geomss.geom.reader.BDSGeomReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeomReader, java.lang.Comparable

public class BDSGeomReader
extends AbstractGeomReader

A GeomReader for writing vehicle point geometry out to an SAIC bdStudio BDS mesh geometry file. The input geometry is assumed to be made up of quadrilateral panels (with one panel side possibly collapsed).

BDSGeomReader

public BDSGeomReader()

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. This will return a brief description of the format read by this reader.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A description of this format type.

getExtension

public java.lang.String getExtension()

Returns the preferred file extension (not including the ".") for files of this GeomReader's type.

Returns:

The preferred file extension for this format type.

canWriteData

public boolean canWriteData()

Returns true. This class can write point geometry to a BDS formatted file.

Specified by:

canWriteData in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

canWriteData in class AbstractGeomReader

Returns:

Always returns true.

write

public void write(java.io.File outputFile,
                  GeometryList geometry)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes out a bdStudio mesh (BDS) geometry file for the geometry contained in the supplied PointVehicle object.

WARNING: This format is not unit aware. The geometry will be written out in whatever its current units are! Make sure to convert to the desired units for the file before calling this method.

Specified by:

write in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

write in class AbstractGeomReader

Parameters:

outputFile - The output file to which the geometry is to be written.

geometry - The PointVehicle object to be written out. May not be null.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is a problem writing to the specified file.

isUnitAware

public boolean isUnitAware()

This method always returns false as BDS files do not encode the units that are being used. You must call setFileUnits to set the units being used before reading a file of this format.

Returns:

Always returns false.
