Interface ICWFGM VectorEngine.
Vector data is provided to the simulation engine by the client application. The simulation engine defines the interface it will use to obtain the vector fuel break data. The simulation engine is not concerned with the kind of object that implements this interface, or the implementation of the object. It may represent the GIS vector-based data, a user-defined static vector fuelbreak, or a user-controlled break that changes over time, or some other object a programmer has built to access a specialized data set. The simulation engine does not define any object that implements this interface. The simulation engine only defines the interface. Objects that implement this interface should import this interface definition. The object implementing this interface is to be handled entirely by the client application (such as CWFGM). Methods to import vector data or manage vector filters are not found on this COM interface, as the simulation engine has no need for these methods. This design takes advantage of object-oriented methodologies to simplify both the design of the simulation engine, and the integration of the simulation engine into another application. For example, to provide data from a G.I.S. directly to the simulation engine, the programmer only needs to define an object that implements this interface and communicates with the G.I.S. Unlike ICWFGM_GridEngine interface objects that must be chained (layered) together to attain the appropriate grid layer for the simulation, objects implementing this interface don't replace or override other vector object data, they are only combined. As such, the order is unimportant so there are no methods to chain ICWFGM_VectorEngine objects together here. The simulation's scenario object can use many ICWFGM_VectorEngine objects simultaneously. At this time, the simulation engine assumes that fuel breaks defined by this interface have 100% effect on the fire; the fire will not escape the confines of a vector fuel break.
The IDL of the vector object required by the simulation engine is given below. Program developers are encouraged to obtain the latest electronic copy of the programming tools from the resources listed at the end of this document.
| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::GetAttribute | ( | [in] unsigned short | option, |

This method allows the simulation engine to scan forward or back (based on flags) from a given time for the next time-based event. This is important for the event-driven nature of the simulation.

|
| from_time | A GMT time provided as seconds since January 1st, 1600. |
| next_event | A GMT time provided as seconds since January 1st, 1600, representing the time for the next event, based on 'flags'. |

| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::MT_Lock | ( | [in] unsigned short | exclusive, |
| [in] unsigned short | obtain | ||
| ) |
Changes the state of the object with respect to access rights. When the object is used by an active simulation, it must not be modified. When the object is somehow modified, it must be done so in an atomic action to prevent concerns with arising from multithreading. Note that these locks are primarily needed to ensure that data contributing during a simulation is not modified while the simulation is executing.
All routines in the ICWFGM_VectorEngine interface are necessarily NOT multithreading safe (for performance) but other interfaces for a given COM object implementing this interface must be by specification.
| exclusive | TRUE if the requester wants a write lock, false for read/shared access |
| obtain | TRUE to obtain the lock, FALSE to release the lock. If this is FALSE, then the 'exclusive' parameter must match the initial call used to obtain the lock. |
| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::PostCalculationEvent | ( | [in] unsigned __int64 | time, |
| [in] unsigned long | mode | ||
| ) |
This method is invoked after all calculations are performed in the simulation, and after calculations are performed on a given simulation time step. It's intended to perform post-calculation clean-up, etc.
| time | A GMT time provided as seconds since January 1st, 1600. |
| mode | Calculation mode: 0 represents start of simulation, 1 represents start of a specific time step |
| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::PreCalculationEvent | ( | [in] unsigned __int64 | time, |
| [in] unsigned long | mode | ||
| ) |
This method is invoked before any calculations are performed in the simulation, and before calculations are performed on a given simulation time step. It's intended to perform pre-calculation caching events, etc.
| time | A GMT time provided as seconds since January 1st, 1600. |
| mode | Calculation mode: 0 represents start of simulation, 1 represents start of a specific time step |
| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::SetAttribute | ( | [in] unsigned short | option, |
| [in] VARIANT | value | ||
| ) |
Sets the value for the attribute denoted by "option".
| option | The attribute to change. |
| value | The value to set the attribute to. |
| ICWFGM_VectorEngine::Valid | ( | [in] unsigned __int64 | start_time, |
| [in] __int64 | duration | ||
| ) |
This method returns whether this vector object has been initialized,and whether it contains all data necessary for a simulation for the simulation time identified by start_time and duration. If start_time and duration are both 0, then this method only returns whether the object is initialized. The invoked object is allowed to perform a variety of other operations and method calls to initialize and validate, and possibly cache data.
| start_time | Start time of the simulation. A GMT time provided as seconds since January 1st, 1600. |
| duration | Duration of the simulation, in seconds. |
|
getsetproperty |
Sets or retrieves the object exposing the GridEngine interface that this VectorEngine object may refer to, to use for tasks such as bounds clipping, etc.
| pVal | Value of GridEngine. |
| newVal | Replacement value for GridEngine. |
|
getsetproperty |
This property is unused by this object, and is available for exclusive use by the client code. It is a VARIANT value to ensure that the client code can store a pointer value (if it chooses) for use in manual subclassing this object. This value is not loaded or saved during serialization operations, and it is the responsibility of the client code to manage any value or object stored here. Access to this property is not thread-safe.
| pVal | Value of UserData. |
| newVal | Replacement value for UserData. |
