Method Detail

setLatLonLimits

public void setLatLonLimits(Rectangle2D bbox)

set the limits of Lats and Lons; without this, the getData() will return ALL the points in the file. When this method is used, the feature of the McIDAS map files that has the lat/lon extremes for each line segment will be used to coarsely cull points out of the returned VisAD UnionSet.

This may be used along with any other domain-setting routine, but should be invoked last. Alternatively, pass in the bounding box in the constructor.

Parameters:

bbox - Rectangle2D representing the bounding box

setLatLonLimits

public void setLatLonLimits(float latmin,
                            float latmax,
                            float lonmin,
                            float lonmax)

set the limits of Lats and Lons; without this, the getData() will return ALL the points in the file. When this method is used, the feature of the McIDAS map files that has the lat/lon extremes for each line segment will be used to coarsely cull points out of the returned VisAD UnionSet.

This may be used along with any other domain-setting routine, but should be invoked last.

Parameters:

latmin - the minimum Latitude value

latmax - the maximum Latitude value

lonmin - the minimum Longitude value (-180 -- 180)

lonmax - the maximum Longitude value

setDomainSet

public void setDomainSet(Linear2DSet domainSet)
                  throws VisADException

Using the domain_set of the FlatField of an image (when one is available), extract the elements required. This implies that a CoordinateSystem is available with a reference coordinate of Latitude,Longitude.

Parameters:

domainSet - The VisAD Linear2DSet domain_set used when the associated image FlatField was created

Throws:

VisADException - necessary VisAD object cannot be created

setCoordinateSystem

public void setCoordinateSystem(CoordinateSystem cs,
                                int numEles,
                                int numLines,
                                RealTupleType domain)
                         throws VisADException

Define a CoordinateSystem whose fromReference() will be used to transform points from latitude/longitude into element,line.

Parameters:

cs - is that

numEles - is number of elements (x)

numLines - is number of lines (y)

domain - is the desired domain (ordered element, line)

Throws:

VisADException - a necessary VisAD object could not be created

doByLatLon

public void doByLatLon()

Set the MathType of the UnionSet to be lat/lon.

getData

public UnionSet getData()

getData creates a VisAD UnionSet type with the MathType specified thru one of the other methods. By default, the MathType is a RealTupleType of Latitude,Longitude, so the UnionSet (a union of Gridded2DSets) will have lat/lon values. Each Gridded2DSet is a line segment that is supposed to be drawn as a continuous line. This should only be called once after construction.

Returns:

UnionSet of maplines or null if there are no maplines in the domain of the display.

setEastPositive

public void setEastPositive(boolean value)

set the sign of longitude convention. By default, the longitudes are positive eastward

Parameters:

value - set to true for positive eastward, set to false for positive westward.

isEastPositive

public boolean isEastPositive()

determine what sign convention for longitude is currently being used.

Returns:

true if the convention is positive eastward; false if positive westward.
