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

public abstract property	CanUpdate { get }
type	bool
value		true if the map content can be updated, false if not.
implements	IMapEntity.CanUpdate

Flags

Additional behaviour flags of the pyramid.

public virtual property	Flags { get }
type	PyramidFlags
value		The pyramid flags.
implements	IPyramidBase.Flags

FullSize

The size of the bottom-most pyramid level.

public property	FullSize { get }

implements	IPyramidBase.FullSize

Georef

Returns georeferencing information.

public virtual property	Georef { get }
type	Raster
value		The georeferencing object or null if no georeferencing is available.
implements	IGeorefInfo.Georef

The number of pyramid levels.

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

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

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

Map

Returns a MapInfo value that describes the used map raster.

public property	Map { get }
type	MapInfo
value		The map info value.
implements	IMapInfo.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.
implements	IPyramidBase.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.
implements	IPyramidBase.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.
implements	IPyramidBase.TileSize

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.

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 ()
implements	IFlushable.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.

GetTileData

Returns the data content of the given map tile.

[ThreadSafe]
public method	GetTileData (PyramidCoords coords, TData data, int32 dataX = 0, int32 dataY = 0)
type	TileDataResult
params	coords		The pyramid tile coords.
	data	[not-null]	The output buffer to use.
	dataX	[>=0]	X-coordinate of top-left corner of output rectangle.
	dataY	[>=0]	Y-coordinate of top-left corner of output rectangle.
returns			The result code.
implements	IPyramid.GetTileData

---

Returns the image pixels of the given map tile.

[ThreadSafe]
public method	GetTileData (CubemapFace face, int32 level, int32 x, int32 y, TData data, int32 dataX = 0, int32 dataY = 0)
type	TileDataResult
params	face		Cubemap face of map tile. Set to NegZ for unprojected map pyramids. Defaults to NegZ.
	level	[>=0]	The pyramid level.
	x		Cubemap face X-coordinate of map tile in level.
	y		Cubemap face Y-coordinate of map tile in level.
	data	[not-null]	The output buffer to use.
	dataX	[>=0]	X-coordinate of top-left corner of output rectangle.
	dataY	[>=0]	Y-coordinate of top-left corner of output rectangle.
returns			The result code.
implements	IPyramid.GetTileData

HasTileData

Returns if there is any data content for the given map tile.

[ThreadSafe]
public method	HasTileData (PyramidCoords coords)
type	bool
params	coords		The pyramid tile coords.
returns			true if data for the given map tile exists, false if not.
implements	IPyramidBase.HasTileData

---

Returns if there is any data content for the given map tile (i.e. Ok or Empty).

[ThreadSafe]
public method	HasTileData (CubemapFace face, int32 level, int32 x, int32 y)
type	bool
params	face		Cubemap face of map tile. Set to NegZ for unprojected map pyramids. Defaults to NegZ.
	level	[>=0]	The pyramid level.
	x		Cubemap face X-coordinate of map tile in level.
	y		Cubemap face Y-coordinate of map tile in level.
returns			true if data for the given map tile exists, false if not.
implements	IPyramidBase.HasTileData

ToConfig

Returns the configuration value that describes this object.

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

UpdateGeoref

Updates georeferencing data of this heightmap.

[ThreadSafe]
public abstract method	UpdateGeoref (Raster georef)
params	georef		The new georeferencing data or null.
implements	IMapEntity.UpdateGeoref

Protected / Methods

DisposeManaged

Disposes the managed resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called at most once per subclass.

protected override method	DisposeManaged ()
overrides	Disposable.DisposeManaged

Remarks:

This method will only be called when a disposable object is explicitly destroyed by user code calling the Dispose method. It will not be called when the object is collected as garbage by the system.

Overriding methods must call the DisposeManaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeManaged method is called before the DisposeUnmanaged method.

DisposeUnmanaged

Disposes the unmanaged resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called exactly once per subclass.

protected virtual method	DisposeUnmanaged ()
inherited	Disposable.DisposeUnmanaged

Remarks:

Overriding methods must call the DisposeUnmanaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeUnmanaged method is called after the DisposeManaged method.
