Previously, coordinate systems in a DataSet simply pointed to field data specifying the coordinate information (although the ability to get that back out of the DataSet was missing). This makes sense since point coordinates are in fact just fields with a particular semantic meaning to them. However, there is an issue with this approach. It turns out that there are special representations that are very common for point coordinates and very uncommon for other types of fields. For example, a uniform (a.k.a. regular or image) grid has point coordinates that are easily derived from the point index, but such fields are quite uncommon elsewhere. Representing this kind of structure in the Field list of a DataSet is problematic. Either all fields have to check to see if they are this type, which will cause an explosion of unnecessary generated code, or you will have to actually write out the coordinates in memory, which is really wasteful but what was done previously. However, by storing fields representing coordinate systems in a separate batch, we can use these special types without the stated explosion. |
