Class BiUniqueValueRenderer

public class BiUniqueValueRenderer
extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IFeatureRenderer, IBivariateRenderer, ILegendInfo, IPersistStream, IPersist, IExportSupport, Externalizable

A bivariate renderer that combines a unique values renderer with a class breaks renderer (either graduated colors or graduated symbol type symbology).

Description

This is a renderer that produces multivariate maps. Unlike maps that produce only one attribute, or characteristic, of the data, multivariate maps display two or more. This renderer produces a bivariate, meaning two variable, reprsentation of feature data. The first variable is categorical, and is symbolized with a UniqueValueRenderer. The second variable is quantitative and is symbolized with a ClassBreaksRenderer. The univariate representations are combined to produce a composite, bivariate representation.

Remarks

This renderer could be used, for example, to produce a population map of countries for Africa. The landlocked attribute of each country can be represented by two different colors, and the population of each country can be represented by a graduated symbol whose size shows the country's population.

Use IBivariateRenderer::MainRenderer to specify the primary UniqueValueRenderer. Use IBivariateRenderer::VariationRenderer to specify the secondary, ClassBreaksRenderer.

The ClassBreaksRenderer can be used to produce a graduated color or graduated symbol type representation. In the first case, the colors from the main and variation renderer need to be combined. The hue, saturation, value color system is used for this and the hue is taken from the main renderer and the saturation and value are taken from the symbol from the variation renderer. In the second case, the color is taken from the main renderer, and the size is taken from the variation renderer.

BiUniqueValueRenderer

public BiUniqueValueRenderer(Object obj)

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
BiUniqueValueRenderer theBiUniqueValueRenderer = (BiUniqueValueRenderer) obj;

Construct a BiUniqueValueRenderer using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to BiUniqueValueRenderer.

Throws:
IOException - if there are interop problems
Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()
getClsid.


equals

public boolean equals(Object o)
Compare this object with another

Overrides:
equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()
the hashcode for this object

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object

canRender

public boolean canRender(IFeatureClass featClass,
                         IDisplay display)
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException
Indicates if the specified feature class can be rendered on the given display.

Remarks

If the renderer is not applicable to a feature layer, then it can return False in response to a CanRender method. For example, the dot-density renderer is only applicable to polygon feature layers and returns False in response to other feature layers.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
canRender in interface IFeatureRenderer
Parameters:
featClass - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFeatureClass (in)
display - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.display.IDisplay (in)
Returns:
The result
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

prepareFilter

public void prepareFilter(IFeatureClass fc,
                          IQueryFilter queryFilter)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
Prepares the query filter for the rendering process.

Remarks

This method is called prior to the Draw method and gives the renderer a chance to adjust the query filter to incorporate extra constraints. For example, if a particular field is required for the renderer, it would add this field to the filter to ensure it is accessible during the Draw method.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
prepareFilter in interface IFeatureRenderer
Parameters:
fc - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFeatureClass (in)
queryFilter - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IQueryFilter (in)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

draw

public void draw(IFeatureCursor cursor,
                 int drawPhase,
                 IDisplay display,
                 ITrackCancel trackCancel)
          throws IOException,
                 AutomationException
Draws features from the specified cursor on the given display.

Remarks

This method is typically called by the framework to renderer features to a display. This could be in response to a refresh on the map. This method typically iterates through all the features and renders each feature with an appropriate symbol.

An individual feature is typically drawn by calling the Draw method on the feature's IFeatureDraw with the symbol created by the renderer. However, when writing a custom feature renderer you can draw anything you want using a number of different methods. To learn more see the section on writing a custom feature renderer in Extending ArcObjects.

To allow complex rendering to be canceled halfway through a draw, the renderer typically checks the TrackCancel object after each feature or set of features. If a cancel action has occurred, the renderer will exit.

There are three drawing phases: selection, annotation, and geography, and this method can be called by the framework up to three times. With the exception of the selection phase, this method will only be called for a particular draw phase if the call by the framework to RenderPhase returns true for that phase.

Feature renderers typically only draw features during the geography phase, though in some cases features are drawn in the annotation phase. Take for example a case where proportional symbols are drawn for polygon features. The ProportionalSymbolRenderer draws the background fill symbol during the geography phase and the proportionally sized marker symbol during the annotation phase.

Layer or renderer legend information is further formatted for display in ArcMap legends. A renderer can override this formatting by returning a LegendItem for this property. ESRI renderers typically do not return anything for this property. With this configuration, legend formatting becomes a user or developer choice on the legend object.

Indicates if symbols are graduated.

Description

Indicates whether the symbols used for a layer or renderer's legend vary by size.

Remarks

For example the proportional symbol renderer returns True for this property.

You can use this property to distinguish between a layer symbolized with graduated color or graduated symbol type layer symbology. Both of these symbolizations use a ClassBreaksRenderer, but only a graduated symbol symbolization will return True for this property.
