ASCIIToROI Task
This task creates a single ROI from the geometry of a columned ASCII file.
Example
This example opens a column-delimited ASCII file containing meteorological data for 15 weather stations. The first column contains geographic longitudes, and the second column contains latitudes. The ASCII data are converted to ROI points and displayed on top of a shaded-relief image.
; Start the application
e = envi()
; Open an ASCII file
ASCIIFile = FILEPATH('ascii.txt', $
SUBDIRECTORY = ['examples', 'data'])
; Open a shaded relief image
ImageFile = Filepath('natural_earth_shaded_relief.jp2', $
Subdir=['data'], Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Image = e.OpenRaster(ImageFile)
; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks
Task = ENVITask('ASCIIToROI')
; Define inputs
Task.INPUT_URI = ASCIIFile
Task.LINES_TO_SKIP = 5
Task.ROI_NAME = 'Weather stations'
; Specify column 1 for X coordinate and
; column 2 for Y coordinate
Task.DATA_COLUMNS = [1,2]
; Run the task
Task.Execute
; Display the result
View = e.GetView()
Layer = View.CreateLayer(Image)
roiLayer = Layer.AddROI(Task.OUTPUT_ROI)
Extent = Task.OUTPUT_ROI.GetExtent(Image)
View.SetExtent, Extent, DATA=Layer
Syntax
Result = ENVITask('ASCIIToROI')
Input properties (Set, Get): COORD_SYS, DATA_COLUMNS, GEOMETRY_TYPE, INPUT_URI, LINES_TO_SKIP, OUTPUT_ROI_URI, ROI_COLOR, ROI_NAME
Output properties (Get only): OUTPUT_ROI
Properties marked as "Set" are those that you can set to specific values. You can also retrieve their current values any time. Properties marked as "Get" are those whose values you can retrieve but not set.

Properties
This task inherits the following properties from ENVITask:
This task also contains the following properties:
COORD_SYS (optional)
Specify the input coordinate system of the incoming geometry.
DATA_COLUMNS (required)
Specify an integer array with the column numbers corresponding to X and Y geometry data. The X column contains longitudes or eastings. The Y column contains latitudes or northings. For example, if the third column of the ASCII file contains longitudes and the fourth column contains latitudes, set DATA_COLUMNS to [3, 4].
GEOMETRY_TYPE (optional)
Specify a string indicating the geometry type. The choices are:
PolygonPolylinePoint(default)
INPUT_URI (required)
Specify the fully qualified URI to an input ASCII file that contains the geometry records.
LINES_TO_SKIP (optional)
Specify the number of lines to skip at the beginning of the ASCII file.
OUTPUT_ROI
This is a reference to the output ROI.
OUTPUT_ROI_URI (optional)
Specify a string with the fully qualified path and filename for OUTPUT_ROI.
ROI_COLOR (optional)
Specify a three-element byte array with the color of the output ROI; for example: [0, 128, 0].
ROI_NAME (optional)
Specify a string with the name of the output ROI.
