class UrlPatternPyramid in Tinman.Terrain.Pyramids

An IPixelPyramid implementation that can be used to access various web-based tile provider services (e.g. WMTS).

sealed class

UrlPatternPyramid

extends

HttpPyramid

Configuration

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

Bounds

The bounding box for geo-coordinates (only applies for Contiguous).

public property	Bounds { get set }
type	Box2D
value		The bounding box.

Remarks:

Getting a pyramid tilea that is fully outside of the bounding box will return Void.

Defaults to the bounds of the whole pixel pyramid.

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 override sealed property	Flags { get }
type	PyramidFlags
value		The pyramid flags.
inherited	HttpPyramid.Flags

FullSize

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 }
type	Raster
value		The georeferencing object or null if no georeferencing is available.
inherited	HttpPyramid.Georef

Http

The ISimpleHttp object that is used to make HTTP requests.

public property	Http { get }
type	ISimpleHttp
value	[not-null]	The ISimpleHttp object.
inherited	HttpPyramid.Http

Remarks:

The default value is a SimpleHttp instance.

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

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.

Solid

Is this pixel pyramid solid?

public property	Solid { get set }
type	bool
value		true if the pyramid is solid, false if not.
inherited	HttpPyramid.Solid

Remarks:

The HasTileData method of a solid pyramid will always return true, and HEAD requests will not be performed (see Head).

The default value is false.

TileMatrixCount

Returns the number of tile matrices.

public property	TileMatrixCount { get }
type	int32
value	[>=1]	The number of tile matrices.

Remarks:

If the zero-th tile matrix has a size of 1x1, the tile matrix level count is equal to the pyramid level count (see Levels).

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

UrlPatternPyramid

Creates a new instance of UrlPatternPyramid.

public constructor	UrlPatternPyramid (Label pattern, int32 tileSize, int32 levels, UrlPatternMode mode, PyramidFlags flags = PyramidFlags.None, Raster georef = null, [Owner] ISimpleHttp http = null)
params	pattern	[not-null]	The URL pattern to use (see remarks).
	tileSize	[pow2]	The tile size, in pixels.
	levels	[>=1]	The number of pyramid levels (see Levels), which might not be the same as the number of tile matrices (see TileMatrixCount); see TiledNon1x1 for details).
	mode		The URL pattern mode to use.
	flags		The pyramid flags. Defaults to None.
	georef		The georeference of the pyramid. If null, PopularMercator will be used. Defaults to null.
	http		The custom ISimpleHttp object to use. If null, a new instance of SimpleHttp will be used. Defaults to null.

Remarks:

The placeholders of the given URL pattern are interpreted as specified by the chosen UrlPatternMode (see mode parameter):

• Tiled1x1
• TiledNon1x1
• Contiguous

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.
