how to retrieve simple features from entities
how to retrieve simple features from entities
hi,
i am new with the use of this library. i need to convert a dwg into a simpler model composed of simple polygons, polylines and points dwg files in 2d (on shape files). i look at the documentation and see three way to retrieve geometric information.
the entity way : retrieve entities and extract for each one of them the information related to it. this is called "the long and painful way".
the worlddraw way : retrieve entities and extract only the geometry from it in a worlddraw call. interesting but is there a way to retrieve only polygon, polylines, text and pointsfrom the odgiworldgeometry?
the renderer way : looking in this forum in the thread "true type fonts in vectorizeex" explain we could remove everything from the odgigeometrysimplifier to keep only polylineproc() and polygonproc(). all i have to do is to use a renderer (exrender, svg exports, etc) and transpose this geometry. however, i would like to keep an access to the oddbentity objects (to access non-geometry information around it) and i would like to sort these entities using the layer name. is it possible?
regards

worlddraw way with possibility to get only defined set of primitives is the render way.

yes, it is possible. layer accessible through the traits (see samples), entity id accessible through oddbobjectid(drawcontext()->currentdrawabledesc()->persistid). function odgibasevectorizer::drawcontext() returns pointer to draw context (odgiconveyorcontext instantiation).

so, the best way is...

so you suggest me to use the worlddraw on entities. i have already some code written to handle entities. what i presume in my implementation is odgiworldgeometry methods could call a odgigeometrysimplifier class containing an implementation managing simple geometric types. is it a correct approch?
best regards and thanks for the quick reply.

odgigeometrysimplifier implements odgiconveyorgeometry interface. classes odgibasevectorizer and odgsbasevectorizeview implement a hook from odgiworldgeometry/odgiviewportgeometry to odgiconveyorgeometry interfaces. so i think it is good for you to look into odvectorizeex sample .
