RasterLayer

class RasterLayer : ImageAdjustmentLayer, PopupSource, TimeAware

Displays raster data in a map or scene. In its simplest form, raster data consists of a matrix of cells (or pixels) organized into rows and columns (or a grid) where each cell contains a value representing information. Raster layer can support these main types of raster data sources:

Raster files - path to a file on the device
Remote ArcGIS Image services, see ImageServiceRaster
Raster files within GeoPackages, see GeoPackageRaster
Mosaic datasets, see MosaicDatasetRaster

You can change how a raster layer is visualized by creating a RasterRenderer and applying it to the layer. Each raster layer supports identify on its individual cells when it is displayed in a MapView or SceneView. The raster layer adopts the loadable pattern; many of its properties are initialized asynchronously. See Loadable for more information.

If a raster dataset has just one value associated with each cell it is called a single-band raster. For example, in a digital elevation model (DEM) each cell contains one value representing the elevation at that location.

A satellite image, however, commonly has multiple bands representing different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Landsat imagery, for example, contains seven bands that represent data from the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum. Rasters are particularly useful for remote sensing tasks, such as monitoring vegetation and seeing through smoke to analyze an active fire.

Raster datasets can be quite large. The size of the dataset depends on the following:

The geographic extent of the data
The size of the cells used (resolution)
The number of bands

As with any data consumed locally, file size can be an issue for storage as well as for transferring datasets over the network.

Constructors

RasterLayer

fun RasterLayer(item: Item)

Creates a new raster layer object from a image service portal item.

RasterLayer

fun RasterLayer(raster: Raster)

Creates a raster layer object. Use this function to create a raster layer from the input raster data source.

Properties

raster

val raster: Raster?

The raster source on this layer.

renderer

var renderer: RasterRenderer?

The raster renderer for this layer

Inherited properties

attribution

open val attribution: String

The attribution text for the layer.

brightness

var brightness: Float

The brightness of the layer.

canChangeVisibility

open override val canChangeVisibility: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the layer content's visibility can be changed. A flag indicating whether the layer content visibility can be changed. Will return false if an error occurs.

contrast

var contrast: Float

The contrast of the layer.

description

var description: String

The description for the layer. The description of the layer.

fullExtent

val fullExtent: Envelope?

The full extent of this layer, which is the extent where all layer data is contained. You can use this to zoom to all of the data contained in this layer. For feature layers, the extent is retrieved from the tables extent.

fullTimeExtent

open override val fullTimeExtent: StateFlow<TimeExtent?>

The full time extent of the object. A null if the object is not time aware or if an error occurs.

gamma

var gamma: Float

The gamma of the layer.

var id: String

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.

isIdentifyEnabled

val isIdentifyEnabled: Boolean

Whether the layer supports identify. If the layer is not loaded it may return false if identify support is determined by metadata that is not yet available.

isPopupEnabled

open override var isPopupEnabled: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the PopupDefinition defined on the PopupSource is enable / disable. Will return false if an error occurs.

isTimeFilteringEnabled

open override var isTimeFilteringEnabled: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the object must use the time extent defined on the owning GeoView to filter its data.

isVisible

open override var isVisible: Boolean

The layer content's visibility. The layer content visibility. Will return false if an error occurs.

item

val item: Item?

The item the layer has been created from.

loadStatus

open override val loadStatus: StateFlow<LoadStatus>

The load status.

maxScale

var maxScale: Double?

The maximum scale for the layer. This controls the maximum scale level the layer can zoom to. All of the connected map views will be updated.

minScale

var minScale: Double?

The minimum scale for the layer. This controls the minimum scale level the layer can zoom to. All of the connected map views will be updated.

name

open override var name: String

The name of this layer.

opacity

var opacity: Float

The opacity for the layer. All of the connected map views will be updated.

popupDefinition

open override var popupDefinition: PopupDefinition?

The pop-up definition. The PopupDefinition associated with the popup source. A null if an error occurs or if the popup source is not associated with a pop-up definition.

showInLegend

open override var showInLegend: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the layer content participates in the legend. A flag indicating whether the layer content is shown in the legend.

spatialReference

val spatialReference: SpatialReference?

The spatial reference of the layer.

subLayerContents

open override val subLayerContents: StateFlow<List<LayerContent>>

The sub layer contents of a layer content.

supportsTimeFiltering

open override val supportsTimeFiltering: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the object supports filtering its contents by time values with the extent set on the owning GeoView.

timeInterval

open override val timeInterval: TimeValue?

The suggested time slider step size for this time aware object. Can be null if no time interval is suggested for this time aware object.

timeOffset

open override var timeOffset: TimeValue?

The time offset applied to this object. The offset is subtracted from the time extent set on the owning GeoView. This allows for data from different periods of time to be compared.

visibilityChanged

val visibilityChanged: SharedFlow<Boolean>

Callback invoked when the visibility of the layer changes.

Functions

clone

open override fun clone(): RasterLayer

Clones the RasterLayer.

Inherited functions

cancelLoad

open override fun cancelLoad()

Cancels loading metadata for the Loadable object.

equals

open operator override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

fetchLegendInfos

open suspend override fun fetchLegendInfos(): Result<List<LegendInfo>>

Fetches the list of legend info.

hashCode

open override fun hashCode(): Int

isVisibleAtScale

open override fun isVisibleAtScale(scale: Double): Boolean

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.

load

open suspend override fun load(): Result<Unit>

Loads the metadata for the object.
