Weather & Environment StandardsClass TLcdNetCDFMultiBandDataSource

java.lang.Object

com.luciad.format.netcdf.TLcdNetCDFMultiBandDataSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

ILcdDataSource

public class TLcdNetCDFMultiBandDataSource
extends Object
implements ILcdDataSource

A data source to create NetCDF images with multiple bands. It is composed of multiple TLcdNetCDFDataSource instances, which can be retrieved from the model decoder.

Note that the data sources in this TLcdNetCDFMultiBandDataSource should be compatible. If not, the model decoder will throw an exception when trying to decode the data source. Compatible in this case means that the different data sources should represent data with the same bounds, dimensions (x/y/vertical/time), resolution, etc...

Multi-band images are useful for visualizing data as an icon grid. For example: wind data can be represented by an image with 2 bands, one for the x-direction and one for the y-direction. This image can then be painted using ILcdParameterizedIcon objects like TLcdEarthWindIcon, which converts the values in the x-direction and y-direction to a wind-barb on the screen.

Method Detail

getDataSources

public List<TLcdNetCDFDataSource> getDataSources()

Returns the data sources of which this multi band data source is composed. The returned list is unmodifiable.

Returns:
