class CanvasFactory in Tinman.Terrain.Tools

Abstract base class for ICanvasFactory implementations.

abstract class CanvasFactory extends Disposable
  implements ICanvasFactory
  base of CanvasFactoryHeightmap
  CanvasFactoryPixelPyramid

Configuration

Config

The configurator object for this type.

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

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.

Public / Attributes

BlockSize

Size of a canvas block.

public property BlockSize { get set }
type int32
value [>0] The block size, in canvas raster samples.
implements ICanvasBlockSize.BlockSize

Remarks:

For PixelIsPoint semantics, the block size is a power of two plus one. For PixelIsArea semantics, the block size is a power of two.

Canvas.BlockCoverage

Georef

Returns georeferencing information.

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

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 abstract property Map { get }
type MapInfo
value The map info value.
implements IMapInfo.Map

SampleLayers

Returns the layers that are defined in the samples returned by GetSample.

public virtual property SampleLayers { get }
type HeightmapLayer
value The sample layers.
implements ICanvasFactory.SampleLayers

SampleRange

Returns the vertical range for the samples returned by GetSample.

public virtual property SampleRange { get }
type VerticalRange
value The sample range, in Metre.
implements ICanvasFactory.SampleRange

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.

CreateCanvas

Creates a new instance of Canvas.

[OwnerReturn]
public abstract method CreateCanvas ([Owner] ICanvasContent content)
type Canvas
params content [not-null] The canvas content object to use.
returns [not-null] The canvas object.
implements ICanvasFactory.CreateCanvas

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.

GetSample

Returns a sample that describes the data that is stored at the given location.

[ThreadSafe]
public virtual method GetSample (CubemapFaceCoordsI coords)
type HeightmapSample
params coords The cubemap face coordinates.
returns An HeightmapSample value that describes the stored data.
implements ICanvasFactory.GetSample

Protected / Constructors

CanvasFactory

Creates a new instance of CanvasFactory.

protected constructor CanvasFactory ()

Protected / Methods

DisposeManaged

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

protected virtual method DisposeManaged ()
inherited 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.
