Class: Vector

ol.layer.Vector

Vector data that is rendered client-side. Note that any property set in the options is set as a ol.Object property on the layer object; for example, setting title: 'My Title' in the options means that title is observable, and has get/set accessors.

Methods

bindTo(key, target, opt_targetKey){ol.ObjectAccessor} inherited experimental

The bindTo method allows you to set up a two-way binding between a source and target object. The method returns an object with a transform method that you can use to provide from and to functions to transform values on the way from the source to the target and on the way back.

For example, if you had two map views (sourceView and targetView) and you wanted the target view to have double the resolution of the source view, you could transform the resolution on the way to and from the target with the following:

sourceView.bindTo('resolution', targetView)
  .transform(
    function(sourceResolution) {
      // from sourceView.resolution to targetView.resolution
      return 2 * sourceResolution;
    },
    function(targetResolution) {
      // from targetView.resolution to sourceView.resolution
      return targetResolution / 2;
    }
  );

on(type, listener, opt_this){goog.events.Key} inherited

Listen for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

once(type, listener, opt_this){goog.events.Key} inherited

Listen once for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

set(key, value) inherited experimental

Sets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

value *

Value.

setBrightness(brightness) inherited experimental

Adjust the layer brightness. A value of -1 will render the layer completely black. A value of 0 will leave the brightness unchanged. A value of 1 will render the layer completely white. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect (values are clamped between -1 and 1).

The filter effects draft [1] says the brightness function is supposed to render 0 black, 1 unchanged, and all other values as a linear multiplier.

The current WebKit implementation clamps values between -1 (black) and 1 (white) [2]. There is a bug open to change the filter effect spec [3].

TODO: revisit this if the spec is still unmodified before we release

Name Type Description
brightness number | undefined

The brightness of the layer.

setContrast(contrast) inherited experimental

Adjust the layer contrast. A value of 0 will render the layer completely grey. A value of 1 will leave the contrast unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect (and values over 1 are permitted).

Name Type Description
contrast number | undefined

The contrast of the layer.

Set the extent at which the layer is visible. If undefined, the layer will be visible at all extents.

Name Type Description
extent ol.Extent | undefined

setHue(hue) inherited experimental

The maximum resolution of the layer.

setMinResolution(minResolution) inherited

setProperties(values) inherited experimental

Sets a collection of key-value pairs.

Name Type Description
values Object.<string, *>

setSaturation(saturation) inherited experimental

Adjust layer saturation. A value of 0 will render the layer completely unsaturated. A value of 1 will leave the saturation unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers of the effect (and values over 1 are permitted).

Name Type Description
saturation number | undefined

The saturation of the layer.

Set the style for features. This can be a single style object, an array of styles, or a function that takes a feature and resolution and returns an array of styles. If it is undefined the default style is used. If it is null the layer has no style (a null style), so only features that have their own styles will be rendered in the layer. See ol.style for information on the default style.

Name Type Description
style ol.style.Style | Array.<ol.style.Style> | ol.style.StyleFunction | undefined

Layer style.

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object which was used as this by the listener.

unbind(key) inherited experimental

Removes a binding. Unbinding will set the unbound property to the current value. The object will not be notified, as the value has not changed.

Name Type Description

Key name.

unbindAll() inherited experimental

Removes all bindings.

Removes an event listener using the key returned by on() or once().

Name Type Description
key goog.events.Key

Key.
