IlvDisplayPreferences (Perforce JViews 10.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- ilog.views.maps.IlvDisplayPreferences

All Implemented Interfaces:

IlvPersistentObject, Serializable
```
public class IlvDisplayPreferences
extends Object
implements IlvPersistentObject
```
This class defines the methods needed to display preferences (units, formats) for an IlvManager containing cartographic data. Display preferences include :
- The units to use when displaying distances
- The units to use when displaying altitudes
- The IlvCoordinateFormatter use when displaying coordinates
- An indication to use geodetic computation and date line warping when rendering polygons
It is also possible to provide your own altitude and distance formats if the default ones, based on unit abbreviations, are not adequate.
Also, IlvDisplayPreferences provides many utility methods to format coordinates, altitudes and distances anywhere in an application.
Since:

JViews 7.5
