Model interfaces Link icon

The following are the main model interfaces provided in this package:
  • ILcdModel: basic model interface, providing methods for retrieving, adding and removing elements, to be implemented by all models.
  • ILcdIntegerIndexedModel: extension of ILcdModel that allows integered-indexed queries, similar to a Java List.
  • ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel: extension of ILcdModel that allows spatial queries.
  • ILcdFeatureIndexedModel: extension of ILcdModel that allows feature-based queries.

Model implementations Link icon

The following table shows all available ILcdModel implementations in this package and the functionality they offer. One should choose the model that matches best the requirements: the more functionality a model offers, the more resources it will use and the more constraints it will put on the elements.

Model Integer access Spatial access Feature access Multileveling Lazy loading
TLcdVectorModel x
TLcd2DBoundsIndexedModel x x
TLcdMultilevel2DBoundsIndexedModel x x x
TLcdSoft2DBoundsIndexedModel x x

The class documentation provides more information about the constraints and limitations of each of the implementations.

If it is unclear which model to use, TLcd2DBoundsIndexedModel is a good first choice that has a good overall performance without adding too much complexity to the application.

Two classes are provided to combine multiple models into larger models:
