class MandelbrotPyramid in Tinman.AddOns.Pyramids

sealed class MandelbrotPyramid extends PixelPyramid

Configuration

Config

The configurator object for this type.

public static property Config { get }
type IConfigurator<IPixelPyramid>
value [not-null] The configurator object.

ToConfig

Returns the configuration value that describes this object.

public override method ToConfig ()
type ConfigValue
returns [not-null] The configuration value.
implements Pyramid.ToConfig

Remarks:

All configurable objects need to implement this interface. For simple types, it is preferable to delegate to ToValue.

The returned value may be of type Invalid, which means that this object in its current state cannot be described with the configuration API.

Before returning the resulting configuration value, Cache must be called on it, passing this IConfigurable object as parameter.

Public / Attributes

CanUpdate

Does this map allow updates to its content (i.e. sample data and/or metadata)?

public override property CanUpdate { get }
type bool
value true if the map content can be updated, false if not.
inherited PixelPyramid.CanUpdate

Flags

Additional behaviour flags of the pyramid.

public virtual property Flags { get }
type PyramidFlags
value The pyramid flags.
inherited Pyramid.Flags

FullSize

The size of the bottom-most pyramid level.

public property FullSize { get }
type int32
value [pow2] The pyramid size (width and height), in samples.
inherited Pyramid.FullSize

Georef

Returns georeferencing information.

public override property Georef { get }

overrides Pyramid.Georef

Levels

The number of pyramid levels.

public property Levels { get }
type int32
value [>=1] The number of pyramid levels.
inherited Pyramid.Levels

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

public virtual property LifecycleState { get }
type LifecycleState
value The lifecycle state.
inherited Disposable.LifecycleState

Mandelbrot

public property Mandelbrot { get }
type Mandelbrot
value

Map

Returns a MapInfo value that describes the used map raster.

public property Map { get }
type MapInfo
value The map info value.
inherited Pyramid.Map

OnUpdated

Event for listening to updates made to this pixel pyramid.

public property OnUpdated { get }
type IEventGeneric<PyramidEventArgs>
value [not-null] The event object.
inherited Pyramid.OnUpdated

Remarks:

This event will be fired by the thread that performs the map update.

TilePad

The pad width of this cube pyramid.

public property TilePad { get }
type int32
value [>=0] The pad width.
inherited Pyramid.TilePad

Remarks:

Tile padding is used to avoid color bleeding that will occur when texture samples are filtered at the edge of a pyramid tile (assuming tiles are stored in some kind of texture atlas). The tile pad width gives the number of safety pixels at the that are borrowed from neighbouring pyramid tiles:

      8x8 tile, with a pad of 2:

    0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
0 |###|###|###|###|###|###|###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
1 |###|###|###|###|###|###|###|###|
  +---+--(X)--+---+---+--(X)--+---+
2 |###|###|   |   |   |   |###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3 |###|###|   |   |   |   |###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
4 |###|###|   |   |   |   |###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
5 |###|###|   |   |   |   |###|###|
  +---+--(X)--+---+---+--(X)--+---+
6 |###|###|###|###|###|###|###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 |###|###|###|###|###|###|###|###|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
The point coordinates marked with (X) will be mapped to the corner vertices of each terrain mesh sector. Only the effective region of a padded tile (i.e. the square surrounded by (X)) contains actual data. The padded pixels are sampled from neighbouring source tiles and carry redundant information.

TileSize

The size of a single map tile, in pixels.

public property TileSize { get }
type int32
value [pow2] The tile size.
inherited Pyramid.TileSize

Public / Constructors

MandelbrotPyramid

Creates a new instance of MandelbrotPyramid.

public constructor MandelbrotPyramid (int32 levels = 23)
params levels [1..23] The number of pyramid levels.

Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method AcquireTry ()
type IDisposable
returns this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

Cache

Wraps this pixel pyramid in a memory cache.

[OwnerReturn, OwnerThis]
public virtual method Cache ()
type IPixelPyramid
returns [not-null] The cached map pyramid.
inherited PixelPyramid.Cache

Remarks:

The built-in pixel pyramid operations already make use of the Cache method where applicable, so client code usually does not need to call it.

If the Cache method has already been called on this object, the method silently returns this.

See also:

PyramidsUtil.CacheMemory

Wraps this pixel pyramid in a file cache.

[OwnerReturn, OwnerThis]
public virtual method Cache (PyramidFileCache cache, int32 pyramidId)
type IPixelPyramid
params cache [not-null] The cache to use.
  pyramidId [0..1023] Persistent unique identifier of the pixel pyramid being cached.
returns [not-null] The cached map pyramid.
inherited PixelPyramid.Cache

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method Dispose ()
inherited Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

Flush

Flushes all cached data.

public virtual method Flush ()
inherited Pyramid.Flush

Remarks:

Performing a flush may result in I/O work. Depending on the semantics of the implementing class, this work may need to be wrapped in special Begin / End method calls. See the documentation of the implementing classes for details.

In case this object represents a read-only resource, calling the Flush method has no effect.
