Unigine::Dataset Class

The Dataset class is used for processing raster and vector data with binding to geo-coordinates. The class uses GDAL API to retrieve data from files.

The class allows for loading such rare raster formats as .dem, .tiff (with information on binding to geo-coordinates), .ecw and vector formats .osm, .shp.

For raster data, geo-coordinates can be obtained per-pixel in the (latitude, longitude) format. Pixel values can be of different formats (R8, R16, R32F for single-channel data; RGB8, RGB16, RGB32F, RGBA8, RGBA16, RGBA32F for multi-channel data).

The following example shows how raster data can be accessed by using methods of the Dataset class:

// AppWorldLogic.cpp

#include <UnigineDataset.h>
#include <UnigineLog.h>
#include <UnigineEngine.h>
#include <UnigineImage.h>
#include <UnigineInterface.h>

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	
	// create a new dataset
	DatasetPtr dataset = Dataset::create();
	// load raster data
	dataset->load("unigine_project/maps/geo.tif");
	// declare images into which raster data obtained from the loaded dataset will be saved
	Vector<ImagePtr> raster_data;
	// print data on each raster band of the dataset
	for (int i = 0; i < dataset->getRasterCount(); i++) {
		Log::message("Band:  %d\n", i);
		Log::message("Type:  %s\n", dataset->getRasterTypeName(i));
		Log::message("Color: %s\n", dataset->getRasterColorName(i));

		ImagePtr image = Image::create();
		// create an image of the size and format of the current raster band
		image->create2D(dataset->getRasterSizeX(), dataset->getRasterSizeY(), Image::FORMAT_R8);
		// read the region of the current raster band into the created image
		if (dataset->getRasterImage(i, image) == 0) {			
			Log::error("Can't import raster band, layer: %d\n", i);
			continue;
		}
		// add the obtained raster data to the array
		raster_data.append(image);
	}

	for (int y = 0; y < dataset->getRasterSizeY(); y += dataset->getRasterSizeY() - 1) {
		for (int x = 0; x < dataset->getRasterSizeX(); x += dataset->getRasterSizeX() - 1) {
			double latitude = dataset->getLatitude(x, y);
			double longitude = dataset->getLongitude(x, y);
			Log::message("%4dx%-4d: %f / %f\n", x, y, latitude, longitude);
		}
	}
	
	return 1;
}

For vector data, the number of primitives, their points and properties can be obtained. You can also triangulate a primitive and save it to a dynamic mesh (see the samples_2/geodetics/dataset_00 sample).

Vector Dataset

// AppWorldLogic.cpp

#include <UnigineDataset.h>
#include <UnigineLog.h>
#include <UnigineEngine.h>
#include <UnigineInterface.h>

using namespace Unigine; 

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	// create a new dataset
	DatasetPtr dataset = Dataset::create();
	// load vector data
	dataset->load("unigine_project/maps/antarctica.shp");
	// print information on the dataset layers
	for (int i = 0; i < dataset->getVectorCount(); i++) {
		Log::message("Layer:  %d\n", i);
		Log::message("Name:   %s\n", dataset->getVectorName(i));
		Log::message("Fields: %d\n", dataset->getVectorFieldCount(i));
		Log::message("Features:\n");
		// print field definitions and its associated values for each feature of the dataset layer
		// starting from the first feature
		dataset->vectorFeatureReadReset(i);
		// obtain the current feature
		while (dataset->vectorFeatureReadNext(i)) {
			// for each field definition of the current feature
			for (int j = 0; j < dataset->getVectorFieldCount(i); j++) {
				// get the name
				const char *field_name = dataset->getVectorFieldName(i, j);
				// get the associated value
				Variable field_value = dataset->getVectorFieldValue(i, j);
				// print the obtained values
				Log::message("\t%s: %s\n", field_name, field_value.getTypeInfo().get());
			}
		}
	}
	
	return 1;
}

int setVectorAttributeFilter(int num, const char * filter)

This method sets the attribute query string to be used when fetching features via the vectorFeatureReadNext() method. Only features for which the query evaluates as true will be returned.

The query string should be in the format of an SQL WHERE clause. For instance "population > 1000000 and population < 5000000" where population is an attribute in the layer. The query format is normally a restricted form of SQL WHERE clause. In some cases (RDBMS backed drivers) the native capabilities of the database may be used to interpret the WHERE clause in which case the capabilities will be broader than those of OGR SQL.

Arguments

• int num - Layer index in the vector dataset.
• const char * filter - Query in restricted SQL WHERE format, or NULL to clear the current query.
