Generate aggregated shapes for the visible extent using the current aggregation algorithm.
// C# public void Prepare( ITGIS_Extent _extent, WideString _query );
' VisualBasic Public Sub Prepare( ByVal _extent As ITGIS_Extent, ByVal _query As WideString )
// Oxygene public procedure Prepare( _extent : ITGIS_Extent; _query : WideString );
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _extent | ITGIS_Extent | View extent used to limit aggregation to visible shapes. |
| _query | WideString | Optional SQL (Structured Query Language) filter expression used to limit source shapes before aggregation. Empty means no filter. |
PURPOSE: Implement the core aggregation logic for visible vector features, such as clustering, binning, or other summary representations used during rendering.
BEHAVIOR: Abstract method implemented by descendants. It is called during the draw cycle and processes shapes within _extent that match _query. Use HideShape to suppress source shapes and AddShape to register aggregated output shapes.
CONSTRAINTS: Abstract method. Aggregated output registered here is valid only for the current draw cycle and is cleared after rendering completes.
