I can think of two ways....
a) Quick
1. Right now the selection tool simply updates the layer.setFilter( filter ).
It does so pretty blindly with no thought or processing.
2. You could make a FilterVisitor to go through that filter and extract the
Geometry or ReferencedEnvelope used
3. You could then turn that into some kind of raster clipping area thing that
you could use for a) a quick histogram or b) copy an image to the clipboard
etc...
b) Clean
If you think about step 1 above the tool does two things:
- allows the user to draw a geometry (in this case a simple box)
- processes that geometry into a Filter for the layer
If we spit that functionality into two we will have a chance to save out the
geometry cleanly; indeed we could place the geometry on the layer blackboard
and only bother to make a Filter with it if there is a FeatureSource around.
-- code review --
1. The BBoxSelection tool has the
command = new BBoxSelectionCommand(bounds, BBoxSelectionCommand.NONE);
2. BBoxSelectionCommand turns around and calls ...
3. MapImpl.select
public void select( Envelope boundingBox ) {
Layer selected = getEditManagerInternal().getSelectedLayer();
LAYERS: for( Layer layer : getLayersInternal() ) {
if (layer == selected) {
Filter newFilter = layer.createBBoxFilter(boundingBox, null);
if (newFilter == null)
continue LAYERS;
layer.setFilter(newFilter);
} else {
layer.setFilter(Filter.EXCLUDE);
}
}
notifyBatchNotification(ProjectPackage.LAYER__FILTER, Notification.SET);
}
So we could either:
- updated this code to place the boundingBox on the layer blackboard; or
- provide a layer.setSelected( ReferencedEnvelope ) and layer.setSelected(
Geometry ) method and make the MapImpl a bit more simple
