Detailed Description

read a digital elevation model (DEM) file.

Date:
2000/12/10 20:08:23
Revision:
1.18

vtkDEMReader reads digital elevation files and creates image data. Digital elevation files are produced by the US Geological Survey. A complete description of the DEM file is located at the USGS site. The reader reads the entire dem file and create a vtkImageData that contains a single scalar component that is the elevation in meters. The spacing is also expressed in meters. A number of get methods provide access to fields on the header.

Examples:

Member Function Documentation

void vtkDEMReader::EnlargeOutputUpdateExtents vtkDataObject   data [protected]
 

This method is call by the superclass before an update. It sets the UpdateExtent to the WholeExtent.

void vtkDEMReader::ExecuteInformation   [virtual]
 

Reads the DEM Type A record to compute the extent, origin and spacing of the image data. The number of scalar components is set to 1 and the output scalar type is VTK_FLOAT.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetAccuracyCode   [virtual]
 

Accuracy code for elevations. 0=unknown accuracy

virtual const char* vtkDEMReader::GetClassName   [virtual]
 

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageSource.

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetDEMLevel   [virtual]
 

Code 1=DEM-1, 2=DEM_2, ...

virtual float* vtkDEMReader::GetElevationBounds   [virtual]
 

Minimum and maximum elevation for the DEM. The units in the file are in ElevationUnitOfMeasure. This class converts them to meters.

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetElevationPattern   [virtual]
 

Code 1=regular, 2=random, reserved for future use

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetElevationUnitOfMeasure   [virtual]
 

Defining unit of measure for elevation coordinates throughout the file. 1 = feet, 2 = meters

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetGroundSystem   [virtual]
 

Ground planimetric reference system

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetGroundZone   [virtual]
 

Zone in ground planimetric reference system

virtual float vtkDEMReader::GetLocalRotation   [virtual]
 

Counterclockwise angle (in radians) from the primary axis of the planimetric reference to the primary axis of the DEM local reference system. IGNORED BY THIS IMPLEMENTATION.

virtual char* vtkDEMReader::GetMapLabel   [virtual]
 

An ASCII description of the map

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetPlaneUnitOfMeasure   [virtual]
 

Defining unit of measure for ground planimetric coordinates throughout the file. 0 = radians, 1 = feet, 2 = meters, 3 = arc-seconds.

virtual int vtkDEMReader::GetPolygonSize   [virtual]
 

Number of sides in the polygon which defines the coverage of the DEM file. Set to 4.

virtual int* vtkDEMReader::GetProfileDimension   [virtual]
 

The number of rows and columns in the DEM.

virtual float* vtkDEMReader::GetProjectionParameters   [virtual]
 

Map Projection parameters. All are zero.

virtual float* vtkDEMReader::GetSpatialResolution   [virtual]
 

DEM spatial resolution for x,y,z. Values are expressed in units of resolution. Since elevations are read as integers, this permits fractional elevations.

virtual int vtkDEMReader::IsA const char *    type [virtual]
 

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageSource.

int vtkDEMReader::IsTypeOf const char *    type [static]
 

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageSource.

vtkDEMReader* vtkDEMReader::New   [static]
 

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods.

Reimplemented from vtkImageSource.

void vtkDEMReader::PrintSelf ostream &    os,
vtkIndent    indent
[virtual]
 

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

vtkDEMReader* vtkDEMReader::SafeDownCast vtkObject   o [static]
 

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageSource.

virtual void vtkDEMReader::SetFileName const char *    [virtual]
 

Specify file name of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) file
