Member Function Documentation

◆ addObserver()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::addObserver ( std::shared_ptr< ILayerObserver > layerObserver )

overridevirtual

Adds an observer that allows to receive change events from this layer.

Adding the same observer twice is forbidden, and will cause an exception to be thrown.

◆ isEditable()

bool luciad::FeatureLayer::isEditable ( ) const

Returns whether this layer is editable.

A layer is editable if it has an IFeatureEditConfiguration and if the editable flag is set.

Returns: whether this layer is editable.

See also: setEditable

Since: 2020.1

◆ isLabeled()

bool luciad::FeatureLayer::isLabeled ( ) const

Returns whether this layer displays labels.

Returns: whether this layer displays labels.

Since: 2020.2

◆ isQueryable()

bool luciad::FeatureLayer::isQueryable ( ) const

Returns whether the features of this layer can be returned in the Map::queryFeatures method.

Returns: whether the features of this layer can be returned in the Map::queryFeatures method.

Since: 2023.1

◆ isVisible()

bool luciad::FeatureLayer::isVisible ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns whether this layer is visible.

Returns: whether this layer is visible.

Implements luciad::Layer.

◆ newBuilder()

static Builder luciad::FeatureLayer::newBuilder ( )

static

Returns a new builder for creating a FeatureLayer.

Returns: a new builder for creating a FeatureLayer.

◆ propertyEditable()

static const std::string & luciad::FeatureLayer::propertyEditable ( )

static

Returns the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's editable flag.

Returns: the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's editable flag.

See also: setEditable

◆ propertyLabeled()

static const std::string & luciad::FeatureLayer::propertyLabeled ( )

static

Returns the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's labeled flag.

Returns: the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's labeled flag.

See also: setLabeled

Since: 2020.2

◆ propertyPainter()

static const std::string & luciad::FeatureLayer::propertyPainter ( )

static

Returns the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's IFeaturePainter.

Returns: the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's IFeaturePainter.

See also: setPainter

Since: 2023.1

◆ propertyQueryable()

static const std::string & luciad::FeatureLayer::propertyQueryable ( )

static

Returns the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's queryable flag.

Returns: the property name for the LayerEvent that is fired as a result of changing the layer's queryable flag.

See also: setQueryable

Since: 2023.1

◆ removeObserver()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::removeObserver ( const std::shared_ptr< ILayerObserver > & layerObserver )

overridevirtual

Removes the given observer.

If the given observer was never added, an exception is thrown.

Parameters

layerObserver an observer.

Exceptions

luciad::InvalidArgumentException	when the observer is not known.
luciad::NullArgumentException	when the observer is `nullptr`.

Implements luciad::Layer.

◆ setEditable()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setEditable ( bool editable )

Sets whether this layer is editable.

If the new value is different from the old one, a LayerEvent is delivered to the observers with the property name FeatureLayer::propertyEditable.

This flag is checked by the Editor when receiving events from the IFeatureEditCandidateProvider in conjunction with the model's IFeatureModelUpdater and the layer's IFeatureEditConfiguration.

This flag is true by default. This flag has no effect if the layer does not contain an IFeatureEditConfiguration or if the model's IFeatureModelUpdater is missing.

Parameters

editable the new value for this property

Since: 2020.1

◆ setLabeled()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setLabeled ( bool labeled )

Sets whether this layer displays labels.

Note that in order for the layer to display labels, its IFeaturePainter should also call the FeatureCanvas::drawLabel method for its features. If not, no labels will be displayed, regardless of this setting.

Parameters

labeled true to enable labels.

Since: 2020.2

◆ setPainter()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setPainter ( std::shared_ptr< IFeaturePainter > featurePainter )

Sets the layer's painter, which determines how the features are presented.

It will replace the IFeaturePainter that was set using the FeatureLayer::Builder::painter method, or if that method was not called, it will replace the default feature painter.

Limitation: This method currently only supports setting a new IFeaturePainter with the exact same level of details as the previous painter. If this is not the case, this method will throw an exception.

Parameters

featurePainter the feature painter used to paint the feature model. Cannot be nullptr.

Exceptions

luciad::NullArgumentException	when the given feature painter is `nullptr`
luciad::InvalidArgumentException	when the new painter has different detail levels than the previous painter

Since: 2023.1

◆ setQueryable()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setQueryable ( bool queryable )

Sets whether the features of this layer can be returned in the Map::queryFeatures method.

The default is true.

It is useful to set this property to false when:

you don't want features to be selected or set to the hovered state by the luciad::SelectEventHandler or luciad::HoverEventHandler classes.
there is a performance issue with the Map::queryFeatures method, for example for a layer with many features that don't need to be selected.

Parameters

queryable whether the features of this layer can be returned in the Map::queryFeatures method

Since: 2023.1

◆ setTitle()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setTitle ( std::string title )

overridevirtual

Sets the layer's title.

Should be suitable for presenting to the user.

If the new title is indeed different from the old one, a LayerEvent is delivered to the observers with the property name PropertyTitle.

Parameters

title the new title.

Implements luciad::Layer.

◆ setVisible()

void luciad::FeatureLayer::setVisible ( bool visible )

overridevirtual

Sets whether this layer is visible.

Changes this layer's visibility. If the new visibility is different from the old one, a LayerEvent is delivered to the observers with the property name PropertyVisible.

Parameters

visible the new visibility.

Implements luciad::Layer.
