Style a feature layer

Learn how to apply renderers and label definitions to a feature layer based on attribute values.

Applications can display feature layer data with different styles to enhance the visualization. The type of Renderer you choose depends on your application. A SimpleRenderer applies the same symbol to all features, a UniqueValueRenderer applies a different symbol to each unique attribute value, and a ClassBreaksRenderer applies a symbol to a range of numeric values. Renderers are responsible for accessing the data and applying the appropriate symbol to each feature when the layer draws. You can also use a LabelDefinition to show attribute information for features. Visit the Styles and data visualization documentation to learn more about styling layers.

You can also author, style and save web maps, web scenes, and layers as portal items and then add them to the map in your application. Visit the following tutorials to learn more about adding portal items.

• Display a web map
• Display a web scene
• Add a feature layer from a portal item

In this tutorial, you will apply different renderers to enhance the visualization of three feature layers with data for the Santa Monica Mountains: Trailheads with a single symbol, Trails based on elevation change and bike use, and Parks and Open Spaces based on the type of park.

Prerequisites

Steps

Open the project in Qt Creator

1. To start this tutorial, complete the Display a map tutorial or download and unzip the solution.

2. Open the display_a_map project in Qt Creator.

3. If you downloaded the Display a map solution, set your API key.

   More info

   An API Key enables access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

   1. Go to your developer dashboard to get your API key. For these tutorials, use your default API key. It is scoped to include all of the services demonstrated in the tutorials.

   2. In the Projects window, in the Sources folder, open the main.cpp file.

   3. Modify the code to set the API key. Paste the API key, acquired from your dashboard, between the quotes. Then save and close the file.

Create a function to add a feature layer

A feature layer can be added from a feature service hosted in ArcGIS Online. Each feature layer contains features with a single geometry type (point, line, or polygon), and a set of attributes. Once added to the map, feature layers can be symbolized, styled, and labeled in a variety of ways.

Next, you will create a helper method to add a layer to the map's collection of operational layers. You will use this helper method throughout the tutorial as you add and symbolize various layers.

1. Add a helper method named addFeatureLayer() that takes a feature service URL as an argument.

Add a layer with a unique value renderer

4. Press Ctrl + R to run the app.

When the app opens, Parks and Open Spaces feature layer is added to the map. The map displays the different types of parks and open spaces with four unique symbols.

Add a layer with a class breaks renderer

Create a method to apply a different symbol for each of the five ranges of elevation gain to the Trails feature layer.

1. Add a new method named addTrailsLayer().

   More info

   A ClassBreak assigns a symbol to a range of values.

   For this example, the renderer uses each feature's ELEV_GAIN attribute value to classify it into a defined range (class break) and apply the corresponding symbol.

5. Press Ctrl + R to run the app.

When the app opens, the Trails feature layer is added to the map. The map displays trails with different symbols depending on trail elevation.

Add layers that leverage definition expressions

You can use a definition expression to define a subset of features to display. Features that do not meet the expression criteria are not displayed by the layer. In the following steps, you will create two methods that use a definition expression to apply a symbol to a subset of features in the Trails feature layer.

1. Add a method named addBikeOnlyTrailsLayer() with a definition expression to filter for trails that permit bikes.

5. Press Ctrl + R to run the app.

When the app opens, two Trails feature layers are added to the map. One shows where bikes are permitted and the other where they are prohibited.

Symbolize a layer with a picture symbol and label features with an attribute

Create a method to style trailheads with hiker images and labels for the Trailheads feature layer.

1. Create a helper method named makeLabelDefinition() to define a label definition based on the trail name attribute (TRL_NAME). Also define the label placement and symbol.
