InteractionLayer

public class BasicLayer
extends OMGraphicHandlerLayer

This layer is a good place to start learning how to create OpenMap layers. It extends OMGraphicHandler, which contains a good bit of functionality, but exposes only the methods you need to start putting features (OMGraphics) on the map. Note that this is a layer where the objects never change, and the map objects used by this layer never change. They always get managed and drawn, even if they are off the visible map. When the projection changes, the OMGraphics are told what the new projection is so they can reposition themselves, and then they are redrawn. If you want the OMGraphics on the layer to change depending on where the map view is, look at ProjectionResponseLayer. You'll want to look at that layer if you have a lot of map stuff to display on your layer, so you only render what you need. If you want to learn more about interacting with your OMGraphics after you get the hang of displaying them efficiently, then move to the InteractionLayer.

Constructor Detail

BasicLayer

public BasicLayer()

The empty constructor is necessary for any layer being created using the openmap.properties file, via the openmap.layers property. This method needs to be public, too. Don't try to do too much in the constructor - remember, this code gets executed whether the user uses the layer or not. Performance-wise, it's better to do most initialization the first time the layer is made part of the map. You can test for that in the prepare() method, by testing whether the OMGraphicList for the layer is null or not.

prepare()

Method Detail

prepare

public OMGraphicList prepare()

This is an important Layer method to override. The prepare method gets called when the layer is added to the map, or when the map projection changes. We need to make sure the OMGraphicList returned from this method is what we want painted on the map. The OMGraphics need to be generated with the current projection. We test for a null OMGraphicList in the layer to see if we need to create the OMGraphics. This layer doesn't change its OMGraphics for different projections, if your layer does, you need to clear out the OMGraphicList and add the OMGraphics you want for the current projection.

Overrides:

prepare in class OMGraphicHandlerLayer

init

public OMGraphicList init()

Called from the prepare() method if the layer discovers that its OMGraphicList is null.

Returns:

new OMGraphicList with OMGraphics that you always want to display and reproject as necessary.
