Method Detail

isEditable

boolean isEditable()
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
Indicates if the TIN can be edited.

Description

This member indicates whether the TIN can be placed in edit mode. If it returns False it means the TIN is write protected and a call to ITinEdit.StartEditing will also return False because it will fail to place the TIN in edit mode.

Due to limitations with the Windows operating system and networks a TIN located across a network may appear to be writeable when it isn't. Because of this, IsEditable may incorrectly return True. If you attempt ITinEdit.StartEditing because of this it will detect the problem, as it tries to open the TIN for write access, and will return False.

boolean startEditing()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException
Initiates edit mode.

Description

StartEditing places the TIN in edit mode. It must be called before any edits can take place. The exception is after using ITinEdit.InitNew which automatically places the TIN in edit mode.

A False value is returned if StartEditing is not successful at opening the TIN for write access. The likely cause for failure would be file permissions.

Returns:
The pbIsSuccessful
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.

stopEditing

boolean stopEditing(boolean bSaveEdits)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException
Terminates edit mode, optionally saving changes to disk.

Description

StopEditing is used to take the TIN out of edit mode. The SaveEdits argument indicates whether edits should be committed to disk.

If SaveEdits is False the TIN will be returned to the state previous to this edit session. All edits will be undone.

If SaveEdits is True edits from this session will be committed to disk. The TIN must already exist on disk before using this option though. If the TIN is new and has yet to be saved to disk use ITinEdit.SaveAs first, then call StopEditing.

initNew

void initNew(IEnvelope pExtent)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException
Initializes a new TIN using the passed extent to define the data area.

Description

The envelope, pExtent, defines the intended 2D domain of the TIN. Data subsequently added to the triangulation should fall within this extent. Four software synthesized nodes (called super nodes) will be used to form an initial triangulation. These will be positioned outside the declared extent. You should be fairly accurate with the extent so the positions of the super nodes is estimated correctly. Providing an unnecessarily large extent would result in the nodes being placed farther away than necessary from the data which can hurt performance and increase the likelihood of precision related issues.

If the envelope has a spatial reference it will be copied and assigned to the TIN. If there is a spatial reference it should have a Z domain/resolution defined. This is particularly true if you will be doing anything with the TIN other than simply adding features to it and saving to disk. Some operations on TIN use the geometry topology engine and these require a z domain when z-aware geometry is involved. Some spatial references are not supported by the prj file saved with a TIN for the sake of compatibility with workstation Arc/INFO. If a spatial reference is used that's not supported by workstation Arc/INFO a call to ITinEdit.SaveAs will exclude the prj file.

InitNew will automatically place the TIN in edit mode as there is an assumption that edits are about to take place.

Parameters:
pPoint - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPoint (in)
tagValue - The tagValue (in)
Returns:

addShapeZ

void addShapeZ(IGeometry pShape,
               int type,
               int tagValue,
               Object pbUseShapeZ)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException
Adds a 3D shape to the TIN.

Description

The input geometry, pShape, needs to have Z values defined for all vertices.

The input shape geometry can be point, multipoint, polyline, or polygon.

The esriTinSurfaceType enumeration indicates how the input geometry is to be incorporated into the TIN. The surface types which are valid depend on the type of geometry being entered. Points can only be entered as mass points. Polylines can be entered as hard or soft breakline types or have their vertices entered as mass points. Polygons can be entered as polygon, line, or mass surface types.

Tags are assigned using the TagValue argument. If the surface feature type is set to mass points the tag is assigned to the resulting TIN nodes. If the surface type is polygonal the tags are assigned to triangles. A value of 0 will result in no tag assignment.

Vertex M values can be substituted for Z's through use of the optional UseShapeZ argument. Its default value is True, causing Z's to be used. If M's are desired set it to False.

This function should not be called if the geometry IsEmpty.

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Parameters:
pShape - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IGeometry (in)
type - A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriTinSurfaceType constant (in)
tagValue - The tagValue (in)
pbUseShapeZ - A Variant (in, optional, pass null if not required)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

addShape

void addShape(IGeometry pShape,
              int type,
              int tagValue,
              Object pZ)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException
Adds a 2D shape to the TIN.

Description

Adds a 2D point, multipoint, polyline, or polygon to the TIN.

The esriTinSurfaceType enumeration indicates how the input geometry is to be incorporated into the TIN. The surface types which are valid depend on the type of geometry being entered. Points can only be entered as mass points. Polylines can be entered as hard or soft breakline types or have their vertices entered as mass points. Polygons can be entered as polygon, line, or mass surface types.

Tags are assigned using the TagValue argument. If the surface feature type is set to mass points the tag is assigned to the resulting TIN nodes. If the surface type is polygonal the tags are assigned to triangles. A value of 0 will result in no tag assignment.

Z values for the shape's vertices are interpolated from the existing state of the TIN before the shape is inserted. The assumption is the existing TIN already has data with Z's. Typically 2D shapes are added to a TIN after all available 3D shapes.

You can use the optional Z argument to provide a constant height for the shape. In this case no interpolation for the shape takes place.

This function should not be called if the geometry IsEmpty.

Parameters:
pShape - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IGeometry (in)
type - A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriTinSurfaceType constant (in)
tagValue - The tagValue (in)
pZ - A Variant (in, optional, pass null if not required)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

addFromFeatureClass

void addFromFeatureClass(IFeatureClass pFeatureClass,
                         IQueryFilter pFilter,
                         IField pHeightField,
                         IField pTagValueField,
                         int type,
                         Object pbUseShapeZ)
                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException
Adds features from a feature class to the TIN.

Description

Adds shapes from the input featureclass into the triangulation.

FeatureClass provides the input geometry to be added to the TIN.

Filter is a QueryFilter that may be used to select a subset of features. This can be set to NULL ('Nothing' in VB) if all the shapes in the featureclass are to be used.

HeightField is a Field that indicates where the heights for the shapes come from. If the shape geometry is 3D, and that's what you want to use, pass the Shape field of the featureclass. Otherwise, a numeric field can be used. If the heights for the features should be interpolated from the existing state of the TIN, assuming some features with heights had been previously added, you can pass a NULL pointer ('Nothing' in VB) to indicate the features do not have Z values of their own.

TagValueField is a numeric field used to assign tags to corresponding elements in the TIN. Tag values are signed long integers that are assigned to nodes, edges, or triangles. They have user defined meaning (e.g. node accuracy, land cover, etc.). Node and triangle tags are saved to disk with the TIN. At present, edge tags are only stored in memory and are lost when the TIN is saved. If no tag values are to be used pass a NULL pointer ('Nothing' in VB).

Type is an esriTinSurfaceType. This indicates how the input feature geometry is incorporated into the triangulation.

UseShapeZ is a boolean used to indicate whether geometry Z's or M's should be used in the case the input geometry has both and the height field is set the the shape field. The default is TRUE, the Z's will be used rather than the M's. Set this to FALSE if the M's should be used for height.

Notes:

If records containing NULL shapes or numeric fields with NULL Z values are encountered the triangulation process will skip them and continue. If this happens AddFromFeatureClass will raise the error E_TIN_NULL_FIELD_VALUE when it's finished. Therefore, all valid data in the feature class gets triangulated but a note is made, in the form of a specific error, to let the caller know one or more records were skipped. The caller then has the choice of using the resulting TIN or not.

                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException
Adds pixels from a pixel block to the TIN.

Description

This function is used in raster to TIN conversion. It's a recursive process that adds pixel cell centers from the PixelBlock as nodes to the TIN. The process stops once a specified vertical accuracy has been achieved, or a maximum number of nodes have been added.

xOrigin and yOrigin represent the upper left cell center of the PixelBlock in map space coordinates.

xPixelSize and yPixelSize represent the x and y cell dimensions (cellsize) of the PixelBlock.

valueForNoData is the value used for cells in the PixelBlock to indicate NoData. Cells with this value will be excluded.

block is the PixelBlock itself.

zTolerance is a vertical accuracy parameter. The resulting TIN's height field will not differ from the input PixelBlock's by more than this value. A smaller zTolerance produces a TIN that is more accurate.

[MaxPoints] is an optional long integer. The process will halt if the total number of nodes in the TIN, not just just those added by this function, has been reached without the zTolerance being achieved. For performance reasons [MaxPoints] is approximate so it's possible the resulting TIN may be slightly larger than the value specified.

[bToleranceAchieved] is a boolean that is set by the function if the [MaxPoints] argument was specified. It is set to TRUE if the zTolerance was met or FALSE if the function had to quit as a result of reaching [MaxPoints] without meeting the tolerance.
