Interface IRasterDataset

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IRasterDataset2, IRasterDataset3

All Known Implementing Classes:

FunctionRasterDataset, IRasterDatasetProxy, RasterBand, RasterDataset

public interface IRasterDataset
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control a raster dataset.

Superseded By

IRasterDataset3

Remarks

The IRasterDataset interface provides basic access to the properties of a raster dataset such as format, compression type etc. It also allows to create a Raster object of the raster dataset.

Product Availability

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

Method Detail

getFormat

String getFormat()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

The format of this RasterRataset.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The format

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getSensorType

String getSensorType()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

The sensor type used for this RasterDataset.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The sensorType

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getCompressionType

String getCompressionType()
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException

The compression technique applied to this RasterDataset.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The comp

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

createDefaultRaster

IRaster createDefaultRaster()
                            throws IOException,
                                   AutomationException

Creates a raster object with the default properties for this dataset.

Remarks

The CreateDefaultRaster method creates a Raster that has a square cell size and contains only three raster bands if the dataset has more than three bands. The three bands are the default bands used in raster RGB renderer and are determined by the settings for default raster behavior made on the RasterDefaultsEnv object in esriCarto library.
