GraticuleFeatureLayer¶
Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core
GraticuleFeatureLayer shows Meridians and Parallels displaying through the map. Meridians are lines of longitude and they have a North South orientation. Parallels are lines of latitude and they have an East West orientation. Showing graticule for latitude and longitude is a standard way in cartography to give spatial references to the users.
public class GraticuleFeatureLayer : FeatureLayer, IFeatureLayer
Inheritance object → LayerBase → Layer → FeatureLayer → GraticuleFeatureLayer
Implements IFeatureLayer
Properties¶
GraticuleLineStyle¶

Property Value¶
EditTools¶
This property gets the EditTools that allow you to easily edit InternalFeatures in the Feature Layer.
public EditTools EditTools { get; protected set; }
Property Value¶
Remarks:
The EditTools are supplied as an easily accessible wrapper for the editing methods of the FeatureSource.
FeatureIdsToExclude¶
A collection of strings representing record id of features not to get in the Layer.
public Collection<string> FeatureIdsToExclude { get; }
Property Value¶
Remarks:
This string collection is a handy place to specify what records not to get from the source. Suppose you have a shape file of roads and you want to hide the roads within a particular rectangle, simply execute GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBox() and add the id of the return features to the collection and forget about them. Since you can set this by Layer it makes is easy to determine what to and what not to.
QueryTools¶
This property gets the QueryTools that allow you to easily query Features from the Feature Layer.
public QueryTools QueryTools { get; protected set; }
Property Value¶
Remarks:
Feature Layer. The QueryTools are supplied as an easily accessible wrapper for the query methods of the FeatureSource.
MaxRecordsToDraw¶
Gets or sets the maximum number of features that may be rendered per draw call.
public int MaxRecordsToDraw { get; set; }
Property Value¶
FeatureSource¶
This property gets the FeatureSource for the FeatureLayer.
public FeatureSource FeatureSource { get; set; }
Property Value¶
FeatureSource
This property gets the FeatureSource for the FeatureLayer.
Remarks:
The FeatureSource is the provider of data to the FeatureLayer. There are different FeatureSource classes to match the various ways that feature data is stored. It is important that, when you inherit from the FeatureLayer, in the constructor you set the FeatureSource you want to use.
DrawingQuality¶
This property gets and sets the general drawing quality for the FeatureLayer's view.
public DrawingQuality DrawingQuality { get; set; }
Property Value¶
This property gets the general drawing quality for the FeatureLayer's
Remarks:
The DrawingQuality enumeration allows you to control, in a macro sense, the drawing quality that will be used in the GeoCanvas. Each GeoCanvas, which is responsible for drawing of the features, may have its own specialized drawing quality properties. What the DrawingQuality enumeration does is define some general guidelines for each GeoCanvas. For example, if you set the DrawingQuality to HighSpeed, then inside of the PlatformGeoCanvas there is a profile for HighSpeed. This profile sets specific properties, such as the smoothing mode and composing drawing mode of the PlatformGeoCanvas. As each GeoCanvas may have different drawing quality properties, this offers a general way to control drawing quality and speed.
If you need complete control over how a specific GeoCanvas will draw, then you can set the DrawingQuality to Custom. This will tell the specific GeoCanvas to use the properties on its own object instead of one of the pre-defined profiles. If one of the profiles -- such as HighSpeed or HighQuality -- is set, then the specific GeoCanvas ignores its own properties for drawing quality.
ZoomLevelSet¶
This property gets and sets the ZoomLevelSet, which contains the specific zoom levels for the FeatureLayer.
public ZoomLevelSet ZoomLevelSet { get; set; }
Property Value¶
This property gets the ZoomLevelSet, which contains the specific zoom levels for
the FeatureLayer.
Remarks:
The ZoomLevelSet is a class that contains all of the ZoomLevels for the FeatureLayer. Each ZoomLevel contains the styles that are used to determine how to draw the InternalFeatures.

Gets or sets the labeling strategy to apply when drawing this layer.
public LabelDisplayMode LabelDisplayMode { get; set; }
Property Value¶
DrawingMarginInPixel¶
Gets or sets the pixel margin applied when requesting data for this layer.
public float DrawingMarginInPixel { get; set; }
Property Value¶
RequestDrawingInterval¶
Gets or sets the interval between automatic draw requests. Obsolete.
public TimeSpan RequestDrawingInterval { get; set; }
Property Value¶
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.
DrawingExceptionMode¶
Gets or sets how drawing exceptions are handled when the layer renders.
public DrawingExceptionMode DrawingExceptionMode { get; set; }
Property Value¶
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¶

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¶
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¶
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.
