Members
Description
The PythonVrOne DTM Class contains routines for creating and working with DTM models. This includes DTM processing, contour generation, and elevation querying.
IMPORTANT USAGE NOTE: There are two main ways to use the DTM class:
| 1. | Getting a reference to the main VrOne DTM object. This is done by creating a PyVrDtm object with a parameter of "True" and an optional surface number. This method allows the DTM data to be shared with the current VrOne session. Any DTMs created with this method will be active in VrOne for things such as cursor tracking. |
| 2. | Creating a new DTM object separate from the VrOne DTM object. This is done by creating a PyVrDtm object with a parameter of "False". This allows a DTM to be created that is completely separate from the active DTM in VrOne. VrOne has no knowledge of DTMs created using this method. Cursor tracking will not follow a DTM created with this method. |
See the dtmtest.py and testslope.py scripts for sample code that use the PyVrDtm class.
Member Function Documentation
PyVrDtm (UseVrDtm, CgNum)
Returns a DTM object. This object is either a newly created DTM object or a reference to the VrOne DTM object depending on what value is passed in for UseVrDtm.
UseVrDtm
|
True = Return reference to existing VrOne DTM object. False = Return new DTM object.
|
CgNum
|
Optional. Surface number to use. 0-7, or –1 to use active surface.
|
returns

PyVrDtm oject.

Reset ()
Resets DTM parameters so a new Process command can be called. Always call this command or ResetMinMax before calling Process. This method does not need to be called if using the ProcessWs method.
ResetMinMax (MinX, MinY, MinZ, MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ)
Resets DTM parameters so points can be manually added to the DTM. This should always be called before points are added using AddPoint. All points added using AddPoint must fall within these bounds. If you are not adding points manually with AddPoint, Reset can be used instead.
MinX
|
Min x of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
MinY
|
Min y of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
MinZ
|
Min z of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
MaxX
|
Max x of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
MaxY
|
Max y of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
MaxZ
|
Max z of box bounding extents of points to be added to DTM.
|
AddPoint (x, y, z)
Manually adds a point to the DTM model. ResetMinMax() must be called before adding the first point. The Process method must be used after manually adding points or the points will be ignored.
x
|
X coordinate of point to add.
|
y
|
Y coordinate of point to add.
|
z
|
Z coordinate of point to add.
|
SetAreaToModel (AreaToModel)
Sets workspace area to model.
AreaToModel
|
0=Entire workspace, 1=Window area only
|
SetVerbose (Verbose)
Sets verbose mode.
Verbose
|
0=Verbose mode off, 1=Verbose mode on
|
SetWsToConsid (WsToConsid)
Sets workspace to consider.
WsToConsid
|
0=All Workspaces, 1= Current Workspace
|
Process ()
Processes the DTM TIN only. Does not place triangles or contours into the current VrOne file. This processes points and breaklines according to the current DTM parameters. To only process manually added points, call SetPointsLayer and SetBreaksLayer with empty strings before beginning processing.
ProcessWs ()
Processes the complete DTM. Ignores any manually added points and places triangles, contours, boundary line, and depressions into the current VrOne file according to the current DTM parameters. This command is equivalent to using the RunDtm command in VrOne.
GetElev (x, y)
Returns elevation of point within the DTM.

|
y
|
Floating point Y coordinate of point where elevation should be computed.

returns

(z)

|
SetFreeFlag (FreeFlag)
Determines whether DTM remains in memory after processing. This must be "True" for cursor tracking. Default value ("True" or "False") depends on currently loaded DTM parameters.
FreeFlag
|
True = Keep DTM in memory. False = Remove DTM from memory.
|
IsDtmValid ()
Returns status of DTM.
returns
|
(ret)
|
|
