Updating Edge References

You can use the UpdateEdgeReference tag to apply a Masked or Truncated flag to the edges of a feature.

UpdateEdgeReference has the following attributes:

Flag: This tag will set the flag on an edge. There are three possible values for this :

Masked: Edge will be flagged as Masked.

Truncated: Edge will be flagged as Truncated.

None: Edge will have neither a Masked or Truncated flag. Existing flags will be removed.

The UpdateEdgeReference tag requires a <Filter> to identify the features to set the flag on.

The filter must contain the GeometrySharesSpatial rule, either using the ReportSharedSpatials or ReportUnsharedSpatials tags.

This filter will be applied on the destination map after all other mappings are completed.

Rules are applied in the order encountered, so in the example below an edge used by both a LNDARE and an M_COVR will be marked as Truncated (The S-57 specification does not allow setting both Truncated AND Masked flags at the same time.)

This example maps a CANALS feature to CANALS feature and sets the Masked flag if the edge is shared with a LNDARE or the Truncated flag if shared with a M_COVR :

<Object Acronym="CANALS">

  <MapObject>

    <MapObjectAcronym Acronym="CANALS"/>

      <UpdateEdgeReference Flag="Masked">

        <Filter>

          <GeometrySharesSpatial ReportSharedSpatials="True">

            <Filter>

                <ObjectAcronymIsEqualTo Acronym="LNDARE"/>

            </Filter>

          </GeometrySharesSpatial>

        </Filter>

      </UpdateEdgeReference>

      <UpdateEdgeReference Flag="Truncated">

        <Filter>

          <GeometrySharesSpatial ReportSharedSpatials="True">

            <Filter>

              <ObjectAcronymIsEqualTo Acronym="M_COVR"/>

            </Filter>

          </GeometrySharesSpatial>

        </Filter>

      </UpdateEdgeReference>

  </MapObject>

</Object>
