Point 2 Grid

Configuration examples Point 2 Grid

description

A relation to a grid domain can be configured with the value function (example), based on a point attribute of a vector domain.

The resulting attribute will contain the index numbers of the related grid domain for the vector domain.

example

// coordinate system 
unit<fpoint> rdc_base : format = "EPSG:28992",
unit<fpoint> rdc      := range(rdc_base, point(300000f,0f), point(625000f,280000f));

// configuration of grid domain, related to the rdc
unit<spoint> griddomain := range(
      gridset(rdc, point(-100f, 100f, rdc), point(625000f, 10000f, rdc) ,'spoint')
     ,point(   0s,    0s)
     ,point(3250s, 2700s)
);

 // configuration of vector domain, with a point attribute in rdc coordinates
unit<uint32> vectordomain: nrofrows = 4
{
   attribute<rdc> point: [{20427,69272},{17502,95885},{3188,80531},{12620,112190}];
}

attribute<griddomain> grid_7015_and_later_rel (vectordomain) := vectordomain/point[griddomain];

A grid and vector domain_unit are configured, both with rdc as coordinate unit. In the bold line the actual relation is configured. The value functions works as the coordinates used are expressed in the same coordinates (in this case rdc).

The value function can also be applied to calculate coordinate transformations, if the format strings of the coordinate systems are known. These strings need to be configured in the format property of these base units for the coordinate systems.

backward incompability

To make your configuration working both in versions before and after 7.015, you need to configure an expression in which the GeoDMSVersion function is used to determine the running GeoDMS version.

example

attribute<griddomain> grid_rel (vectordomain) := = GeoDMSVersion() > 7.015
   ? 'vectordomain/point[rdc]'
   : 'value((vectordomain/point - projOffset) / projFactor, griddomain")';

The expression in the example with the double == is an indirect expression. Based on the GeoDMSVersion the grid_rel is calculated in a different way.
