Working with Layers
The Map Object provides a number of methods for working with layers namely:
usingLayer
The usingLayer method will grab an existing Layer Object that allows layer manipulation through a Fluent API that provides method chaining.
window.onload = function () {
var map = new Mapzania.Map("map-div", "LONDON", function () {
map.usingLayer("SIGHTS")
.hide();
});
};
usingNewLayer
The usingNewLayer method operates in a similar way to the usingLayer method. The only difference is that it does not use an existing layer, it creates a new layer.
NOTE: The layer created with usingNewLayer is a client-only layer. This means that it requires data to be added to it on the client. This is illustrated in the Feature Collection Filter Example.
window.onload = function () {
var map = new Mapzania.Map("map-div", "LONDON", function () {
map.usingNewLayer("MY_LAYER")
.style({ fillColor: "#000000" });
});
};
The following interactive example shows this in action:
