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)
 
; Open an input file
file = FILEPATH('qb_boulder_msi', ROOT_DIR=e.ROOT_DIR, $
  SUBDIRECTORY = ['data'])
raster = e.OpenRaster(file)
 
; Get the 
; NAD_1983_StatePlane_Colorado_North_FIPS_0501_Feet
; coordinate system
CoordSys = ENVICoordSys(COORD_SYS_CODE=2231)
 
; Process a spatial subset
Subset = ENVISubsetRaster(Raster, Sub_Rect=[600,200,799,399])
 
; created a reprojected raster
ReprojectedImage = ENVIReprojectRaster(Subset, $
  COORD_SYS=CoordSys, RESAMPLING='Bilinear')
 
; Retrieve the dehydrated hash
dehydratedForm = ReprojectedImage.Dehydrate()
ReprojectedImage.close
 
; Restore the object
newImage = ENVIReprojectRaster.Hydrate(dehydratedForm)
Print, newImage, /IMPLIED_PRINT

Syntax


Result = ENVIReprojectRaster.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 ReprojectRaster indicating what object type the hash represents.

input_raster

Required. The input ENVIRaster for use in ENVI processing. Example:

"input_raster": {
   "url": "/usr/local/INSTALL_DIR/envi/data/qb_boulder_msi",
   "factory": "URLRaster"
}

coord_sys

Required. The ENVICoordSys object representing the coordinate system in which to transform the image. Example:

"coord_sys" : {
   "factory" : "CoordSys",
   "coord_sys_code" : 20354
   }

See ENVICoordSys::Dehydrate for more information.

name

A string that identifies the raster.

resampling

The resampling method. Set to Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear, or Cubic Convolution. Example:

"resampling": "Nearest Neighbor"

Keywords


ERROR (optional)

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.
