Layer

Inheritance: EventListener > Layer

The Layer class is the base class of all layers available in the SDK.

See understanding the layers architecture

Summary
Layer
Inheritance: EventListener > Layer
Constructors
Layer
The Layer constructor.
Methods
disableAutoRedraw
Remove the automatic redraw of the layer.
NOTE:
Enable the layer auto redraw if you use a small amount of shapes
If you have a massive use of shapes in your layer it’s recommended to call the redraw method manually after any change in the layer.
enableAutoRedraw
Sets the layer to be automatically redrawn after each change of its content.
NOTE:
Enable the layer auto redraw if you use a small amount of shapes
If you have a massive use of shapes in your layer it’s recommended to call the redraw method manually after any change in the layer.
getMaxZoom
Returns the maximum zoom level the layer can be shown.
getMinZoom
Returns the minimum zoom level the layer can be shown.
getName
Returns the name of the layer.
getType
Returns the type of the layer.
hide
Hides the layer from the map.
isAutoRedrawEnabled
Returns true if the layer’s automatic redraw is active, false if inactive.
isVisible
Returns true if the layer is visible, or false if the layer is invisible.
redraw
Redraw the layer.
setMaxZoom
Sets the maximum zoom level the layer can be shown.
setMinZoom
Sets the minimum zoom level the layer can be shown.
show
Shows the layer above the map.
Constants
Layers Type
Layer. TYPE_MAP_LAYER
Represent a layer.
Layer. TYPE_VECTOR_LAYER
Represent a vector layer.
Layer. TYPE_LAYERS_COLLECTION
Represent a layers collection.
Layer. TYPE_LAYERS_MANAGER
Represent a layers manager.

Constructors

Layer

Layer(string name)

The Layer constructor.  Creates a new Layer instance.

Parameters

nameThe name of the new layer.

Methods

disableAutoRedraw

disableAutoRedraw()

Remove the automatic redraw of the layer.
NOTE:
Enable the layer auto redraw if you use a small amount of shapes
If you have a massive use of shapes in your layer it’s recommended to call the redraw method manually after any change in the layer.  For example, if you need to add 5000 shapes to the layer, it’s recommended to call the addShape 5000 times and than to call manually to the redraw method.

Parameters

maxZoomA new maximum zoom level for the layer.
