    Detailed Description

    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:

    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.

    Learn more about rasters from the ArcGIS Desktop documentation.

    Member Function Documentation

    [explicit] RasterLayer::RasterLayer(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Raster *raster, QObject *parent = nullptr)

    Creates a raster layer from the specified raster data source.

    • raster - Raster data source.
    • parent - The optional parent QObject.

    [explicit] RasterLayer::RasterLayer(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Item *item, QObject *parent = nullptr)

    Creates a raster layer from the specified image service portal item.

    See also Layer::item.

    [override virtual] RasterLayer::~RasterLayer()

    Destructor.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::TimeExtent RasterLayer::fullTimeExtent() const

    Reimplements: TimeAware::fullTimeExtent() const.

    Returns the full time extent of the layer.

    If the layer, such as a ArcGISMapImageLayer, has sublayers with different time extents, fullTimeExtent is a union of its sublayer's time extents.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    [signal] void RasterLayer::fullTimeExtentChanged()

    Signal emitted when the fullTimeExtent changes.

    See also TimeAware.

    [override virtual] bool RasterLayer::isPopupEnabled() const

    Reimplements: PopupSource::isPopupEnabled() const.

    Returns a flag indicating whether the PopupDefinition defined on the PopupSource is enable / disable.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] bool RasterLayer::isSupportsTimeFiltering() const

    Reimplements: TimeAware::isSupportsTimeFiltering() const.

    Returns true if the layer supports filtering data based on its time values, false otherwise.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] bool RasterLayer::isTimeFilteringEnabled() const

    Reimplements: TimeAware::isTimeFilteringEnabled() const.

    Returns true if the layer filters data based on its GeoView::timeExtent, false otherwise.

    This is only applicable if the layer's isSupportsTimeFiltering value is true. If the GeoView::timeExtent value is empty, no time filtering is applied and all content is rendered.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    [override virtual] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::PopupDefinition *RasterLayer::popupDefinition() const

    Reimplements: PopupSource::popupDefinition() const.

    Returns the pop-up definition.

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

    See PopupSource.

    See also setPopupDefinition().

    Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Raster *RasterLayer::raster() const

    Returns the raster data source for this layer.

    Esri::ArcGISRuntime::RasterRenderer *RasterLayer::renderer() const

    Returns the raster renderer used for this layer.

    See also setRenderer().

    [override virtual] void RasterLayer::setPopupDefinition(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::PopupDefinition *popupDefinition)

    Reimplements: PopupSource::setPopupDefinition(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::PopupDefinition *popupDefinition).

    Sets the popupDefinition to popupDefinition.

    See also popupDefinition.

    [override virtual] void RasterLayer::setPopupEnabled(bool popupEnabled)

    Reimplements: PopupSource::setPopupEnabled(bool popupEnabled).

    Sets the popupEnabled to popupEnabled.

    See also isPopupEnabled.

    void RasterLayer::setRenderer(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::RasterRenderer *renderer)

    Sets the renderer to renderer.

    See also renderer.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] void RasterLayer::setTimeFilteringEnabled(bool timeFilteringEnabled)

    Reimplements: TimeAware::setTimeFilteringEnabled(bool timeFilteringEnabled).

    Sets the timeFilteringEnabled to timeFilteringEnabled.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    See also isTimeFilteringEnabled.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] void RasterLayer::setTimeOffset(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::TimeValue &timeOffset)

    Reimplements: TimeAware::setTimeOffset(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::TimeValue &timeOffset).

    Sets the timeOffset to timeOffset.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    See also timeOffset.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::TimeValue RasterLayer::timeInterval() const

    Reimplements: TimeAware::timeInterval() const.

    Returns the suggested time slider step size for this time aware layer.

    You can use this information to set the step size for a time slider control. The value is empty if no time interval is suggested. The author of the layer's data typically configures this property if the data has been collected on a regular basis. For example, the daily position of a hurricane.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::TimeValue RasterLayer::timeOffset() const

    Reimplements: TimeAware::timeOffset() const.

    Returns the amount of time by which the temporal values of this layer's data points are offset when displaying it in a GeoView.

    The time offset is subtracted from the time extent set on the layer's GeoView. This is useful if you want to overlay data in multiple layers that lies within different temporal extents. For example, if you want to compare data in one layer for a certain year with data in the same layer from the subsequent year, you can create two layers that reference the same data's service endpoint but set the TimeValue in one of the layers to be one year.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.3.

    See also setTimeOffset().
