Class DualRes

java.lang.Object

visad.util.DualRes

Direct Known Subclasses:

ResSwitcher

public class DualRes
extends Object

Maintains two representations for a given data reference: one at high (normal) resolution, and one at low (scaled-down) resolution. When greater rendering speed is necessary, programs can utilize the computed low-resolution data. When more detail is required, programs can switch back to the hi-resolution data.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static boolean	DEBUG Debugging flag.
protected DataReferenceImpl	hi_ref High-resolution data reference.
protected DataReferenceImpl	lo_ref Low-resolution data reference.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
DualRes(DataReferenceImpl ref) Constructs an object to maintain both high- and low-resolution representations for the referenced data.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
DataReferenceImpl	getHighResReference() Gets the DataReference corresponding to the full-resolution data.
DataReferenceImpl	getLowResReference() Gets the DataReference corresponding to the scaled-down data.
double	getResolutionScale() Gets the factor by which the low-resolution representation is scaled down from the high-resolution one.
static FieldImpl	rescale(FieldImpl field, double scale) Rescales a field by the given scale factor.
static FieldImpl	rescale(FieldImpl field, int[] lengths) Rescales a field by the given scale factor.
void	setResolutionScale(double scale) Sets the factor by which the low-resolution representation is scaled down from the high-resolution one.
