Data Formats

This sample shows how to load and visualize data from the various data formats and web services supported by LuciadRIA. Support is included for GeoJson, GML, KML, OGC 3D Tiles, OGC WFS, OGC WMS, OGC WMTS, LTS, Bing Maps, HERE Maps, Google Maps, HSPC and OpenStreetMap tile services.

Usage

• Use Background data to load some background map tiles data (HERE, Bing, Google) on the map.
• Use Example data to load some example data on the map.
• Use Open File to open a local file (GML, GeoJson) or remote URL (GML, GeoJson, KML).
• Use Connect to ... to connect to any of the listed dataset types on a remote server.
• Drag and drop GML or GeoJson files on the map.

Supported formats

Each format has a sample snippet file on how to load the specific data format. See the files named *DataLoader.js .

GeoJson

Use a GeoJsonCodec in your Store .
Use a FeaturePainter to style your data using properties in the GeoJson file.

GML

GML 3.2 data, that adheres to the Simple Feature profile (SF-0).
Use a GMLCodec in your Store .
Use a FeaturePainter to style your data using properties in the GML file.

KML

OGC KML 2.2 data
Use a KMLModel with a KMLLayer .

Support:

• Features: Placemarks (Points, LineString, LinearRing, Polygon, MultiGeometry), Network Links (links to other KML files), Ground Overlays (images draped on terrain)
• Styles: LineStyle, PolyStyle, IconStyle (except color modulation), LabelStyle
• Other: balloons with static html, labels
• KMZ-files, which are zipped KML-files. Only the top level KML file in the KMZ and its image resources will be processed.

Limitations:

• Cross-Origin requests that do not contain an "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header in the response can not be loaded.
• Styles have to be defined in the KML file itself, they can not be referenced externally.
• Screen Overlay features and Photo Overlay features are not supported.
• No support for KML schemas or extended data.

WFS

Use a WFSFeatureStore with the appropriate codec ( GeoJsonCodec , GMLCodec or a custom codec).
Use a FeaturePainter to style your data using properties in the WFS response.

When using a WFS server, you can optionally specify an OGC filter as your layer query that is passed along in the WFS request.

WFS data is automatically loading using LoadSpatially , but you can override it to LoadEverything .

WFS data can only be loaded if the WFS Server allows cross domain requests.
For more information about setting up CORS for OGC WFS web services in LuciadFusion, see Using WFS in a Rich Internet Application (RIA).

This sample uses https://sampleservices.luciad.com/wfs as WSF service, which runs on a LuciadFusion server. This service is for demonstration purposes only. You can use this service only for simple tests and demonstrations. You should not rely on this service in any way.

WMS

With the Tiled option you can choose whether to retrieve the data as a collection of tiles, or as a single image.

• Tiled WMS is typically faster, but may have less visual quality because images can be rescaled.
  Use a WMSTileSetModel with WMSTileSetLayer .
• Non-tiled WMS will have better visual quality, but a whole new image for the entire screen has to be loaded each time.
  Use a WMSImageModel with WMSImageLayer .
  Non-tiled WMS is not yet supported on a WebGLMap.

This sample has a controller ( FeatureInfoController ) that will highlight a WMS feature on mouse over, and will shows its properties in a balloon on select.

This sample uses https://sampleservices.luciad.com/wms as WMS service, which runs on a LuciadFusion server. This service is for demonstration purposes only. You can use this service only for simple tests and demonstrations. You should not rely on this service in any way.

WMTS

See the sample code WMTSTileSetModel , in combination with RasterTileSetLayer .

This sample uses https://sampleservices.luciad.com/wmts as WMTS service, which runs on a LuciadFusion server. This service is for demonstration purposes only. You can use this service only for simple tests and demonstrations. You should not rely on this service in any way.

Bing Maps

Use BingMapsTileSetModel with RasterTileSetLayer .

HERE Maps

Use HereMapsTileSetModel with RasterTileSetLayer .

Google Maps

Use GoogleMapsTileSetModel with RasterTileSetLayer .

LuciadFusion

Use FusionTileSetModel with RasterTileSetLayer .
You can load imagery data as well as elevation data.
Elevation data has no effect in a 2D map.

This sample uses https://sampleservices.luciad.com/lts as LuciadFusion service, which runs on a LuciadFusion server. This service is for demonstration purposes only. You can use this service only for simple tests and demonstrations. You should not rely on this service in any way.

OGC 3D Tiles

Use OGC3DTilesModel with Tileset3DLayer .
You can load 3D tiled mesh data (In B3DM/GLB/glTF format) as well as Point Cloud data (In PNTS format). The Marseille 3D mesh data used in this sample has been created by Airbus with Airbus Street Factory.
Sometimes data density can be lower or higher than reported. Do not hesitate to manipulate the quality factor to find the right balance between precision and performance.
OGC 3D Tiles is only supported on a WebGL accelerated map.

Google 3D Tiles

Use OGC3DTilesModel with Tileset3DLayer .
You can load Google 3D Tiles mesh data (in the GLB format) if you have a valid Google API key.
Google 3D Tiles is supported on a 3D WebGL accelerated map only. The resolution of the tiles received through the Google Map Tiles API may provide the tiles at a lower resolution than what you can experience on Google products (like Google Earth).

This sample uses https://sampleservices.luciad.com/ogc/3dtiles as OGC 3D Tiles service, which runs on a LuciadFusion server. This service is for demonstration purposes only. You can use this service only for simple tests and demonstrations. You should not rely on this service in any way.

Hexagon Smart Point Cloud (HSPC)

Use HSPCTilesModel with Tileset3DLayer .
You can load point cloud data in the HSPC format with this API.
The default quality factor might not be perfect for every dataset. Do not hesitate to manipulate the quality factor to find the right balance between precision and performance.
HSPC is only supported on a WebGL accelerated map.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) tile services

Use UrlTileSetModel with RasterTileSetLayer .
You can load imagery from OSM tile services with this API.
