FAQs

What is the purpose of this class?

This class provides FGDC-compatible metadata in the form of a graphical representation that illustrates the content of its containing SEDRIS object (e.g. Transmittal Root, Model, Image, etc.) Its purpose is to allows a potential user of that object to easily asses its utility.

How is the graphic encoded? What format(s) can be used?

The graphic itself is contained in an external file that is associated with a SEDRIS transmittal. This file is referenced by the Browse Graphic object via its file name and path. A variety of graphic formats is supported. The list of specific formats is defined by the SE_GRAPHIC_FORMAT_ENUM type (see below).
