getFullExtent

public IEnvelope getFullExtent()
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException
The full extent rectangle.

Remarks

The full extent of the view. In ArcMap's data view, the full extent is the full extent of all layers and it is automatically calculated whenever the spatial reference changes and when layers are added or removed with AddLayer, AddLayers, or DeleteLayer. In layout view, the full extent is the page size expanded some and it is automatically set whenever the page size changes.

This property is a shortcut to the bounds of the ActiveView's ScreenDisplay (accessed via IDisplayTransformation::Bounds) .

getScreenDisplay

public IScreenDisplay getScreenDisplay()
                                throws IOException,
                                       AutomationException
The screen display used by the view.

Remarks

Each view has a ScreenDisplay object which controls drawing in the application's window. Use this property to get a reference to the ScreenDisplay object associated with the view you are currently working with. For example, to draw a polygon in data view, you must get an IActiveView reference on the focus Map object and then get a reference to its ScreenDisplay object via this property. If you are in data view and you mistakenly get an IActiveView reference on the PageLayout object, you will not see the polygon as you are drawing in the wrong view.

Each ScreenDisplay object has a DisplayTransformation object which is accessible via IDisplay::DisplayTransformation (ScreenDisplay inherits from Display ). Each DisplayTransformation related to a Map, holds onto the map's spatial reference (IDisplayTransformation::SpatialReference ) and has useful methods for converting between device units and map units. The PageLayout's DisplayTransformation does not have a spatial reference, the property returns nothing, and in this case its members map between device units and page units.

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
getScreenDisplay in interface IActiveView
Returns:
A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.display.IScreenDisplay

getGraphicsContainer

public IGraphicsContainer getGraphicsContainer()
                                        throws IOException,
                                               AutomationException
The active graphics container.

Remarks

Both the Map and PageLayout objects are graphics containers - both implement the IGraphicsContainer interface.

The Map has a Basics Graphics Layer and this property returns a reference to that object (see CompositeGraphicsLayer and IMap::BasicGraphicsLayer). When working with a Map object, you can also perform a query interface from any of the interfaces the Map implements, IMap for example, to IGraphicsContainer. The QI also takes you to the CompositeGraphicsLayer object. These are both possible because the Map aggregates the Basic Graphics Layer.

The PageLayout object works differently. The PageLayout does not have a Basics Graphics Layer; instead, the PageLayout object is its own graphics container having its own implementation of IGraphicsContainer. A QI from IPageLayout to IGraphicsContainer connects you with the graphics container associated strictly with the PageLayout. However, this property, IActiveView::GraphicsContainer, on the PageLayout object has two possible outcomes. If a Map is activated (IActiveView::IsMapActivated), the property will return a reference to the focus Map's active graphics layer (IMap::ActiveGraphicsLayer ). If no Map is activated, the property will return a reference to the PageLayout's graphics container - the same as the QI case.

getFocusMap

public IMap getFocusMap()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
The map that tools and controls act on.

Remarks

A user's map may comprise one or more Map objects. Each Map object typically holds layers of data as well as several MapSurround objects such as a Legend. This property returns an IMap reference to the Map object that currently has focus. In ArcMap, the focus map is the one visible in data view and the one selected in layout view.

Changing the focus map fires the IActiveViewEvents::FocusMapChanged event. In ArcMap, the focus map is automatically set to any new Map added.

IMxDocument::FocusMap is a read-only short cut to this property.

                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException
Indicates if the focus map is activated.

Remarks

In ArcMap's layout view, when the focus map is activated by double-clicking on it, new graphic elements are added to the Map's active graphics layer. When the focus map is not activated, the default, graphic elements are added to the PageLayout object. Both the Map and PageLayout objects are graphics containers, setting this property to TRUE diverts graphics from the PageLayout to the focus Map.

A Map can be activated in both layout and data views.

When this property is set to TRUE, IActiveView::PartialRefresh is called for the esriViewGraphicSelection draw phase.

getSelection

public ISelection getSelection()
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException
The selection.

Remarks

ArcMap has two different selection types, a feature selection and an element selection. Two different objects represent these selections and both implement the ISelection interface. The feature selection object additionally implements IEnumFeature and the element selection object IEnumElement. The ISelection interface is used for clipboard type operations and the IEnum interfaces are used to loop through the items in the collection.

Each active view object, the PageLayout and all Maps, have their own selection objects. Actually, the PageLayout only has an element selection but each Map has a unique feature and element selection. When working with selections make sure you have the correct active view object.

For a Map, only one of the selections can be active at a time. As mentioned above, this interface provides an ISelection reference to either an element or feature selection depending on which one is currently active. To simplify the matter, IMap has a FeatureSelection property which always returns an ISelection on the feature selection, from which you can obtain an IEnumFeature reference. Just make sure you have the correct Map, usually the FocusMap. To get a Map's element selection, use IViewManager::ElementSelection.

Note: The features returned as part of IEnumFeature are in the spatial reference of the map, so they have the coordinate system and the resolution (1/precision) of the map.

                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException
The device rectangle to export.

Remarks

Returns the area of the view to be exported.

For Maps, this is always the area corresponding to the constrained bounds (IDisplayTransformation::ContstrainedBounds), i.e., the visible bounds intersected with the full bounds. The coordinates are automatically converted, using IDisplayTransformation::TransformRect, from world units to device units.

For PageLayout, this is always the height and width of the page in device units (pixels) when the layout is zoomed to 100%. Because these values are independent of the layout's current zoom level and always correspond to the page instead of the full client area of the application, they are ideal for use when exporting a map to a graphics file. Assign the values of the ExportFrame property to the Export object's PixelBounds property.

isShowScrollBars

public boolean isShowScrollBars()
                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException
Indicates if scrollbars are visible.

Remarks

IActiveView::ShowScrollBars is a short cut to IScreenDisplay::UseScrollBars. Changes to this property are not reflected until the active view changes. For example, when in layout view in ArcMap, programmatically changing the PageLayout to not show its scrollbar will have no effect until the next time the active view is set to the PageLayout - calling IActiveView::Refresh has no effect.

ArcMap uses this property to hide Map's scroll bars when in layout view. Programmatically trying to display a Map's scroll bar in layout view will have no effect, for Maps this setting is only honored in data view and again it requires an active view change before the setting is reflected in the applications window.

Description

This property is primarily used to hide a Map's element selection in layout view unless a Map has been activated.

When in layout view, the PageLayout always has its ShowSelection set to true, setting it to false has no effect. Similarly, when in data view, the focus Map always has its ShowSelection set to true and this cannot be overridden.

hitTestMap

public IMap hitTestMap(IPoint location)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
Returns any maps present in the view at the given location. Return value may be zero if there are no maps or the coordinate is not over a map.

Remarks

Use this method on a PageLayout to find the nearest Map based on a point location. For example, when ArcMap's identify tool is used in Layout view, the tool first finds the Map clicked on before it searches for features in the Map.

When using this method on a PageLayout, for the Location parameter, set up the Point in page coordinates. To convert from device coordinates to page coordinates:

  1. Get the ScreenDisplay from the PageLayout using IActiveView::ScreenDisplay.
  2. Get the DisplayTransformation from the ScreenDisplay using IScreenDisplay::DisplayTransformation.
  3. Convert device coordinates (for example from a mouse move) to page coordinates using IDisplayTransformation::ToMapPoint.

Use this method on a Map to obtain a reference to it through IMap.

activate

public void activate(int hWnd)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException
Gives this view control of the specified window.

Remarks

Called to establish the current object as the active view. For example, view commands deactivate (IActiveView::Deactivate) the current view (IMxDocument::ActiveView) before calling Activate on their own associated view.

When working with the IActiveView interface on a MapDocument object, you should always first call IActiveView::Activate() in order to properly initialize the display of the PageLayout or Map object. The MxDocument and MapServer objects and the MapControl and PageLayoutControl all initialize display objects automatically after opening an MXD, but MapDocument does not do this, so you should call Activate() before working with any other members of IActiveView. If your application has a user interface, you should call Activate() with the hWnd of the application's client area. If your application runs in the background and has no windows, you can always get a valid hWnd from the GDI GetDesktopWindow() function, part of the Win32 API.

                   ITrackCancel trackCancel)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException
Renders the view to the specified DC.

Description

This method is used to draw to a non-app window hDC (see Windows GDI for more info). The ArcMap printing and exporting commands use this method. When drawing to an hWnd, normally IActiveView::Draw is used instead of this method because it handles caching and scrollbars.

Remarks

Parameter use is as follows:

hDC - Output device.
dpi - Dots per inch (resolution). If Null is passed then this defaults to the resolution of the hDC. If that cannot be sampled, then this defaults to the window resolution.
pixelBounds - Device rectangle specified in pixels.
VisibleBounds - Zoom extent. If Null is passed then this defaults to the current visible extent.

All other display attributes are copied from the ActiveView.

If you want to draw the data frame to a 640x480 bitmap for example, specify the following parameter values:

dpi - 0
pixel bounds - { 0, 0, 640, 480 }
visible bounds - 0

If you want to create a bitmap that will print 8.5 x 11 on a 300 DPI printer, specify the following parameter values:

dpi - 300
pixel bounds - { 0, 0, 8.5 * dpi, 11 * dpi }
visible bounds - 0

If you want to zoom to a certain location and draw it on a 300x300 bitmap, specify the following parameter values:

dpi - 0
pixel bounds - { 0, 0, 300, 300 }
visible bounds - { -45.0, 44.0, -44.0, 45.0 }

The value of IDisplayTransformation::Resolution does not affect the results of this method.

The value of IOutputRasterSettings::ResampleRatio does affect the results of the this method. When rasters are drawn, they get resampled as specified in this attribute.

refresh

public void refresh()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException
Causes the entire view to draw.

Remarks

IActiveView::Refresh invalidates all of the caches. This is a very inefficient operation; typically data from just one source has to be reread from the database and the rest can be drawn from cache. IActiveView::PartialRefresh uses it's knowledge of the cache layout to invalidate as little as possible and should be used whenever possible.

partialRefresh

public void partialRefresh(int phase,
                           Object data,
                           IEnvelope envelope)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException
Draws the specified view phase. Use an envelope of zero to draw the entire phase.

Remarks

The main application window is controlled by a view (IActiveView). ArcMap currently has two view objects: Map (data view) and PageLayout (layout view). Each view has a ScreenDisplay object which performs drawing operations. The ScreenDisplay object also makes it possible for clients to create any number of caches. A cache is an off screen bitmap representing the application's window. Instead of drawing directly to the screen, graphics are drawn into caches, then the caches are drawn on the screen. When the application's window is obscured and requires redrawing, it is done so from the caches instead of from a database. In this way, caches improve drawing performance - bitmap rendering is faster than reading and displaying data from a database.

In general, the Map creates three caches: one for all the layers, another if there are annotation or graphics, and a third cache if there is a feature selection. A layer can create its own private cache if it sets ILayer::Cached equal to TRUE. In this case, the Map will create a separate cache for the layer and groups the layers above and below it into different caches.

IActiveView::PartialRefresh uses its knowledge of the cache layout to invalidate as little as possible. IActiveView::Refresh , on the other hand, invalidates all the caches which is very inefficient. Use PartialRefresh whenever possible.

Both PartialRefresh and Refresh call IScreenDisplay::Invalidate which sets a flag clients watch for. Clients draw a cache from scratch (the database) if its flag is set to true, and from cache if the flag is set to false.

The following table shows the phases each view supports and what they map to:

phase Map Layout
esriViewBackground Map grids Page/snap grid
esriViewGeography Layers Unused
*esriViewGeoSelection Feature selection Unused
esriViewGraphics Labels/graphics Graphics
esriViewGraphicSelection Graphic selection Element selection
esriViewForeground Unused Snap guides

To specify multiple draw phases, combine individual phases together using a bitwise OR. This is equivalent to adding together the integer enumeration values. For example, pass 6 to invalidate both the esriViewGeography (2) and esriViewGeoSelection (4) phases.

Use the data parameter to invalidate just a specific piece of data. For example, if a layer is loaded and its cache property is set to TRUE, this layer alone can be invalidated. A tracking layer is a good example of this.

The envelope parameter specifies a region to invalidate. For example, if a graphic element is added, it is usually only necessary to invalidate the immediate area surrounding the new graphic.

Both the data and envelope parameters are optional.

*When selecting features, you must call PartialRefresh twice, once before and once after the selection operation.

clear

public void clear()
           throws IOException,
                  AutomationException
Empties the view contents.

Remarks

The Map object's implementation of Clear deletes all of the Layers in the Map (IMap::ClearLayers ), removes all MapSurrounds (IMap::ClearSurrounds ), removes all bookmarks (IMapBookMarks::RemoveAllBookMarks), and resets the extent stack. Clear does not refresh the active view however.

Clear on PageLayout deletes all Elements, including MapFrames which hold a Map, resets the extent stack, and a new Map is created - there must always be a focus map.

getMapUnits

public int getMapUnits()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
The units for the map.

Remarks

MapUnits is the predefined enumeration (esriUnits) data type currently associated with the Map object.
AddLayer automatically attempts to set the Map's SpatialReference property if a coordinate system has not yet been defined for the map. When the SpatialReference property is set, the Map's MapUnits and DistanceUnits properties are set as well.
When multiple layers are added simultaneously with AddLayers, the first spatial reference found is used.
If no layers have a spatial reference, AddLayer checks the extent of the first layer (ILayer::AreaOfInterest) and if it has coordinates that look like geographic coordinates (XMin >= -180 and XMax <= 180 and YMin >= -90 and YMax <= 90), ArcMap assumes the data is in decimal degrees and sets the MapUnits to esriDecimalDegrees and DistanceUnits to esriMiles.
If no spatial reference is found and the coordinates do not look like geographic coordinates, ArcMap sets no spatial reference and sets the MapUnits to esriMeters and the DistanceUnits to esriMeters.

Example:

 

MapControl m = new MapControl();   
IMap pMap;   
ISpatialReference pSpatialReference;   
IProjectedCoordinateSystem pProjectedCoordinateSystem;   
ILinearUnit pLinearUnit;   
ISpatialReferenceInfo pSpatialReferenceInfo;

pMap = m.getMap();   
System.out.println(pMap.getMapUnits());
pSpatialReference = pMap.getSpatialReference();   
pProjectedCoordinateSystem =

public int getDistanceUnits()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException
The distance units for the map.

Description

The units - for example, feet, miles, meters, kilometers - ArcMap uses to report measurements, dimensions of shapes, and distance tolerances and offsets.

Remarks

DistanceUnits is the predefined enumeration (esriUnits) data type currently associated with the Map object.
AddLayer automatically attempts to set the Map's SpatialReference property if a coordinate system has not yet been defined for the map. When the SpatialReference property is set, the Map's MapUnits and DistanceUnits properties are set as well.
When multiple layers are added simultaneously with AddLayers, the first spatial reference found is used.
If no layers have a spatial reference, AddLayer checks the extent of the first layer (ILayer::AreaOfInterest) and if it has coordinates that look like geographic coordinates (XMin >= -180 and XMax <= 180 and YMin >= -90 and YMax <= 90), ArcMap assumes the data is in decimal degrees and sets the MapUnits to esriDecimalDegrees and DistanceUnits to esriMiles.

getMapScale

public double getMapScale()
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
The scale of the map as a representative fraction.

Remarks

Scale is the relationship between the dimensions of features on a map and the geographic objects they represent on the earth, commonly expressed as a fraction or a ratio. A map scale of 1/100,000 or 1:100,000 means that one unit of measure on the map equals 100,000 of the same units on the earth.
The MapScale property is really a shortcut to IDisplayTransformation::ScaleRatio.

                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException
The reference scale of the map as a representative fraction.

Remarks

All symbols are drawn relative to the scale value set in this property. By default this value is zero. Symbol size is true at the reference scale. When the reference scale is 0, symbols are always drawn at the same size regardless of the map scale (ScaleRatio). For example, if you set your labels to display with 10 pt font, they will appear as 10 pt text at any map scale. When the reference scale is greater than 0, symbols are drawn at a size relative to the map scale. For example, if you set your labels to display with 10 pt font and have a reference scale of 10,000, the labels will appear as 10 pt only at that map scale; as you zoom in, the size of all symbols increases because the size of the symbols is based on the smaller scale.

The ReferenceScale property is a shortcut to IDisplayTransformation::ReferenceScale.

isFramed

public boolean isFramed()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Indicates if map is drawn in a frame rather than on the whole window.

Remarks

When creating a custom application, if you want the display to take over the window it's drawing in, set IsFramed to FALSE. This will add scrollbars (IScreenDisplay::UseScrollBars = TRUE) as necessary and keeps the device frame in sync with the window extent. Setting IsFramed to TRUE means that the display is drawing on some extent within the window. In this case, it won't show scrollbars and it won't automatically update the device frame.

For example, in the ArcMap application, in layout view where each Map resides inside a separate MapFrame, each Map has it IsFramed property set to TRUE. In data view, the opposite is true, a Map's display fits the entire window; in this view, all Map's have IsFramed set to FALSE, not just the focus map.

The IsFramed property also sets the IsFirstCacheTransparent property. When a Map is drawing in layout view, the PageLayout object has its ScreenDisplay and each Map has its own separate ScreenDisplay. This means that the layout has it's display cache(s) and the maps have their own. If the bottom cache of each map was opaque, you wouldn't be able to see through a map onto layout elements below it. Setting IsFirstCacheTransparent on the maps in layout view lets you see through the maps.

This property is really a shortcut to IScreenDisplay::IsFramed.

If you are working with Map's inside of ArcMap these settings should not be touched. Only use this property when building a low level appliation that uses a display to draw on a frame on a window.

getClipGeometry

                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException
A shape that layers in the map are clipped to.

Remarks

Use the ClipGeometry property to shape the area the Map is drawn in. For example, if you had a map of the United States that contained many layers, you could set the Map's ClipGeometry equal to the geometry of a particular state thereby telling the map to only draw the map data falling within the particular state's area.

The scripts below demonstrate this.

In the ArcMap user interface, the same functionality is available on the map's data frame properties page. Right-click on a map in the table of contents and select Properties. Select the Data Frame tab and look at 'Clip to Shape'. Under 'Specify a Shape', select 'Outline of Data Graphics'. You can also specify a 'Custom Extent' or use the 'Outline of Features'.

The ClipBorder property puts a border around the cut out.

By default there is no clip geometry and no clip border.

Example:

 

MapControl pMapControl = new MapControl();   
IMap pMap;   
IViewManager pViewManager;   
IEnumElement pEnumElement;   
IElement pElement;   
IActiveView pActiveView;   
 IBorder pBorder;

                                      AutomationException
Create and initialize a map surround. An optional style from the style gallery may be specified.

Remarks

The CreateMapSurround method creates a new MapSurround object based on the required GUID parameter. The optional style parameter specifies a partially initialized surround that comes from the style gallery. For example, there are an entire collection of north arrows in the style gallery, use this parameter to specify the desired one.
CreateMapSurround automatically calls AddMapSurround to associate the new surround with the Map.
In the ArcMap application, the model for MapSurround objects is that each surround is contained by a separate MapSurroundFrame which has a relation to a MapFrame which holds the Map. The CreateMapSurround method does not follow this model and is exposed for developers who want to create surrounds in a different window. To keep with ArcMap's surround model, use IMapFrame::CreateSurroundFrame. This method automatically creates a new MapSurroundFrame object with a MapSurround and associates them with the Map.

getClipBorder

public IBorder getClipBorder()
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException
An optional border drawn around ClipGeometry.

Remarks

If a ClipGeometry has been set, you have the option of drawing a border around the clipped map. Use the ClipBorder propety to specify the type of border drawn.

Use the ClipGeometry property to shape the area the Map is drawn in. For example, if you had a map of the United States that contained many layers, you could set the Map's ClipGeometry equal to the geometry of a particular state thereby telling the map to only draw the map data falling within the particular state's area.

By default there is no clip geometry or clip border.

Example:

MapControl pMapControl = new MapControl();   
IMap pMap;   
IViewManager pViewManager;   
IEnumElement pEnumElement;   
IElement pElement;   
IActiveView pActiveView;   
IBorder pBorder;


pMap = pMapControl.getMap();   
pViewManager = new IViewManagerProxy(pMap);   
pEnumElement = new IEnumElementProxy( pViewManager.getElementSelection());   
pEnumElement.reset();


pElement = pEnumElement.next();   
if(pElement != null){     
  if(pElement.getGeometry().getGeometryType() == 
     esriGeometryType.esriGeometryPolygon){       
    pBorder = new SymbolBorder();       
    pMap.setClipGeometry(pElement.getGeometry());

                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException
Indicates if the Map draws using symbol levels.

Description

Determines whether Symbol Level Drawing is enabled for a Map.

Remarks

Symbol Level Drawing is useful when creating large scale maps with intersecting and overlapping line features. For example, on a large scale reference map with intersecting highways and streets, Symbol Level Drawing helps you create high-quality representations of the street and highway street intersections.

To set up Symbol Level Drawing:

  1. Turn on Symbol Level Drawing using either for your layer using ISymbolLevels::UseSymbolLevels, or for your entire map using IMap::UseSymbolLevels.
  2. For each layer that you want to set up symbol levels for, access that layer's renderer using IGeoFeatureLayer::Renderer.
  3. Access your layer's symbol(s) through the renderer.
  4. Using IMapLevel, set symbol levels on your layer's symbols. Symbols with MapLevel = 0 draw first, then symbols with MapLevel = 1, continuing until the highest MapLevel is reached. If two symbols have the same MapLevel, then the features drawn with these symbols are drawn in the normal layer order. A MapLevel of -1 for a multilayer symbol (MultiLayerMarkerSymbol, MultiLayerLineSymbol, MultiLayerFillSymbol) indicates that each of the symbol's individual layers are drawn with their individual MapLevel .
