This property gets the amount of transparency to apply to the image.

Remarks:

None

This property gets and sets the amount of blue to apply to the image.

public float BlueTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

Single
This property gets the amount of blue to apply to the image.

Remarks:

None

public float RedTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

Single
This property gets the amount of red to apply to the image.

Remarks:

None

GreenTranslation

This property gets and sets the amount of green to apply to the image.

public float GreenTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

Single
This property gets the amount of green to apply to the image.

Remarks:

None

IsNegative

This property gets and sets whether the image should be converted to negative (inverse colors).

public bool IsNegative { get; set; }

Property Value

Boolean
This property gets and sets whether the image should be converted to negative (inverse colors).

Remarks:

None

IsGrayscale

This property gets and sets if the image should be converted to grayscale.

public bool IsGrayscale { get; set; }

Property Value

Boolean

        This property gets and sets if the image should be converted to grayscale.

Remarks:

None

ScaleFactor

The scale factor when drawing the primitive image. For example I am looking for an image with 100100px, If the ScaleFactor is set to 2, it means the component will get the image with 200200px. We want to keep it as 1 (by default) for most cases.

public double ScaleFactor { get; set; }

Property Value

Double

IsOpen

This property returns true if the RasterSource is open and false if it is not.

public bool IsOpen { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Boolean

Remarks:

Various methods on the RasterSource require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the RasterSource's Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current RasterSource is already open.

Constructors

GeoTiffRasterSource(String)

Initializes a new instance of the GeoTiffRasterSource class.

public GeoTiffRasterSource(string imagePathFilename)

Parameters

imagePathFilename String
The image path filename.

GeoTiffRasterSource(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the GeoTiffRasterSource class.

public GeoTiffRasterSource(string imagePathFilename, string worldFilePathFilename)

Parameters

imagePathFilename String
The image path filename.

worldFilePathFilename String
The world file path filename.

GeoTiffRasterSource(String, RectangleShape)

Initializes a new instance of the GeoTiffRasterSource class.

public GeoTiffRasterSource(string imagePathFilename, RectangleShape imageExtent)

Parameters

imagePathFilename String
The image path filename.

imageExtent RectangleShape
The image extent.

Methods

GetImageWidthCore()

This method returns the width of the image in screen coordinates.

protected int GetImageWidthCore()

Returns

Int32

        This method returns the width of the image in screen coordinates.

Remarks:

This abstract method is called from the concrete method GetImageWidth. You need to override it if you inherit from the RasterSource to return the width of your image. It returns the width of the image in screen coordinates.

GetImageHeightCore()

This method returns the height of the image in screen coordinates.

protected int GetImageHeightCore()

Returns

Int32

        This method returns the height of the image in screen coordinates.

Remarks:

This abstract method is called from the concrete method GetImageHeight. You need to override it if you inherit from the RasterSource to return the height of your image. It returns the height of the image in screen coordinates.

GetBoundingBoxCore()

This method returns the bounding box of the RasterSource.

protected RectangleShape GetBoundingBoxCore()

Returns

RectangleShape

        This method returns the bounding box of the RasterSource.

Remarks:

This method returns the bounding box of the RasterSource.

OpenCore()

This method opens the RasterSource so that it is initialized and ready to use.

protected void OpenCore()

Remarks:

This protected virtual method is called from the concrete public method Open. The Open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the RasterSource. Most methods on the RasterSource will throw an exception if the state of the RasterSource is not opened. When the map draws each layer, it will open the RasterSource as one of its first steps; then, after it is finished drawing with that layer, it will close it. In this way, we are sure to release all resources used by the RasterSource.

When implementing this abstract method, consider opening files for file-based sources, connecting to databases in the database-based sources and so on. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the RasterSource.

CloseCore()

This method opens the RasterSource so that it is initialized and ready to use.

protected void CloseCore()

Remarks:

This protected virtual method is called from the concrete public method Close. The Close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the RasterSource. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

If you override this method, it is recommended that you take the following things into account: This method may be called multiple times, so we suggest you write the method so that that a call to a closed RasterSource is ignored and does not generate an error. We also suggest that in the Close you free all resources that have been opened. Remember that the object will not be destroyed, but will be re-opened possibly in the near future.

GetImageCore(RectangleShape, Int32, Int32)

This method returns an image based on the worldExtent and image width and height.

protected GeoImage GetImageCore(RectangleShape worldExtent, int canvasWidth, int canvasHeight)

Parameters

worldExtent RectangleShape
This parameter represents the worldExtent you want to draw.

canvasWidth Int32
This parameter represents the width of the image you want to draw.

canvasHeight Int32
This parameter represents the height of the image you want to draw.

Returns

GeoImage

        This method returns an image based on the worldExtent and image width and
        height.

Remarks:

This method is responsible for returning the image based on the parameters passed in. As the core version of this method is abstract, you will need to override it when creating our own RasterSource.

Events

OpeningRasterSource

This event is called before the opening of the RasterSource.

public event EventHandler<OpeningRasterSourceEventArgs> OpeningRasterSource;

Remarks:

This event is called before the opening of the RasterSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Open method on the RasterSource, but before the protected OpenCore method.

It is typical that the RasterSource may be opened and closed may times during the life cycle of your application. The type of control the MapEngine is embedded in will dictate how often this happens. For example, in the case of the Web Edition, each time a RasterSource is in the Ajax or Post Back part of the page cycle, it will close the RasterSource before returning back to the client. This is to conserve resources, as the web is a connection-less environment. In the case of the Desktop Edition, we can keep the RasterSource open, knowing that we can maintain a persistent connection.

OpenedRasterSource

This event is called after the opening of the RasterSource.

public event EventHandler<OpenedRasterSourceEventArgs> OpenedRasterSource;

Remarks:

This event is called after the opening of the RasterSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Open method on the RasterSource and after the protected OpenCore method is called.
