Creating an ApproximationXform
The AppriximateXform uses a defined grid to approximate the GeodataXform. The following code example defines a grid of 32 x 32 pixels and a tolerance of 10. Rather than calculating transformation for each pixel, this ApproximateXform calculates on the grid if the error is within the defined tolerance and subdivides the grid if the error is larger than the tolerance.
[C#] public IApproximationXform CreateApproximateXform(IGeodataXform xform)
{
//Create an approximation of xform.
IApproximationXform approximateXform=new ApproximationXformClass();
approximateXform.GeodataXform=xform;
//Define the approximation parameters.
IGeodataXformApproximation geodataXformApproximation=
(IGeodataXformApproximation)approximateXform;
geodataXformApproximation.GridSize=32;
geodataXformApproximation.Approximation=true;
geodataXformApproximation.Tolerance=10; //Unit is in the input space.
return approximateXform;
}
Public Function CreateApproximateXform(ByVal xform As IGeodataXform) As IApproximationXform
