An enumeration. A LayerType can be assigned to a Layer. The choice for a LayerType usually depends on the nature of the data that the Layer is visualizing.

BASE: "BASE"

"BASE" LayerType.

Indicates the layer must always be positioned as the last layer in the Map, behind all other layers. Even when multiple BASE Layers are added to a Map, only the top one will be drawn.

In practice this means that the visibility of other BASE-layers will be automatically turned off when a new visible BASE Layer is added.

Layers of this type are usually layers with raster data.

DYNAMIC: "DYNAMIC"

"DYNAMIC" LayerType.

LuciadRIA uses this flag to optimize rendering with the assumption that a lot of data in the model changes often. Use this layer type when you want the data updates on screen as fast as possible.

STATIC: "STATIC"

"STATIC" LayerType.

LuciadRIA uses this flag to optimize the rendering with the assumption that the model contains data that does not change often or at all.

This is the default.
