The majority of formats require the same two steps for visualization on a Lightspeed view. To visualize S101 data:

  1. Decode the data into an ILcdModel using an ILcdModelDecoder.

  2. Create an ILspLayer for the ILcdModel and add it to the ILspView. 

// First create the model
ILcdModelDecoder decoder =
    new TLcdCompositeModelDecoder(TLcdServiceLoader.getInstance(ILcdModelDecoder.class));
ILcdModel model = decoder.decode("path/to/S-101/data/CATALOG.XML");

// Create a layer for the model using the layer builder
ILspLayer layer = TLspS101LayerBuilder.newBuilder()
                                      .model(model)
                                      .build();

// Add the layer to the Lightspeed view (an ILspView)
view.addLayer(layer);

This results in S-101 data styled using the S-101 display settings. See the How to customize the S-101 visualization tutorial for more information on how to customize this styling.

This code snippet uses the TLcdCompositeModelDecoder, initialized with all model decoders available in the service registry.

The model decoder class that is actually responsible for decoding S101 data is the TLcdS101ModelDecoder.
