<!– Class –> This layer can show or hide one or many zones that you want to restrict from being displayed. You can use the specified style to decorate the zones and set the lower/upper scale to control at which zoom levels you want to show or hide the zones. The default decoration style is a hatch pattern. You can change this to a circle with slash image, or, if you want a different look, you can use custom styles.

Create a copy of Layer using the deep clone process.

The difference between deep clone and shallow clone is as follows: In shallow cloning, only the object is copied; the objects within it are not. By contrast, deep cloning copies the cloned object as well as all the objects within.

This method closes the Layer and releases any resources it was using.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method CloseCore. The close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the Layer. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

If you override this method, it is recommended that you take the following things into account: This method may be called multiple times, so we suggest you write the method so that that a call to a closed Layer is ignored and does not generate an error. We also suggest that in the Close you free all resources that have been opened. Remember that the object will not be destroyed, but will be re-opened possibly in the near future.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

This method opens the Layer so that it is initialized and ready to use.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method OpenCore. The open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the Layer. Most methods on the Layer will throw an exception if the state of the Layer is not opened. When the map draws each layer, the layer will be opened as one of its first steps; then, after it is finished drawing with that layer, it will close it. In this way, we are sure to release all resources used by the Layer.

When implementing the abstract method, consider opening the FeatureSource or RasterSource. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the Layer.

Create a copy of Layer using the deep clone process. The default implemenation uses serialization.

The difference between deep clone and shallow clone is as follows: In shallow cloning, only the object is copied; the objects within it are not. By contrast, deep cloning copies the cloned object as well as all the objects within.

This method closes the Layer and releases any resources it was using.

This abstract method is called from the concrete public method Close. The close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the Layer. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

This method draws the Layer.

This abstract method is called from the concrete public method Draw. This method draws the representation of the layer based on the extent you provided.

When implementing this abstract method, consider each feature and its column data values. You can use the full power of the GeoCanvas to do the drawing. If you need column data for a feature, be sure to override the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore and add the columns you need to the collection. In many of the styles, we add properties to allow the user to specify which field they need; then, in the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore, we read that property and add it to the collection.

Allows you to add custom styles to decorate restriction zones. In this case, you must set RestrictionStyle to UseCustomStyles as well.

Gets or sets the DrawExcpetionMode when exception happens.

This property gets the last drawing time for the layer.

We track the drawing time for the layer and report it back in this method. This is useful for determining the speed of various layers.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.PortableCore.Layer –> Go Back

This property indicates whether a Layer has a BoundingBox or not. If it has no BoundingBox, it will throw an exception when you call the GetBoundingBox() and GetFullExtent() APIs.

The default value is false.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.PortableCore.Layer –> Go Back

This property gets and sets if the image should be converted to grayscale.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.PortableCore.Layer –> Go Back

This property gets and sets whether the image should be converted to negative (inverse colors).

This property returns true if the Layer is open and false if it is not.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method IsOpenCore. Various methods on the Layer require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, then the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the Layer Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current Layer is already open.

This property gets and set the visible state of the layer.

If this property is set to false, the layer will not draw. We ensure this in the Draw method. This is useful for legends and other controls that control the visibility of layers.

Specifies the lower threshold of the layer.

If Restriction mode is ShowZones:

If currentScale is less than <strong>LowerScale</strong>, it will hide the whole map; otherwise, it will show the specified zones.

If Restriction mode is HideZones:

if currentScale is less than or equal to UpperScale and greater than or equal to <strong>LowerScale</strong>, it will hide the specified zones; otherwise it will do nothing.
