AdornmentLayer

Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core

This is the base class of AdornmentLayers. The AdornmentLayer is used to place adornments on the map. Two types of AdornmentLayers are provided: ScaleLineAdornmentLayer and ScaleBarAdornmentLayer.

public abstract class AdornmentLayer : Layer

Inheritance objectLayerBaseLayerAdornmentLayer

Properties

Width

Gets or sets the adornment width in pixels. Deprecated; use .

public float Width { get; set; }

Property Value

float

ResizeScale

Gets or sets the resize scale applied to the adornment layer.

public float ResizeScale { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Remarks:

A value of 1 preserves the original size; values greater than 1 enlarge; values less than 1 shrink.

Height

Gets or sets the adornment height in pixels. Deprecated; use .

public float Height { get; set; }

Property Value

float

UpdateWhilePanning

Whether to update the AdornmentLayer while panning the map

public bool UpdateWhilePanning { get; }

Property Value

bool

DragMode

Gets or sets how the adornment responds to drag operations.

public AdornmentDragMode DragMode { get; set; }

Property Value

AdornmentDragMode

ResizeMode

public AdornmentResizeMode ResizeMode { get; set; }

Property Value

AdornmentResizeMode

BackgroundMask

Gets or sets the fill/outline style drawn behind the adornment content.

public AreaStyle BackgroundMask { get; set; }

Property Value

AreaStyle

Location

This property gets and sets the drawing location of the AdornmentLayer.

public AdornmentLocation Location { get; set; }

Property Value

AdornmentLocation

XOffsetInPixel

This property gets and sets the X pixel offset for the AdornmentLayer.

public float XOffsetInPixel { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Remarks:

This property allows you to specify an X offset. It is useful, when combined with a Y offset, to do things like modify the location of the adornment.

YOffsetInPixel

This property gets and sets the Y pixel offset for the AdornmentLayer.

public float YOffsetInPixel { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Remarks:

This property allows you to specify a Y offset. It is useful, when combined with an X offset, to do things like modify the location of the adornment.

RequestDrawingInterval

Gets or sets the interval between automatic draw requests. Obsolete.

public TimeSpan RequestDrawingInterval { get; set; }

Property Value

TimeSpan

Name

Gets or sets the display name for the layer.

public string Name { get; set; }

Property Value

string
The name used to identify the layer within UI components such as legends.

Remarks:

The name is user defined. Assign a descriptive value so tooling such as legends and layer lists can surface a meaningful label to end users.

IsOpen

Gets a value indicating whether the layer is currently open.

public bool IsOpen { get; }

Property Value

bool
true if the layer has completed its open routine; otherwise, false.

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.

IsVisible

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the layer is visible.

public bool IsVisible { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to draw the layer; otherwise, false.

Remarks:

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.

DrawingTime

Gets the last recorded drawing time for the layer.

public TimeSpan DrawingTime { get; protected set; }

Property Value

TimeSpan
The duration of the most recent draw operation.

Remarks:

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.

Projection

Gets the projection of the layer.

public Projection Projection { get; set; }

Property Value

Projection

DrawingExceptionMode

Gets or sets how drawing exceptions are handled when the layer renders.

public DrawingExceptionMode DrawingExceptionMode { get; set; }

Property Value

DrawingExceptionMode

Background

Gets or sets the background color used when rendering the layer.

public GeoColor Background { get; set; }

Property Value

GeoColor
The fill applied to areas not covered by layer content.

Transparency

Gets or sets the amount of transparency applied to the rendered image.

public float Transparency { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between 0 (fully transparent) and 255 (fully opaque).

BlueTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the blue channel.

public float BlueTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the blue channel translation.

RedTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the red channel.

public float RedTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the red channel translation.

GreenTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the green channel.

public float GreenTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the green channel translation.

KeyColors

Gets the collection of key colors that should be rendered as transparent.

public Collection<GeoColor> KeyColors { get; }

Property Value

Collection<GeoColor>

Remarks:

Attempting to access this collection when the associated GeoCanvas does not support key colors (see GeoCanvas.SupportKeyColor) results in an exception. Add colors to this collection to ensure they render as transparent.

IsNegative

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the image should be rendered with inverted colors.

public bool IsNegative { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to invert the color channels; otherwise, false.

IsGrayscale

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the image should be converted to grayscale prior to rendering.

public bool IsGrayscale { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to apply a grayscale filter; otherwise, false.

HasBoundingBox

Gets a value indicating whether the layer supports retrieving its bounding box.

public bool HasBoundingBox { get; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks:

When this property is false, calls to or GetFullExtent throw an exception. The default implementation returns false.

ThreadSafe

Gets or sets the threading guarantees provided by the layer implementation.

public ThreadSafetyLevel ThreadSafe { get; set; }

Property Value

ThreadSafetyLevel
The level of thread safety that callers can expect when interacting with the layer.
