Interface Layer

All Known Implementing Classes:

Layer_Impl

public interface Layer

Each available map is advertised by a element in the Capabilities XML. A single parent Layer encloses any number of additional layers, which may be hierarchically nested as desired. Some properties defined in a parent layer are inherited by the children it encloses. These inherited properties may be either redefined or added to by the child.

A Map Server shall include at least one element for each map layer offered. If desired, layers may be repeated in different categories when relevant. No controlled vocabulary has been defined, so at present Layer and Style Names, Titles and Keywords are arbitrary.

The element can enclose child elements providing metadata about the Layer.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getAbstract() Abstract is a narrative description of the map layer.
Attribution	getAttribution() The optional element provides a way to identify the source of the map data used in a Layer or collection of Layers.
AuthorityURL[]	getAuthorityURL() The authority attribute of the Identifier element corresponds to the name attribute of a separate element.
LayerBoundingBox[]	getBoundingBox() Layers may have zero or more elements that are either stated explicitly or inherited from a parent Layer.
int	getCascaded() returns '0' if the layer is provided directly form the deegree WMS.
DataSource[]	getDataSource() source where the WMS can find the data of a layer.
DataSource	getDataSource(double scale) source where the WMS can find the data of a layer that matches the submitted scale.
DataURL[]	getDataURL() A Map Server may use DataURL to offer more information about the data represented by a particular layer.
Dimension[]	getDimension() Dimension declarations are inherited from parent Layers.
Extent[]	getExtent() Extent declarations are inherited from parent Layers.
FeatureListURL[]	getFeatureListURL() A Map Server may use a element to point to a list of the features represented in a Layer.
int	getFixedHeight() returns '0' if the WMS can resize map to arbitrary height.
int	getFixedWidth() returns '0' if the WMS can resize map to arbitrary width.
Identifier[]	getIdentifier() A Map Server may use zero or more elements to list ID numbers or labels defined by a particular Authority.
java.lang.String[]	getKeywordList() KeywordList contains zero or more Keywords to aid in catalog searches.
GM_Envelope	getLatLonBoundingBox() Every Layer shall have exactly one element that is either stated explicitly or inherited from a parent Layer.
Layer[]	getLayer() returns a list of layers the are enclosed by this layer.
MetadataURL[]	getMetadataURL() A Map Server should use one or more elements to offer detailed, standardized metadata about the data underneath a particular layer.
java.lang.String	getName() If, and only if, a layer has a , then it is a map layer that can be requested by using that Name in the LAYERS parameter of a GetMap request.
Layer	getParent() returns the parent layer of this layer.
ScaleHint	getScaleHint() Layers may include a element that suggests minimum and maximum scales for which it is appropriate to display this layer.
java.lang.String[]	getSrs() Every Layer is available in one or more spatial reference systems Every Layer shall have at least one element that is either stated explicitly or inherited from a parent Layer .
UserStyle	getStyle(java.lang.String name) returns the UserStyle (SLD) representation of the style identified by the submitted name.
Style	getStyleResource(java.lang.String name) returns the Style identified by the submitted name.
Style[]	getStyles() returns a list of style that can be used form rendering the layer.
java.lang.String	getTitle() A
