ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / PointCloudSceneLayer Class / SetRenderer Method
Input ArcGIS.Core.CIM.CIMPointCloudRenderer
Example

In This Topic
    SetRenderer Method (PointCloudSceneLayer)
    In This Topic
    Specifies the point cloud scene layer's renderer object which determines how the layer draws. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public void SetRenderer( 
       CIMPointCloudRenderer renderer
    )
    Public Sub SetRenderer( _
       ByVal renderer As CIMPointCloudRenderer _
    ) 

    Parameters

    renderer
    Input ArcGIS.Core.CIM.CIMPointCloudRenderer
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Remarks
    Call CreateRenderer to generate the CIMPointCloudRenderer from a PointCloudRendererDefinition needed as input to this method.
    GetAvailablePointCloudRendererFields should be called first to determine if the PointCloudSceneLayer contains the specified fields needed for the input renderer type. Calling SetRenderer with an invalid renderer will break the renderer of the layer until it is reset to a supported type.
    Example
    Create and Set a Stretch Renderer
    //Must be called on the MCT
    //var pcsl = ...;
    
    //At 2.x - var fields = pcsl.QueryAvailablePointCloudRendererFields(
    //                           PointCloudRendererType.StretchRenderer);
    
    var fields = pcsl.GetAvailablePointCloudRendererFields(
                             PointCloudRendererType.StretchRenderer);
    var stretchDef = new PointCloudRendererDefinition(
                              PointCloudRendererType.StretchRenderer)
    {
      //Will be either ELEVATION or INTENSITY
      Field = fields[0]
    };
    //Create the CIM Renderer
    var stretchRenderer = pcsl.CreateRenderer(stretchDef) 
                                       as CIMPointCloudStretchRenderer;
    //Apply a color ramp
    var style = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>()
                                    .First(s => s.Name == "ArcGIS Colors");
    var colorRamp = style.SearchColorRamps("").First();
    stretchRenderer.ColorRamp = colorRamp.ColorRamp;
    //Apply modulation
    stretchRenderer.ColorModulation = new CIMColorModulationInfo()
    {
      MinValue = 0,
      MaxValue = 100
    };
    //apply the renderer
    pcsl.SetRenderer(stretchRenderer);
    
    Create and Set a ClassBreaks Renderer
    //Must be called on the MCT
    //var pcsl = ...;
    
    //At 2.x - var fields = pcsl.QueryAvailablePointCloudRendererFields(
    //                          PointCloudRendererType.ClassBreaksRenderer);
    
    var fields = pcsl.GetAvailablePointCloudRendererFields(
                         PointCloudRendererType.ClassBreaksRenderer);
    var classBreakDef = new PointCloudRendererDefinition(
                              PointCloudRendererType.ClassBreaksRenderer)
    {
      //ELEVATION or INTENSITY
      Field = fields[0]
    };
    //create the renderer
    var cbr = pcsl.CreateRenderer(classBreakDef) 
                              as CIMPointCloudClassBreaksRenderer;
    //Set up a color scheme to use
    var style = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>()
                               .First(s => s.Name == "ArcGIS Colors");
    var rampStyle = style.LookupItem(
      StyleItemType.ColorRamp, "Spectrum By Wavelength-Full Bright_Multi-hue_2")
                                                                as ColorRampStyleItem;
    var colorScheme = rampStyle.ColorRamp;
    //Set up 6 manual class breaks
    var breaks = 6;
    var colors = ColorFactory.Instance.GenerateColorsFromColorRamp(
                                                colorScheme, breaks);
    var classBreaks = new List<CIMColorClassBreak>();
    var min = cbr.Breaks[0].UpperBound;
    var max = cbr.Breaks[cbr.Breaks.Count() - 1].UpperBound;
    var step = (max - min) / (double)breaks;
    
    //add in the class breaks
    double upper = min;
    for (int b = 1; b <= breaks; b++)
    {
      double lower = upper;
      upper = b == breaks ? max : min + (b * step);
      var cb = new CIMColorClassBreak()
      {
        UpperBound = upper,
        Label = string.Format("{0:#0.0#} - {1:#0.0#}", lower, upper),
        Color = colors[b - 1]
      };
      classBreaks.Add(cb);
    }
    cbr.Breaks = classBreaks.ToArray();
    pcsl.SetRenderer(cbr);
