Class TLcdEarthTileFormat

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.earth.tileset.TLcdEarthTileFormat
public class TLcdEarthTileFormat extends Object
Describes a tile's data format, using a Class and/or a Name. The Class is used to cast the tile's data to, e.g. byte[]. The name is used to further specify the data content, e.g. "JPEG". At least one of the parameters must not be null.

The class should not be null if the format describes data that is available in a java object. It can however be null if the format describes some data that exists on an external resource. Some examples:

Described dataClassName
an ALcdEarthTile with a BufferedImage as data BufferedImage.class null
an ALcdEarthTile with a byte[], that contains a jpeg encoded image, as data byte[].class jpeg
an ILcdEarthTileSetCoverage with jpeg encoded data on disk null jpeg

The format name is case insensitive, e.g. "JPEG" is the same as "Jpeg".
