CARIS HIPS and SIPS : CARIS Batch Utility : Compose Processes : Assign Sounding SCAMIN Values
 

Assign Sounding SCAMIN Values

Description

The AssignSoundingSCAMINValues process calculates minimum display scale (SCAMIN) values for S‑57 sounding features using specified parameters.

Inputs

Features in a supported format. HOB, 000 (S‑57 specification) are supported.

Outputs

Features in HOB format with assigned SCAMIN values.

Command Line Syntax

carisbatch --run AssignSoundingSCAMINValues --feature-catalogue <value> --scaling-parameters-file <value> [options] <input> <output>

User Interface Command

Assign Scale Minimum Values

The following table describes the parameters available for this process.

Description

Notes

--feature-catalogue

F

A string specifying the name of the catalogue that defines the features and attributes in a vector dataset. One of list dynamically populated from the catalogue control file.

The names of the available catalogues can be accessed through application via the Object Catalogue environment variable in Tools > Options. The available catalogues are controlled by the Catalogue Control file. An example of a catalogue name is "S‑57 ENC 3.1".

FALSE

This must be explicitly specified.

--map-scale

M

A number specifying the scale of the input map (1:scale). This is only needed for HOB format.

This parameter is required when the input is in HOB format since HOB files do not have a scale. This parameter is ignored when the input is in S‑57 format since S‑57 format has a scale.

FALSE

--scaling-parameters-file

P

The path to the file specifying parameters for the calculation of SCAMIN values.

Parameters are:

minimum depth, maximum depth and radius values for sounding suppression

scale factors for calculation of SCAMIN values

optional compilation scale multiplier for calculation of SCAMIN values

For details, see the Compose support files section in the Compose module documentation or the sample files (sdgparm.txt and sdgparm_S-65.txt) included with the Compose module.

FALSE

This must be explicitly specified.

Example 1

To use this command refer to the following examples.

Example

Objective

You want to apply SCAMIN values to soundings in a HOB file.

Description

Command Line Syntax

The input has features and attributes defined in the S-57 ENC 3.1 feature catalogue.

--feature-catalogue "S-57 ENC 3.1"

The map scale of the input file is 1:10000

--map-scale 10000

The scaling parameters file is named sdgparm.txt.

--scaling-parameters-file sdgparm.txt

The input HOB file is named gb4x0000_in.hob and is located in D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000_in.hob

The input HOB file is named gb4x0000_out.hob and is located in D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000_out.hob

Command Line

carisbatch --run AssignSoundingScaminValues --feature-catalogue "S-57 ENC 3.1" --map-scale 10000 --scaling-parameters-file sdgparm.txt D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000_in.hob D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000_out.hob

Outcome

SCAMIN values are added to soundings in the input HOB file and saved as a new HOB file.

Example 2

Example

Objective

You want to apply SCAMIN values to soundings in a .000 file.

Description

Command Line Syntax

The input has features and attributes defined in the S-57 ENC 3.1 feature catalogue.

--feature-catalogue "S-57 ENC 3.1"

The scaling parameters file is named sdgparm_S‑65.txt.

--scaling-parameters-file sdgparm_S‑65.txt

The input .000 file is named gb4x0000.000 and is located in D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000.000

The input HOB file is named gb4x0000_out.hob and is located in D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000.hob

Command Line

carisbatch --run AssignSoundingScaminValues --feature-catalogue "S-57 ENC 3.1" --scaling-parameters-file sdgparm_S-65.txt D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000.000 D:\BatchSample\gb4x0000.hob

Outcome

SCAMIN values are added to soundings in the input .000 file and saved as a new HOB file.
