Detailed Description

VSG extension Specifies a uniform grid of elevation values within some spatial reference frame.

The SoGeoElevationGrid allows to create terrain models for local or large areas (automatically introduces correct degree of earth curvature).

The SoGeoElevationGrid node specifies a uniform grid of elevation values within some spatial reference frame. These are then transparently transformed into a geocentric, curved-earth representation. For example, this would allow a geographer to create a height field where all coordinates are specified in terms of latitude, longitude, and elevation. The geoSystem field is used to define the spatial reference frame and is described in 25.2.3 Specifying a spatial reference frame. The geoGridOrigin field specifies the geographic coordinate for the south-west corner (bottom-left) of the dataset. This value should be specified as described in 25.2.4 Specifying geospatial coordinates. The height array contains xDimension zDimension floating point values that represent elevation above the ellipsoid or the geoid, as appropriate. These values are given in row-major order from west to east, south to north. When the geoSystem is "GD", xSpacing refers to the number of degrees of longitude between adjacent height values and zSpacing refers to the number of degrees of latitude between vertical height values. When the geoSystem is "UTM", xSpacing refers to the number of eastings (meters) between adjacent height values and zSpacing refers to the number of northings (meters) between vertical height values. EXAMPLE If xDimension = n and the grid spans d units horizontally, the xSpacing value should be set to: d / (n-1). The yScale value can be used to produce a vertical exaggeration of the data when it is displayed. By default, this value is 1.0 (no exaggeration). If this value is set greater than 1.0, all heights will appear larger than actual.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoGeoElevationGrid()

SoGeoElevationGrid::SoGeoElevationGrid ( )

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getClassTypeId()

static SoType SoGeoElevationGrid::getClassTypeId ( )
static

Returns the type identifier for this class.


◆ getTypeId()

virtual SoType SoGeoElevationGrid::getTypeId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the type identifier for this specific instance.

Reimplemented from SoIndexedFaceSet.

Member Data Documentation

◆ geoGridOrigin

SoSFVec3f SoGeoElevationGrid::geoGridOrigin

Specifies the geographic coordinate for the south-west corner (bottom-left) of the dataset.

Definition at line 112 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ geoSystem

SoMFString SoGeoElevationGrid::geoSystem

Defines the spatial reference frame.


Valid values are:

  • GC: Earth-fixed Geocentric with respect to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
  • GD: Geodetic spatial reference frame.
    An optional second string may be used to specify the ellipsoid used. If no ellipsoid is specified, then "WE" is assumed (the WGS84 ellipsoid).
  • UTM: Universal Transverse Mercator
    One further required argument must be supplied for UTM in order to specify the zone number (1..60). This is given in the form "Zn", where n is the zone number. An optional argument of "S" may be supplied in order to specify that the coordinates are in the southern hemisphere (otherwise, northern hemisphere will be assumed).

Definition at line 128 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ height

SoMFFloat SoGeoElevationGrid::height

The height array contains xDimension * zDimension floating point values that represent elevation above the ellipsoid or the geoid, as appropriate.

These values are given in row-major order from west to east, south to north.

Definition at line 135 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ xDimension

SoSFInt32 SoGeoElevationGrid::xDimension

Number of X values in the grid.

Definition at line 140 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ xSpacing

SoSFFloat SoGeoElevationGrid::xSpacing

Spacing between X values.


When the geoSystem is "GD", xSpacing refers to the number of degrees of longitude between adjacent height values. When the geoSystem is "UTM", xSpacing refers to the number of eastings (meters) between adjacent height values.

Definition at line 148 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ yScale

SoSFFloat SoGeoElevationGrid::yScale

The yScale value can be used to produce a vertical exaggeration of the data when it is displayed.

By default, this value is 1.0 (no exaggeration). If this value is set greater than 1.0, all heights will appear larger than actual.

Definition at line 106 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ zDimension

SoSFInt32 SoGeoElevationGrid::zDimension

Number of Z values in the grid.

Definition at line 153 of file SoGeoElevationGrid.h.

◆ zSpacing

SoSFFloat SoGeoElevationGrid::zSpacing

Spacing between Z values.


When the geoSystem is "GD", zSpacing refers to the number of degrees of latitude between vertical height values. When the geoSystem is "UTM", zSpacing refers to the number of northings (meters) between vertical height values.
