Interface ILcdEarthAssetCodec

All Known Implementing Classes:
TLcdEarthClippedRasterAssetCodec, TLcdEarthRasterAssetCodec
public interface ILcdEarthAssetCodec
Interface for a class that can encode and decode ILcdEarthAsset objects, thus supporting persistency for 3D terrain metadata. Assets are encoded and decoded by converting them to and from Properties objects. These objects, in turn, can be written to disk by TLcdEarthAssetModelCodec.
