public class WfsV2AsyncLayer : WebBasedAsyncLayer, IHttpRequestService

Inheritance ObjectLayerBaseAsyncLayerWebBasedAsyncLayerWfsV2AsyncLayer
Implements IHttpRequestService

UserAgent

This property allows you to specify a custom user-agent request header when making requests to a Web server. This header provides information about the client application or device and can be useful for server-side logging and analytics.

public string UserAgent { get; set; }

Property Value

String

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 0. 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 0. This means the image should always display.

UpperScale

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

public double UpperScale { 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 0. This means the image should always display.

LowerScale

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

public double LowerScale { 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 0. This means the image should always display.

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

Boolean
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

Boolean
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

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

Single
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

Single
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

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

GreenTranslation

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

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

Boolean
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

Boolean
true to apply a grayscale filter; otherwise, 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.

ColorMappings

Gets the color translation map that will be applied when rendering the layer.
