All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class MakeWCSLayer
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a temporary raster layer from a WCS service. The Make WCS Layer tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• This is one of the few tools that can accept a WCS service as an input; therefore, this tool can be used to convert a WCS service to a raster layer, which can then be used by a geoprocessing tool. The layer that is created by the tool is temporary and will not persist after the session ends unless the document is saved.
• The input can also be a URL to a WCS server. The WCS server URL should also include the coverage and version information. If only URL is entered, the tool will automatically take the first coverage and use default version (1.0.0) to create the WCS layer.
• The output can be the entire image service or a portion of it.
• You can clip out a portion of the image service by choosing an output extent layer or by specifying the rectangle extent. If you choose an output extent layer, the clip extent will be based upon extent of that layer.
• The output can be created with only a subset of the bands. This will help save on time and disk space.

Constructor Detail

MakeWCSLayer

public MakeWCSLayer()

Creates the Make WCS Layer tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

MakeWCSLayer

public MakeWCSLayer(Object inWcsCoverage,
                    Object outWcsLayer)

Creates the Make WCS Layer tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inWcsCoverage - the name of the input WCS service, or the URL that references the WCS service. if a WCS server URL is used, the URL should include the coverage name and version information. If only URL is entered, the tool will automatically take the first coverage and use default version (1.0.0) to create the WCS layer. an example of a URL that includes the coverage name and version is below: http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?coverage=rasterDRGs&version=1.1.1 in this example, "http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?" is the URL. The coverage specified is "coverage=rasterDRGs", and the version is "&version=1.1.1". to get the coverage names on a WCS server, use the WCS GetCapabilities request. An example of WCS request is http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?request=getcapabilities&service=wcs

outWcsLayer - the name of the output WCS layer.

Method Detail

getInWcsCoverage

public Object getInWcsCoverage()

Returns the Input WCS Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the name of the input WCS service, or the URL that references the WCS service. if a WCS server URL is used, the URL should include the coverage name and version information. If only URL is entered, the tool will automatically take the first coverage and use default version (1.0.0) to create the WCS layer. an example of a URL that includes the coverage name and version is below: http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?coverage=rasterDRGs&version=1.1.1 in this example, "http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?" is the URL. The coverage specified is "coverage=rasterDRGs", and the version is "&version=1.1.1". to get the coverage names on a WCS server, use the WCS GetCapabilities request. An example of WCS request is http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?request=getcapabilities&service=wcs This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input WCS Coverage

setInWcsCoverage

public void setInWcsCoverage(Object inWcsCoverage)

Sets the Input WCS Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the name of the input WCS service, or the URL that references the WCS service. if a WCS server URL is used, the URL should include the coverage name and version information. If only URL is entered, the tool will automatically take the first coverage and use default version (1.0.0) to create the WCS layer. an example of a URL that includes the coverage name and version is below: http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?coverage=rasterDRGs&version=1.1.1 in this example, "http://ServerName/arcgis/services/serviceName/ImageServer/WCSServer?" is the URL. The coverage specified is "coverage=rasterDRGs", and the version is "&version=1.1.1". to get the coverage names on a WCS server, use the WCS GetCapabilities request.
