extends Serializable

Provides access to members to control TIN elements.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Summary

int	getIndex() The element's index number.
int	getTagValue() The tag value of the specified element.
ITin	getTheTin() The TIN object referenced by the element.
void	init(ITin pTin, int index) Initializes a new TIN element.
boolean	isEmpty() Indicates if the specified element is uninitialized.
boolean	isInsideDataArea() Indicates if the specified element is within the interpolation zone of the TIN.
void	setEmpty() Uninitializes the element.

Method Detail

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Indicates if the specified element is uninitialized.

Description

Indicates whether or not the element has been set with values.

When an element is instantiated using 'New' IsEmpty will return True.

When using QueryNext on one of the element enumerators, the end of the set is indicated by IsEmpty returning True.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pbIsEmpty

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getTheTin

ITin getTheTin()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

The TIN object referenced by the element.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ITin

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getIndex

int getIndex()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

The element's index number.

Description

Returns the index number of the element. TINs are composed of 1..n node, edge, and triangle elements. The base index number for TIN elements is 1.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pIndex

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getTagValue

int getTagValue()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

The tag value of the specified element.

Description

A tag value is a 32-bit long integer. Presently, only nodes and triangles support tags. Support for edge tags is anticipated in a future release. Tag values can be set to whatever the user wishes and their interpretation is left up to the user. Examples include accuracy codes on nodes or land cover codes on triangles.

A TIN layer has support to symbolize itself through the use of tag values.

The Identify tool used in ArcMap and ArcScene will report tag values.

The default tag value is 0.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pValue

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setEmpty

void setEmpty()
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Uninitializes the element.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

init

void init(ITin pTin,
          int index)
          throws IOException,
                 AutomationException

Initializes a new TIN element.

Description

After instantiating a new TIN element you can initialize its properties with Init. The input arguments include a TIN object and an index number. The base index number for nodes, edges, and triangles is 1.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Parameters:

pTin - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ITin (in)

index - The index (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isInsideDataArea

boolean isInsideDataArea()
                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException

Indicates if the specified element is within the interpolation zone of the TIN.
