FilterType Property (TinFilter)

In This Topic

Gets and sets the filter type. Default value is TinFilterType.All.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public TinFilterType FilterType {get; set;}

Public Property FilterType As TinFilterType

Remarks

Use this property in conjunction with the DataElementsOnly and FilterEnvelope properties to determine the elements retrieved.

Here is a brief explanation of the possible combinations between FilterType and DataElementsOnly.

FilterType = All and DataElementsOnly = false; find all elements in the extent. If your extent is the super node extent (see TinDataset.GetSuperNodeExtent) or includes part of the super node extent, then super nodes and the incident edges and triangles will be retrieved.

FilterType = All and DataElementsOnly = true; find all elements in the extent that are classified as "inside". If your extent is the super node extent (see TinDataset.GetSuperNodeExtent) or includes part of the super node extent, then super nodes and the incident edges and triangles will not be retrieved as they are not classified as "inside".

FilterType = InsideTin and DataElementsOnly = false; find all elements inside the TIN not associated with super nodes that are in the extent.

FilterType = InsideTin and DataElementsOnly = true; find all elements inside the TIN not associated with super nodes that are in the extent and classified as "inside"

FilterType = InsideDataArea; find all elements inside the TIN's data area that are in the extent. Elements that are in the TIN's data area are by definition classified as "inside" so the DataElementsOnly property is unnecessary.

Example

Search for TIN Nodes

// search all nodes
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeCursor nodeCursor = tinDataset.SearchNodes(null))
{
  while (nodeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNode node = nodeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeFilter nodeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeFilter();
nodeFilter.FilterEnvelope = envelope;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeCursor nodeCursor = tinDataset.SearchNodes(nodeFilter))
{
  while (nodeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNode node = nodeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search all "inside" nodes
nodeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeFilter();
nodeFilter.FilterType = ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinFilterType.InsideDataArea;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeCursor nodeCursor = tinDataset.SearchNodes(nodeFilter))
{
  while (nodeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNode node = nodeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search for super nodes only
nodeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeFilter();
nodeFilter.FilterEnvelope = tinDataset.GetSuperNodeExtent();
nodeFilter.SuperNode = true;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNodeCursor nodeCursor = tinDataset.SearchNodes(nodeFilter))
{
  while (nodeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinNode node = nodeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

Search for TIN Edges

// search all edges
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeCursor edgeCursor = tinDataset.SearchEdges(null))
{
  while (edgeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdge edge = edgeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeFilter edgeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeFilter();
edgeFilter.FilterEnvelope = envelope;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeCursor edgeCursor = tinDataset.SearchEdges(edgeFilter))
{
  while (edgeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdge edge = edgeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search all "inside" edges
edgeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeFilter();
edgeFilter.FilterType = ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinFilterType.InsideDataArea;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeCursor edgeCursor = tinDataset.SearchEdges(edgeFilter))
{
  while (edgeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdge edge = edgeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search for hard edges
edgeFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeFilter();
edgeFilter.FilterByEdgeType = true;
edgeFilter.EdgeType = ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeType.HardEdge;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdgeCursor edgeCursor = tinDataset.SearchEdges(edgeFilter))
{
  while (edgeCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinEdge edge = edgeCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

Search for TIN Triangles

// search all triangles
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleCursor triangleCursor = tinDataset.SearchTriangles(null))
{
  while (triangleCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangle triangle = triangleCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleFilter triangleFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleFilter();
triangleFilter.FilterEnvelope = envelope;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleCursor triangleCursor = tinDataset.SearchTriangles(triangleFilter))
{
  while (triangleCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangle triangle = triangleCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search all "inside" triangles
triangleFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleFilter();
triangleFilter.FilterType = ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinFilterType.InsideDataArea;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangleCursor triangleCursor = tinDataset.SearchTriangles(triangleFilter))
{
  while (triangleCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.TinTriangle triangle = triangleCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}
