Detailed Description
An instance of this class allows you to display data from a WMS service.
Web Map Service (WMS) is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard for delivering map images from an online service. WmsLayer displays data from a web service that provides maps in the form of server-rendered images. ArcGIS Maps SDK supports WMS versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.3.0. The service may be hosted in the cloud on ArcGIS Online, on a third party server, or on-premises with ArcGIS Server.
Functional characteristics
A WMS service can contain multiple layers in a hierarchy. WmsLayer can be constructed directly with a URL to a service and the uniquely identifying name of the desired layer. Alternatively, a WmsService can be used to programmatically explore the available layers and allow the user to choose layers at run time.
The maps provided by a WMS service use predefined symbology defined by the server. As a result, it is not possible to apply custom renderers or to visualize feature selection. A WmsLayer can have multiple style options. Your app can choose from the available styles.
Some layers can be marked as opaque, which means that they cover most of the map area and are good candidates for use as a basemap.
WmsLayer supports identify and time, but not selection or query. Note that due to the nature of WMS, it is not possible to retrieve feature geometry from WMS identify results. WmsLayer supports custom parameters, which can be specified for the service or an individual layer.
WmsLayer adopts the loadable pattern, and many of its properties are initialized asynchronously. The layer is loaded when displayed in a MapView or a SceneView. If using the layer without a MapView or a SceneView, call the load method to load it before use. Use the layer doneLoading signal to determine when the layer is ready, and check the loadStatus before using the layer.
Performance characteristics
WMS servers render map images on demand, which can require more server resources than a similar tiled service. WMS requires a service connection at all times.

[override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] bool WmsLayer::isSupportsTimeFiltering () const
Reimplements: TimeAware::isSupportsTimeFiltering() const.
Returns whether the layer supports filtering its contents by time values.
This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.
[override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] bool WmsLayer::isTimeFilteringEnabled () const
Reimplements: TimeAware::isTimeFilteringEnabled() const.
Returns whether the layer participates in filtering based on the time extent of its GeoView.
This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.
QList<Esri::ArcGISRuntime::WmsLayerInfo > WmsLayer::layerInfos () const
Returns a list of WmsLayerInfo objects describing the selected WMS sublayers.
If the WmsLayer was initialized with url and layerNames, then the layerInfos will be empty until the layer has been loaded.
QStringList WmsLayer::layerNames () const
Returns a list of names of visible WMS layers.
Esri::ArcGISRuntime::MapServiceImageFormat WmsLayer::preferredImageFormat () const
Returns the preferred image format of this WMS layer.
If a preferred format is not specified prior to loading, then Png32 is used.
See also setPreferredImageFormat().
quint64 WmsLayer::refreshInterval () const
Returns the refresh interval used by the layer, in milliseconds.
Layers request data from the service each time this interval elapses. A value of 0 means to never refresh.
See also setRefreshInterval().
[override virtual] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::RequestConfiguration WmsLayer::requestConfiguration () const
Reimplements: RemoteResource::requestConfiguration() const.
Returns the RequestConfiguration in use by this layer.
See also setRequestConfiguration().
[since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] void WmsLayer::setCustomParameters (const QMap<QString, QString> &customParameters )
Sets the custom parameters that are applied to WMS requests related to this layer to customParameters.
customParameters is a map of strings where the key is the parameter's name and the value is the parameter's value.
When making a WMS request, only parameters required by the service are included by default. Setting custom parameters will allow you to specify any additional parameters, such as API keys or user credentials, to the service. These parameters will be appended to GetMap and GetFeatureInfo requests.
When used together with a WmsService, if a parameter with the same name is defined in the service's custom parameters, then layer-specific values will take precedence over service-wide parameter values.
This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.
