DETerrain

Base Type: DEGeoDataset

A class for a terrain data element.

Property	Type	Description
ConfigurationKeyword	string	The storage parameter used with ArcSDE databases.
FeatureDatasetName	string	The name of the feature dataset.
MaxOverviewSize	int	The maximum number of points in the most generalized representation of a Terrain.
MaxShapeSize	int	The maximum number of vertices per multipoint stored in the terrain pyramid.
PyramidType	int	The kind of the pyramid as defined by the type of filter it uses to thin points.
TerrainDataSources	TerrainDataSource[]	The list of the terrain data sources.
TerrainPyramidLevelWindowSizes	TerrainPyramidLevelWindowSize[]	The list of errainPyramidLevelWindowSize objects.
TerrainPyramidLevelZTols	TerrainPyramidLevelZTol[]	The list of TerrainPyramidLevelZTol objects.
TileSize	int	The horizontal distance of the side of a terrain tile.
WindowSizeMethod	int	The method used by the windowsize filter to select points.
WindowSizeZThreshold	int	The maximum vertical displacement property associated with the secondary thinning filter.
WindowSizeZThresholdStrategy	int	Controls how liberal secondary thinning is permitted to be.

Remarks

The terrain data element, is used to access the global properties of a terrain dataset.

Pyramids are defined by either Z Tolerance or Window Size:

• Z Tolerance: Pyramid-level resolution defined by the overall vertical accuracy at an associated scale range relative to the full-resolution data.
• Window Size: Pyramid-level resolution defined by an equal area window size at an associated scale range.
