Change the style of a Web Map Service (WMS) layer.
Use case
Layers hosted on WMS may have different pre-set styles available to apply to them. Swapping between these styles can help during visual examination of the data. For example, increasing the contrast of satellite images can help in identifying urban and agricultural areas within forested areas.
How to use the sample
Once the layer loads, the toggle button will be enabled. Click it to toggle between the first and second styles of the WMS layer.
How it works
- Create a WMS layer with the URL of the service and the names of the layers you want using
WMSLayer.init(url:layerNames:). - When the layer is done loading, get its list of style strings using
WMSLayerInfo.styles. - Set one of the styles using
WMSSublayer.currentStyle.
