Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvFeatureRenderer::IlvFeatureRenderer ( IlvDisplay *  display, IlBoolean  persistent = IlTrue  )

protected

Constructor.

The constructor of this abstract class is protected.

Parameters

display	The display for which the graphic objects will be created.
persistent	Specifies if the renderer can be saved by the objects that use it.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvFeatureRenderer* IlvFeatureRenderer::copy ( ) const

pure virtual

Copies the object.

Returns

A copy of this IlvFeatureRenderer.

IlvDisplay* IlvFeatureRenderer::getDisplay

(

)

const

Returns the renderer display.

Returns

The renderer display that is used to create the graphic objects.

IlBoolean IlvFeatureRenderer::isPersistent

(

)

const

Checks if the renderer can be saved.

Returns

IlTrue if the renderer can be saved by the objects that use it.

static IlvFeatureRenderer* IlvFeatureRenderer::Load ( IlvInputFile &  file )

static

Loads a renderer from an IlvInputFile.

Parameters

file	The input file.

Returns

An IlvFeatureRenderer or a null pointer if the load operation fails.

virtual IlvGraphic* IlvFeatureRenderer::makeGraphic ( const IlvMapFeature &  feature, const IlvMapInfo &  targetMapInfo, IlvMapsError &  status  ) const

pure virtual

Translates an IlvMapFeature into a graphic object.

If the targetMapInfo has a non-null projection, or a projection that is not an instance of IlvUnknownProjection, the graphic object is projected to the projection system of targetMapInfo. Otherwise, only the map adapter of targetMapInfo is used to convert the feature coordinate into the manager coordinate system.

Parameters

feature	The map feature to be translated.
targetMapInfo	This parameter specifies the projection in which the graphic object must be returned. If this projection is not defined (targetMapInfo.getProjection() is NULL), the graphic object is returned to the projection of the map feature (only the map adapter is used)
status	Is set to an error code if the renderer cannot process the map feature (most of the time, because the renderer does not support the feature geometry, but it can also indicate that a projection error occurred).

Returns

An IlvGraphic or a null pointer if a severe error occurred.

Implemented in IlvDefaultCurveRenderer, IlvDefaultPointRenderer, IlvDefaultFeatureRenderer, IlvDefaultRasterRenderer, IlvIconPointRenderer, IlvDefaultTextRenderer, IlvDefaultAreaRenderer, and IlvDefaultImageRenderer.

void IlvFeatureRenderer::save

(

IlvOutputFile &

file

)

const

Saves the object to an IlvOutputFile.

Parameters

file	The output file.

See Also

Load

virtual void IlvFeatureRenderer::write ( IlvOutputFile &  file ) const

pure virtual

Writes the renderer to an IlvOutputStream.

This function must be reimplemented by the subclasses of IlvFeatureRenderer, but it should not be called directly by the application. For more information about subclassing an IlvFeatureRenderer, refer to the User Manual of Rogue Wave Views Maps.

Parameters

file	The output file.
