Package com.luciad.format.magneticnorth

Class TLcdIGRFModelDecoder

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.format.magneticnorth.TLcdIGRFModelDecoder
All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable, ILcdModelDecoder, ILcdStatusSource
public class TLcdIGRFModelDecoder extends Object implements ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable
This class produces a TLcdMagneticNorthModel from a data file containing the parameters for the IGRF magnetic model. Such a file can be found in samples/resources/Data/magneticnorth

Input files

File Required Entry point Description
* x x file containing the magnetic model coefficients
Should you want to download such a file from the IGRF website, beware that the file format is that of the Geomag software, not the spreadsheet format.
The current implementation supports the coefficient files up to IGRF-14. Because the coefficients file format is subject to change, this decoder is not guaranteed to work with future coefficient files.

Model reference

The model reference of the decoded models is geodetic (WGS 84).

Supported file transfer protocols

This model decoder supports all transfer protocols that are supported by the ILcdInputStreamFactory of this decoder.

Model structure

All models returned by this model decoder implement ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel.

Model descriptor

Model elements

The model elements are lines of constant declination of the magnetic field with respect to the true North, according to the set date. The model elements implement ILcdDataObject, on top of implementing their respective shape.

Sample code


 TLcdIGRFModelDecoder decoder = new TLcdIGRFModelDecoder();
 decoder.setDate(new GregorianCalendar(2019, 1, 1));
 ILcdModel model = decoder.decode("Data/magneticnorth/igrf");

Thread safety

  • The decoded models are thread-safe for read access when taking a read lock.

    • canDecodeSource

      public boolean canDecodeSource(String aSourceName)
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Checks whether this model decoder can decode the specified data source. It is acceptable for this method to return true for a source name while decode throws an exception for that same source name.

      For performance reasons, we strongly recommend that this will only be a simple test. For example: check the file extension of a file, but not that the file exists or contains expected content.

      Specified by:
      canDecodeSource in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aSourceName - the data source to be verified; typically a file name or a URL.
      Returns:
      true if this decoder can likely decode the data specified by the source name, false otherwise.

    • getDisplayName

      public String getDisplayName()
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Returns a short, displayable name for the format that is decoded by this ILcdModelDecoder.
      Specified by:
      getDisplayName in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Returns:
      the displayable name of this ILcdModelDecoder.

    • decode

      public ILcdModel decode(String aSourceName) throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Creates a new model from the given data source.
      Specified by:
      decode in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aSourceName - the data source to be decoded; typically a file name or a URL.
      Returns:
      A model containing the decoded data. While null is allowed, implementors are advised to throw an error instead.
      Throws:
      IOException - for any exceptions caused by IO problems or invalid data. Since decoding invalid data almost always results in RunTimeExceptions (NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, IllegalArgumentException, ...) on unexpected places, implementations are advised to catch RuntimeExceptions in their decode() method, and wrap them into an IOException, as illustrated in the code snippet below. 
      
   public ILcdModel decode( String aSourceName ) throws IOException {
      try (InputStream input = fInputStreamFactory.createInputStream(aSourceName)) {
         // Perform decoding ...
      } catch (RuntimeException e) {
         throw new IOException(e);
      }
   }

    • setClassTraceOn

      public static void setClassTraceOn(boolean aClassTraceOn)
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for all instances of this class. If the argument is true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aClassTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.

    • setTraceOn

      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for this class instance. Calling this method with either true or false as argument automatically turns off tracing for all other class instances for which setTraceOn has not been called. If the argument is false then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded for this instance. If false, then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.

      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Returns true if tracing is enabled for this class.
      Returns:
      true if tracing is enabled for this class, false otherwise.
