Detailed Description
A layer, also known as an operational layer, provides access to geographic data that is displayed in a map or scene. Each layer references a file or service data source that contains either vector data (points, lines, polygons and attributes) or raster data (images). The Map or Scene can display these layers inside a MapView or SceneView, respectively. To enhance the displayed information, you can 'stack' the layers into a collection of Map::operationalLayers or Scene::operationalLayers. The first layer in the collection is drawn first (on the bottom) and each subsequent layer is drawn on top of it.
Layer is the base class for all these layer types:

| FeatureCollectionLayer | Both | No | Both | Portal item, web map, feature set / query result |
| FeatureLayer | Both | Yes | Both | ArcGIS feature service, WFS, shapefile, GeoPackage, geodatabase, OGC API Features |

You can use this to zoom to all of the data contained in this layer. For feature layers, the extent is retrieved from its FeatureTable::extent.
See also FeatureTable::extent.
[override virtual] bool Layer::isAutoFetchLegendInfos () const
Reimplements: LayerContent::isAutoFetchLegendInfos() const.
Returns whether legend infos are automatically fetched by the layer's legend info list model.

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.
It is not recommended to change this property when the layer is obtained from a map or scene. If changed, ensure that the string is unique, for example based on a generated GUID.

All of the connected map and scene views will be updated.
See also setMaxScale().
double Layer::minScale () const
