GetBlobB Method

Description

Gets a Blob string of the current open Item, within a Coordinate Reference System.

Syntax

Public Function GetBlobB( _
   ByVal projection As String, _
   ByVal fmt As Integer, _
   ByVal precision As Integer _
) As Variant

Parameters

projection

The named Coordinate Reference System of the returned Blob data.

 

fmt

The format of the stored Item Blob.

SIS_BLOB_SIS_V6_ASCII	0 = Cadcorp SIS format.
SIS_BLOB_OGIS_WKB	1 = OGC Well-Known-Binary format
SIS_BLOB_OGIS_WKT	2 = OGC Well-Known-Text format
SIS_BLOB_OGIS_GML	3 = OGC Geographic Markup Language
SIS_BLOB_ESRI_SHP	4 = ESRI Shape (*.shp)
SIS_BLOB_SIS_BIN_ITEM	5 = Binary item
SIS_BLOB_GEOJSON	6 = Geographic Objects for JSON format

 

precision

This parameter is ignored and will always return 64-bit precision.

Return Type

A Variant containing an array of bytes that describe the current open Item in the chosen format.

Remarks

There is no limit on the length of Blob data arrays generated by SIS. There are however limits elsewhere: SIS datasets which read Blobs from data sources can use a fixed size communication buffer (use Cadcorp View Geometry Maximum Blob size properties to change the size of the communication buffer).

Available: GEO OD
