ENVI_EVF_READ_RECORD

Use this function to retrieve records from an EVF. After you open the EVF with ENVI_EVF_OPEN (or ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE returns the EVF ID), you can retrieve the specified record. The function ENVI_EVF_INFO returns the number of records.

Syntax

Result = ENVI_EVF_READ_RECORD(EVF_ID, Record_number [, PARTS_PTR=value] [, TYPE=value])

Return Value

The return value is a [2, n] array of double-precision, floating-point values, where n is the number of points in the record. Result[0, *] contains the x values, and Result[1, *] contains the y values.

Arguments

EVF_ID

This is the EVF ID returned from ENVI_EVF_OPEN or ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE.

Record_number

This is the record number for the vector to retrieve. Record_number is a long integer from 0 to the total number of records minus one. The NUM_RECS value is retrieved using ENVI_EVF_INFO.

Keywords

PARTS_PTR (optional)

If you are working with multipart vectors (for example, a polygon that contains holes), the value of this keyword is the output of the PARTS_PTR keyword in the ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_ADD_RECORD routine.

TYPE (optional)

If you are working with multipart vectors, the possible values that will be returned for TYPE are as follows:

Example

See the code example under ENVI_EVF_CLOSE.
