All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class S57Arc
extends AbstractGPTool

This tool only works with an ArcInfo license and will only be available in ArcToolbox if you have installed ArcInfo Workstation. Converts data from S-57 format to ARC/INFO coverages. The Import From S57 tool is contained in the Coverage Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: ArcInfo only

Usage tips:

• S-57 is a data standard developed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) to be used for the exchange of digital hydrographic data.
• Each S-57 exchange dataset contains one catalog file and one or more base cells. Import From S57 reads the catalog file, converts it to an INFO file, then converts each base cell file to one or two ARC/INFO coverages. One of these coverages will contain all the isolated nodes (for instance, spatial point objects); the other coverage will contain all the spatial and feature objects plus the data descriptive information.
• The Import From S57 importer creates either one or two ARC/INFO coverages per base cell file, depending on the types of objects contained within the file.
• Import From S57 creates an INFO file to capture all the objects being converted fro each base cell file. The resulting file is called coverage.object and has the following items:NAME has a content of Record Identifier, LNAM has a content of Feature object long name, CLASS contains feature class, and PRIM contains the Object's spatial primitive (VI, VC, VE, VF, FP, FN, FL, FA, CF). This INFO file will have a record for each spatial and feature object being converted. The NAME and PRIM columns apply to both spatial and feature objects. However, the LNAM and CLASS columns only apply to feature objects. You can use this table to quickly identify what sort of objects exist in the base cell file.
• This INFO file is an enhancement to the importer and is not required by the exporter ( Export To S57; ).

• The following environments affect this tool: derivedPrecision; newPrecision; projectCompare; scratchWorkspace; , and current workspace;

Constructor Detail

S57Arc

public S57Arc()

Creates the Import From S57 tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

S57Arc

public S57Arc(Object inS57File,
              Object outWorkspace)

Creates the Import From S57 tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inS57File - File, the data catalog filename or base cell filename in the S-57 exchange set. If a catalog filename is specified, all base cell files listed in the catalog file will be converted. If a base cell filename is specified, only that base cell file will be converted.

outWorkspace - Folder | Workspace, the workspace where all output coverages will be written.

Method Detail

getInS57File

public Object getInS57File()

Returns the Input S57 File parameter of this tool . This parameter is File, the data catalog filename or base cell filename in the S-57 exchange set. If a catalog filename is specified, all base cell files listed in the catalog file will be converted. If a base cell filename is specified, only that base cell file will be converted. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input S57 File

setInS57File

public void setInS57File(Object inS57File)

Sets the Input S57 File parameter of this tool . This parameter is File, the data catalog filename or base cell filename in the S-57 exchange set. If a catalog filename is specified, all base cell files listed in the catalog file will be converted. If a base cell filename is specified, only that base cell file will be converted. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inS57File - File, the data catalog filename or base cell filename in the S-57 exchange set. If a catalog filename is specified, all base cell files listed in the catalog file will be converted. If a base cell filename is specified, only that base cell file will be converted.

getOutWorkspace

public Object getOutWorkspace()

Returns the Output Workspace parameter of this tool . This parameter is Folder | Workspace, the workspace where all output coverages will be written. This is a required parameter.
