Interface ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource2

All Known Implementing Classes:

TerrainDataSource

public interface ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource
extends Serializable

Provides access to members associated with embedded data sources.

Description

ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource is used to indicate whether a multipoint data source will be embedded during the terrain build process and whether or not any LAS based (i.e. attributes originating from LAS files) LIDAR attributes will be embedded along with them.

Embedding involves copying the multipoints, and the optional attributes, into the terrain. The terrain becomes their primary container. A reference to the source feature class is not maintained. It may be deleted after the terrain is built.

Notes:

Embedded points falling inside replace polygons will have their persisted heights changed to match the replace value(s) of the polygons.

Embedded points that are (near) coincident in XY will be snapped.

Product Availability

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

Method Summary

String	getName() The name of the embedded data source.
IStringArray	getReservedFields() Returns the names of the database fields associated with the data source that are copied into the terrain.
boolean	isToBeEmbedded() Indicates the terrain will copy the data and not have a dependency on the data source after the terrain is built.
void	setName(String pName) The name of the embedded data source.
void	setReservedFields(IStringArray pFields) Set the names of the database fields associated with the data source that will be copied into the terrain.
void	setToBeEmbedded(boolean pbToBeEmbedded) Indicates the terrain will copy the data and not have a dependency on the data source after the terrain is built.
