WmsRasterLayer

Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core

Represents an object that encapsulates a Web Map Service (WMS) layer.

public class WmsRasterLayer : RasterLayer

Inheritance Object → Layer → RasterLayer → WmsRasterLayer

Remarks:

A Web Map Service (WMS) produces maps of spatially referenced data dynamically from geographic information. This International Standard defines a "map" to be a portrayal of geographic information as a digital image file suitable for display on a computer screen. A map is not the data itself. WMS-produced maps are generally rendered in a pictorial format such as PNG, GIF or JPEG, or occasionally as vector-based graphical elements in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or Web Computer Graphics Metafile (WebCGM) formats.

Properties

Uri

This property specifies the URI of the WMS server.

public Uri Uri { get; set; }

Property Value

Uri

ActiveLayerNames

This property represents the available layers that can be requested from the client and shown on the map.

Remarks:

When requesting a map, a client may specify the layers to be shown on the map.

ActiveStyleNames

This property represents the available styles that can be requested from the client and shown on the map.

public Collection<string> ActiveStyleNames { get; }

Property Value

Collection<String>

Remarks:

When requesting a map, a client may specify the styles to be shown on the map.

This property gets or sets the desired output format for the map requested from the WMS.

public string OutputFormat { get; set; }

Property Value

String

Remarks:

When requesting a map, a client may specify the output format in which to show the map. Format are specified as MIME types such as "image/gif" or "image/png".

Property Value

Boolean

Remarks:

The override in the WmsRasterLayer sets it to true.

AxisOrder

This property specifies the order in which the coordinate axes are arranged when making requests to a Web Map Service (WMS) server. It is used to define the spatial reference system for the layer.

The set for this property is protected and only intended to be used by developers who are creating their own ImageSources. This is the main property to set for developers who are creating their own RasterLayer derivatives.

UpperThreshold

This property gets and sets the upper threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

public double UpperThreshold { get; set; }

Property Value

Double
This property gets the upper threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

Remarks:

Above the upper threshold in scale, the image will not be displayed. This, in conjunction with the LowerThreshold property, allows you to create a band in which it is suitable to display the image source. By default, the upper threshold is double.max and lower threshold is double.min. This means the image should always display.

LowerThreshold

This property gets and sets the lower threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

public double LowerThreshold { get; set; }

Property Value

Double
This property gets the lower threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

Remarks:

Below the lower threshold in scale, the image will not be displayed. This, in conjunction with the UpperThreshold property, allows you to create a band in which it is suitable to display the image source. By default, the upper threshold is double.max and lower threshold is double.min. This means the image should always display.

ScaleFactor

The scale factor when drawing the primitive image. For example I am looking for an image with 100100px, If the ScaleFactor is set to 2, it means the component will get the image with 200200px. We want to keep it as 1 (by default) for most cases.

public double ScaleFactor { get; set; }

Property Value

Double

Projection

public Projection Projection { get; }

Property Value

Projection

IsOpen

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

public bool IsOpen { get; }

Property Value

Boolean

Remarks:

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.

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.

DrawingTime

This property gets the last drawing time for the layer.

public TimeSpan DrawingTime { get; protected set; }

Remarks:

The name is user defined. It is useful to set, as it may be used for higher level components such as legends, etc.

Property Value

String

IsVisible

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

public bool IsVisible { get; set; }
