public interface ILcdTreeLayered
extends ILcdLayered
```
An extension of ILcdLayered, to access a flat list of layers as a hierarchical structure. The hierarchical structure can be accessed directly by calling getRootNode(). This is illustrated in the figure below.

The figure shows that the ILcdTreeLayered exposes a root node for the hierarchical layer structure through the getRootNode() method.

At the same time, ILcdTreeLayered is linked to all the layers of the hierarchical structure, and provides a flat list representation of this hierarchical layer structure. The root node is not included in the flat list representation.

All the operations, defined in the ILcdLayered interface, can now be performed on the hierarchical structure.

Adding and/or removing layers from the hierarchical structure will also remove them from the flat list representation, and vice versa.

Two support classes allow for an easy concrete implementation of this interface in GXY views: TLcdTreeLayeredSupport and TLcdIndependentOrderTreeLayeredSupport. TLcdTreeLayeredSupport is the default. It derives the flat list from the hierarchical layer structure, and keeps them both synchronized. Moving a layer in the hierarchical structure will move the layer in the flat list representation and vice versa. The TLcdIndependentOrderTreeLayeredSupport allows having an independent layer order in the flat list representation and in the hierarchical structure.

The following assumptions are made:
- Layers or layer nodes may only occur once in the hierarchical structure.
- No loops are created in the hierarchical structure. This means a layernode must not be inserted into one of the layernodes contained in his subtree.
The class TLcdLayerTree is available to visualise the hierarchical layer structure.

    Returns:
    
    an Enumeration of all the ILcdLayers currently in the flat list, starting from the top layer to the bottom layer. Does not include the root node.
  - getLayer
```
ILcdLayer getLayer(int aIndex)
            throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
```
    Returns the ILcdLayer with index aIndex in the flat list representation of the hierarchical layer structure.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLayer in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aIndex - the position of the layer to retrieve in the flat list representation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the ILcdLayer with index aIndex in the flat list representation
    
    Throws:
    
    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the given index is invalid
  - indexOf
```
int indexOf(ILcdLayer aLayer)
     throws NoSuchElementException
```
    Returns the index of the given layer aLayer in the flat list representation of the hierarchical structure.
    
    Specified by:
    
    indexOf in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLayer - the layer whose index to return
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of aLayer in the flat list representation
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchElementException - if aLayer is not in the flat list
  - removeLayer
```
void removeLayer(ILcdLayer aLayer)
```
    Removes a layer from both the hierarchical layer structure and the flat list representation. When removing an ILcdLayerTreeNode all of its children will also be removed. An event will then be generated for every layer that has been removed (one for the node and one for each of its child layers).
    
    It is not possible to remove the root node
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeLayer in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLayer - the layer to remove. If the layer is not in the flat list, this method has no effect.
  - containsLayer
```
boolean containsLayer(ILcdLayer aLayer)
```
    Returns whether the flat list representation of the hierarchical layer structure contains the given layer. More formally, returns true if and only if the flat list representation contains at least one layer l such that (aLayer==null ? l==null : aLayer.equals(l)).
    
    Calling this method with the root node will return false, since the root node is not a part of the flat list representation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsLayer in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLayer - the layer to check whether it is in the flat list representation
    
    Returns:
    
    true when the flat list representation contains the given layer, false otherwise
  - removeAllLayers
```
void removeAllLayers()
```
    Remove all the layers from the hierarchical layer structure and the flat list representation. An event will be fired for every layer that has been removed. This will not remove the root node.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAllLayers in interface ILcdLayered
  - addLayeredListener
```
void addLayeredListener(ILcdLayeredListener aLayeredListener)
```
    Registers the given ILcdLayeredListener to be notified when layers are added, removed or moved in the flat list.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addLayeredListener in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLayeredListener - the listener that from now on will be notified of all changes to the flat list.

```
void removeLayeredListener(ILcdLayeredListener aLayeredListener)
```
    Unregisters the given ILcdLayeredListener from receiving layered events for the flat list.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeLayeredListener in interface ILcdLayered
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLayeredListener - the listener that will no longer be notified of changes in the flat list.
