ENVIVector::Hydrate
Use the Hydrate static function method to create the object from its dehydrated form. The dehydrated form consists of a hash containing the object’s properties and values. The Hydrate and Dehydrate methods let you store the object state in memory and restore it later.
Representing an object as a hash is necessary for running ENVI analytics with the ENVI Task Engine.
See the ENVIHydrate function if you are creating a general IDL routine that will restore multiple object types.
For additional information, see What are Hydrate and Dehydrate routines used for?
Example
; Start the application
e = ENVI(/HEADLESS)
; Create an ENVIVector from the shapefile data
file = FILEPATH('states.shp', $
SUBDIRECTORY=['examples', 'data'])
vector = e.OpenVector(file)
; Retrieve the dehydrated hash
dehydratedForm = vector.Dehydrate()
vector.close
; Restore the object
newVector = ENVIVector.Hydrate(dehydratedForm)
Print, newVector, /IMPLIED_PRINT
Syntax
Result = ENVIVector.Hydrate(DehydratedForm, ERROR=value)
Return Value
The result is a reference to a new object instance of this virtual raster class.
Arguments
DehydratedForm
Key |
Description |
---|---|
factory |
Required. A string value of |
auxiliary_url | A string array containing the URLs for any auxiliary files associated with the vector file. This key is generated on output if auxiliary files exist. On input this key is ignored to allow ENVI::OpenVector to override various behaviors. |
url |
Required. A uniform resource locator (URL) identifying a vector file for use in ENVI processing. Example: "url" : "/usr/local/INSTALL_DIR/envi/data/natural_earth_vectors/airports.shp" |
stanag filenames |
A uniform resource locator (URL) identifying a string or an array of strings of STANAG 4676 Track Points files for use in ENVI. |
record_type | Value is IDLffShape Entities (type table). |
Keywords
ERROR
Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain any error message issued during execution of this routine. If no error occurs, the ERROR variable will be set to a null string (''
). If an error occurs and the routine is a function, then the function result will be undefined.
When this keyword is not set and an error occurs, ENVI returns to the caller and execution halts. In this case, the error message is contained within !ERROR_STATE and can be caught using IDL's CATCH routine. See IDL Help for more information on !ERROR_STATE and CATCH.
See Manage Errors for more information on error handling in ENVI programming.
