WfsV2CompositeAsyncLayer

Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core

Represents a web layer that draws a composite WFS 2.0 feature type: records whose geometry belongs to objects of another type, related by a reference.

public class WfsV2CompositeAsyncLayer : WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer, IHttpRequestService

Inheritance object → LayerBase → AsyncLayer → AsyncFeatureLayer → WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer → WfsV2CompositeAsyncLayer
Implements IHttpRequestService

Remarks:

The service is read through a WfsV2CompositeAsyncFeatureSource, so the map draws one feature per record, with the record's attributes for styles and labels, and queries on WfsV2CompositeAsyncLayer.FeatureSource see the same features the map draws.

Properties

FeatureSource

Gets the source the layer reads the service through.

public AsyncFeatureSource FeatureSource { get; }

Property Value

AsyncFeatureSource

HasBoundingBox

Gets whether the service advertises an extent for this type, which is what zooming to the layer needs. The composite type is taken first, the component type when it has none.

public bool HasBoundingBox { get; }

Property Value

bool

ServiceLocationUrl

Gets or sets the base URL of the WFS service.

public string ServiceLocationUrl { get; set; }

Property Value

string

TypeName

Gets or sets the composite feature type to draw.

public string TypeName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Relation

Gets or sets how the records are related to the components their geometry belongs to.

public WfsComponentRelation Relation { get; set; }

Property Value

WfsComponentRelation

WfsAxisOrder

Gets or sets the axis order used when reading coordinates from the service.

public WfsAxisOrder WfsAxisOrder { get; set; }

Property Value

WfsAxisOrder

Crs

Gets or sets the CRS features are requested in.

public string Crs { get; set; }

Property Value

string

HttpClient

Gets or sets the client the source sends with. Left unset, the source makes one from WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer.HttpMessageHandler, WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer.WebProxy, WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer.Credentials and WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer.TimeoutInSeconds when it opens and disposes it when it closes; one set here belongs to the caller and is left alone.

public HttpClient HttpClient { get; set; }

Property Value

HttpClient

HttpMessageHandler

Gets or sets the handler the source builds its own client around.

public HttpMessageHandler HttpMessageHandler { get; set; }

Property Value

HttpMessageHandler

WebProxy

Gets or sets the proxy the source sends through.

public IWebProxy WebProxy { get; set; }

Property Value

IWebProxy

TimeoutInSeconds

Gets or sets how long the source waits for a response, in seconds.

public int TimeoutInSeconds { get; set; }

Property Value

int

Credentials

Gets or sets the credentials the source sends with.

public ICredentials Credentials { get; set; }

Property Value

ICredentials

UserAgent

Gets or sets the User-Agent header the source sends.

public string UserAgent { get; set; }

Property Value

string

UpperScale

Gets or sets the largest scale at which the layer is drawn. Beyond it nothing is requested. AsyncFeatureLayer.ZoomLevelSet bands the styles by zoom level already; this is a blunt cut-off on top of it.

public double UpperScale { get; set; }

Property Value

double

LowerScale

Gets or sets the smallest scale at which the layer is drawn. See WebBasedAsyncFeatureLayer.UpperScale.

public double LowerScale { get; set; }

Property Value

double

ConcurrentAccess

Gets or sets how this layer behaves when more than one thread wants to draw it at once. This is its AsyncFeatureLayer.FeatureSource's value, exactly as FeatureLayer does it.

public ConcurrentAccess ConcurrentAccess { get; set; }

Property Value

ConcurrentAccess

ZoomLevelSet

Gets or sets the styles used to draw this layer, banded by zoom level.

public ZoomLevelSet ZoomLevelSet { get; set; }

Property Value

ZoomLevelSet

DrawingMarginInPixel

Gets or sets how far beyond the visible extent features are requested, in pixels.

public float DrawingMarginInPixel { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Remarks:

A margin keeps symbols and labels that straddle the edge of the view from being clipped. FeatureLayer defaults to 50 because widening a query against a local file costs almost nothing; here the default is 0, because every pixel of margin is extra extent a remote source has to answer for on every redraw. Raise it when clipped symbols at the edge of the view matter more than the traffic.

ProjectionConverter

Gets or sets the converter applied between the source's coordinate system and the map's.

public ProjectionConverter ProjectionConverter { get; set; }

Property Value

ProjectionConverter

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.

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).

Opacity

Gets or sets the opacity applied to the rendered image.

public float Opacity { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (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.

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.

Remarks:

Replaced by LayerBase.ConcurrentAccess and kept only so that code written against it is told, by name, what to use instead. It does not compile, so there is never a question of which of the two a caller meant: there is one value, and it is the other one. That matters because the translation was lossy in one direction - writing ThreadSafetyLevel.Unsafe could only pick ConcurrentAccess.UnsafeLock, and would silently undo a layer or source that had said ConcurrentAccess.UnsafeClone.

ColorMappings

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

public Dictionary<GeoColor, GeoColor> ColorMappings { get; }

Property Value

Dictionary<GeoColor, GeoColor>

WrappingMode

Gets or sets how the layer wraps when the map extent crosses world boundaries.

public WrappingMode WrappingMode { get; set; }

Property Value

WrappingMode

WrappingExtent

Gets or sets the geographic extent to use when wrapping is enabled.

public RectangleShape WrappingExtent { get; set; }

Property Value

RectangleShape
