Enc Layer
A layer that displays ENC data. Electronic navigational charts (ENC) are georeferenced vector datasets for the visualization and analysis of hydrographic and maritime information. This API supports ENC that conform to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 standard.
Functional characteristics ENC layer supports identify and selection but does not support query or time. ENC layers cannot be displayed in a scene.
Performance characteristics ENC layers differ from other layer types in that ENC content is cached in an internal collection of SENC files. When an ENC layer is displayed, only the content in the SENC files is referenced. SENC files are produced when an ENC cell is read for the first time and updated as update sets are applied. You can set the path to the SENC storage directory with the EncEnvironmentSettings.getSencDataPath() property. SENC files are in a binary format that is not intended to be shared between platforms or versions of this API.

Functions
Cancels loading metadata for the Loadable object.
Clears / Unselects a previously selected ENC feature (if any).
Fetches the list of legend info.
Returns the layer content's effective visibility at the specified scale. Returns the effective layer content visibility. This effective visibility takes care of the effective visibility of the parents at the specified scale. Will return false if an error occurs.
Selects an ENC feature. Only one ENC feature can be selected at a time. Note that some ENC features are rendered as multiple objects on the map - for example, a soundings feature might consist of many individual measurements, each of which will be highlighted when the feature is selected.
Properties
The unique identifying string for the layer, for example specified in a map or scene. The id is used by other parts of this API to refer to a specific Layer, such as in a set of FeatureFenceParameters or a FacilityLayerDefinition. If not supplied, all layers will be assigned a unique id when created.
