Class CMLayer extends CMItem
CMLayer
This class is the base class for all other layers. This class contains functions and properties for feature and raster based
classes. This is because the CMLayerPyramid supports both raster and vector data. This also may be a trend with data formats like KML.
Adds:
- Zooming: Min, Max, To Bounds
- Metadata
- InfoText popup balloon
- Painting Marks, labels, and icon images for point data
- Mouse over and selected styles
- Settings for features
- Getting and setting attributes
- Bounds of features

Object Functions
Object Functions
Bounds=GetBounds()
Override GetBounds so the bounds are not computed but are instead set into SetBounds() by the layer or its dataset.
Returns: Bounds - with format {XMin,XMax,YMin,YMax}
SetBounds(NewBounds)
Check if the feature is visible in the view.
This should be called by subclasses but can also be called to limit a layer's bounds after loading.
Parameters:
NewBounds - Object for Bounds with format {XMin,XMax,YMin,YMax}
SetSelectedFeature(NewFeatureIndex)
Sets the feature that is selected
Parameters:
NewFeatureIndex - >=0 indicates a feature, -1 is for none.
SetMouseOverFeature(NewFeatureIndex)
Sets the current feature that the mouse is over
Parameters:
NewFeatureIndex - index to the feature the mouse is over (typcially returned by In()). -1 for none
MouseOverFeatureIndex=GetMouseOverFeature()
Gets the current feature that the mouse is over
Returns: MouseOverFeatureIndex - index to the feature the mouse is over (typcially returned by In()). 1 for none
SetSettingAttribute(Key, Value)
Set the attribute column to obtain property values for features from
Parameters:
Key - on of the CMLayer.INFO enumerated types
Value - Heading of the column to extract values from.
SetFeatureSettings(FeatureIndex, FeatureProperties)
Set the feature settings into an array indexed by FeatureIndexes
Parameters:
FeatureIndex - Index to the feature
FeatureProperties - array of properties indexed by the feature indexes
SetFeatureSetting(Key, FeatureIndex, Value)
Set an individual feature property based on it's FeatureIndex
Parameters:
Key - on of the CMLayer.INFO enumerated types
FeatureIndex - Feature to apply the property to
Value - value for the property for the feature
Value=GetFeatureSetting(Key, FeatureIndex, Default)
Returns a property for a specific feature. Returns null if the property
is not specified for the feature.
Parameters:
Key - on of the CMLayer.INFO enumerated types
FeatureIndex - Feature to apply the property to
Default - The default value to return if the property has not been specified.
Returns: Value - value for the property for the feature
SetProjector()
RequestData()
Called to obtain the data for the layer from a URL.
Only used by layers that set a URL for data
