Feature Iterators
Feature iterators are objects used to read cartographic objects. The IlvMapFeatureIterator abstract class allows you to read cartographic data in a uniform way whatever its origin (file, database, map server, and so on).
All the predefined readers supplied with Rogue Wave® Views Maps implement this interface. They can be found in the package format. For a detailed description of these readers, see Predefined Readers.
This section covers the following topics:
*Overview of IlvMapFeatureIterator presents the class and its main methods.
*Writing a New Reader shows how to write a reader for cartographic files of a specific format using an example. Through this example, you will see a basic implementation of a feature iterator that uses most of the methods that the interface provides.
