Cartographic Representations
A customer will use PLTS Nautical to collect/manage data and to create/manage a number of charts. They want to create applications using ArcGIS Engine to view the MXDs that they will be creating. As I understand it, PLTS Nautical makes extensive use of cartographic representations. I know these can be viewed in standard ArcMap (no PLTS installed). I'm wondering if these MXDs can view displayed and used in ArcGIS Engine applications.
Thanks.
Mapping Center Answer:
ArcGIS Engine supports cartographic representations through the Carto reference library. The interfaces that manage representations in ArcGIS Engine can be found under the following directories:
Carto Contents
- IRepresentationLegendClass: Provides access to the properties and methods of a RepresentationLegendClass
- IRepresentationRenderer: Provides access to the properties and methods of a RepresentationRenderer
Display Contents
- IRepresentationGraphics: Provides access to the content of a RepresentationGraphics object.
- IRepresentationMarker: Provides access to members that control a representation marker.
- IRepresentationRule: Provides access to members that control a representation rule.
- IRepresentationRule2: Provides access to members that control a representation rule.
- IRepresentationRuleInit: Provides access to members that initialize a representation rule.
- IRepresentationRuleItem: Provides access to methods defining a representation rule item.
Geodatabase Contents
- IDERepresentationClass: Provides access to members that return information about representation class data elements.
Keep in mind that representation capabilities are determined by the ArcGIS Desktop user license.
