public class TLcyContourAddOn extends ALcyFormatAddOn
Add-on to calculate terrain contour lines and visualize them on a GXY map. It provides a terrain analysis back-end, format and GUI.

The back-end performs the actual calculation. It can be used independently of the used GUI.

The GUI's application pane is built by a ALcyApplicationPaneTool, using the add-on's GUI factory. By default, this GUI uses the composite workspace preferences of the add-on's preferences tool.

The add-on's functionality can be changed by extending the back-end, or by extending the GUI builder and tapping into the latter preferences object. See the developer's guide for more information on using and extending TEA add-ons.

Note that this add-on depends on the LuciadLightspeed Terrain Analysis Engine component.

      See Also:

    • getContourBackEnd

      public TLcyContourBackEnd getContourBackEnd()
      The back-end that the GUI can use for performing contour calculations.

      Override createContourBackEnd() to extend the back-end.

      Returns:
      a TLcyContourBackEnd object for performing contour calculations
      See Also:

    • createContourBackEnd

      protected TLcyContourBackEnd createContourBackEnd()
      Returns a new back-end for contour calculations. Override this method to extend the default back-end with new functionality.
      Returns:
      a new back-end for contour calculations

    • createGUIFactory

      protected ALcyGUIFactory<Component> createGUIFactory()
      Returns a new GUI factory for this add-on. Override this method to extend the default GUI with new functionality.

      For example, this add-on could return a new instance of TLcyContourGUIFactory

      Returns:
      a new GUI factory for this add-on

    • createBaseFormat

      protected ALcyFormat createBaseFormat()

      Returns a new data format for this add-on. Override this method to extend the default format with new functionality.

      For example, to alter the icon of the layers of this format, you can decorate the layer factory created in the format: 

      
 @Override
 protected ALcyFormat createBaseFormat() {
   return new ALcyFormatWrapper(super.createBaseFormat()){
     @Override
     protected ILcdGXYLayerFactory createGXYLayerFactory(){
       final ILcdGXYLayerFactory delegate = super.createGXYLayerFactory();
       return new ILcdGXYLayerFactory(){
         @Override
         public ILcdGXYLayer createGXYLayer(ILcdModel aModel){
           ILcdGXYLayer layer = delegate.createGXYLayer(aModel);
           if (layer != null){
             ILcdIcon icon = ...;
             layer.setIcon(icon);
           }
           return layer;
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }

      Note that the created format is at least wrapped by a TLcySafeGuardFormatWrapper (or equivalent) before it is plugged in ILcyLucyEnv (using e.g. TLcyFormatTool). So it is safe to rely on the safety checks performed by that wrapper.

      A contour model contains a collection of ILcdComplexPolygon instances, sorted by ascending value. The polygons offer the following feature list:

      Feature name Feature class
      Altitude ILcdISO19103Measure.class
      Returns:
      a new file format for this add-on

    • createFormatWrapper

      public final ALcyFormat createFormatWrapper(ALcyFormat aBaseFormat)
      Description copied from class: ALcyFormatAddOn

      Returns a new data format wrapper for this add-on. A format wrapper extends the base format with aspects such as asynchronous painting, mutable file behavior, safe guarding, etc.

      Overriding this method of an existing add-on should be done with extreme care as add-ons typically rely on the wrappers that should be present (e.g. a safe guard).

      Specified by:
      createFormatWrapper in class ALcyFormatAddOn
      Parameters:
      aBaseFormat - the base format to wrap
      Returns:
      a new format for this add-on
      See Also:

    • createApplicationPaneTool

      protected ALcyApplicationPaneTool createApplicationPaneTool()
      Returns the add-on's application pane tool. Override this method to add to the default application pane tool's functionality.

      This add-on's application pane tool initializes the GUI factory with the add-on's composite workspace preferences. It also ensures that the panel is updated from the selected TEA layer's stored GUI properties.

      Returns:
      the add-on's application pane tool
      See Also:

    • getGUIFactory

      public ALcyGUIFactory<Component> getGUIFactory()
      Returns the GUI factory to create the add-on's application pane. See createGUIFactory() if you want to override or extend the add-on's factory.
      Returns:
      the add-on's GUI factory

    • getApplicationPaneTool

      public ALcyApplicationPaneTool getApplicationPaneTool()
      Returns the tool that creates the add-on's application pane. See createApplicationPaneTool() if you want to override or extend the add-on's application pane tool.
      Returns:
      the tool that creates the add-on's application pane

    • createPreferencesTool

      protected TLcyPreferencesTool createPreferencesTool()
      Creates the TLcyPreferencesTool to be used by this add-on. Overwriting this method for example allows to register additional ILcyPropertyConverters for (complex) custom properties, to make sure they are correctly decoded from the add-on's configuration file and/or saved to the workspace. Note that this isn't required for simple properties such as String, int, double, etc.
      Overrides:
      createPreferencesTool in class ALcyPreferencesAddOn
      Returns:
      the created TLcyPreferencesTool.
