslagsord tillgängliga för den geografiska typen. I praktiken innebär detta att utöver distance lookups är endast följande ytterligare spatial lookups tillgängliga för geografiska kolumner:
täckt avtäcken
Om du behöver använda en spatial lookup eller aggregat som inte stöder geografin som indata kan du använda databasfunktionen Cast för att konvertera geografikolumnen till en geometrityp i frågan:
from django.contrib.gis.db.models import PointField
from django.db.models.functions import Cast
Zipcode.objects.annotate(geom=Cast("geography_field", PointField())).filter(
geom__within=poly
)
For more information, the PostGIS documentation contains a helpful section on determining when to use geography data type over geometry data type.
