Description

This object is new at ArcGIS 9.3.

Remarks

WCSLayer accesses a coverage served through an OGC WCS service and visualize the pixels of the coverage in ArcGIS. An OGC coverage is similar to a raster in ArcGIS, and WCSLayer supports most of the functions that a RasterLayer provides. The display of a OGC coverage layer can be manipulated by accessing Renderer and other information throught IRasterLayer interface.

WCSLayer supports two types of renderers, RasterStretchColorRampRenderer and RasterRGBRenderer.

Product Availability

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

Remarks

The valid property indicates if the layer is currently valid. Layers that reference feature classes are valid when they hold a reference to a valid feature class. The property does not however validate the integrity of the feature classes reference to the database.

The spatial reference of the GeoDataset.

Remarks

This property is read only. For layers, when the first layer is added to ArcMap, its spatial reference is read by this property, and the map is set to this spatial reference.

Instances of the esriCarto.GroupLayer class will return null for this property, as a group layer can contain multiple datasets with different spatial references.

Modifications to a spatial reference returned by this property will not be persisted. To modify the spatial reference of a dataset, the IGeoDatasetSchemaEdit and IGeoDatasetSchemaEdit2 interfaces should be used.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getSpatialReference in interface IGeoDataset

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISpatialReference

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getExtent

public IEnvelope getExtent()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

The extent of the GeoDataset.

Remarks

The IGeoDataset::Extent property returns an envelope representing the maximum extent of data which has been stored in the dataset.

Consider the following scenario. A new feature class has features added to it. The IGeoDataset::Extent is then requested and an envelope is returned. The extents of the envelope returned are represented by the red box in the image below.

If a portion of the features were then deleted and the extent is again requested an envelope with the exact same extents as during the first request would be returned (see image below). This is because the deletion of features does not shrink the extent. However all additions of features outside the red box would increase the envelope returned to encompass the newly added features.

If you would like to update the IGeoDataset::Extent property to reflect the current features in your dataset please see IFeatureClassManage::UpdateExtent (also see IFeatureClassLoad). In the image below the extent has been updated and a new envelope is being returned.

ESRI's GroupLayer implements this property differently from most other layer coclasses. When you instantiate a new GroupLayer, this property will return a valid envelope with zero height and width. With most other newly instantiated layers (for example FeatureLayer, RasterLayer, TinLayer), this property initally returns Nothing.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Optional. Defines legend formatting for layer rendered with this object.

Remarks

Layer or renderer legend information is further formatted for display in ArcMap legends. A renderer can override this formatting by returning a LegendItem for this property. ESRI renderers typically do not return anything for this property. With this configuration, legend formatting becomes a user or developer choice on the legend object.

Indicates if symbols are graduated.

Description

Indicates whether the symbols used for a layer or renderer's legend vary by size.

Remarks

For example the proportional symbol renderer returns True for this property.

You can use this property to distinguish between a layer symbolized with graduated color or graduated symbol type layer symbology. Both of these symbolizations use a ClassBreaksRenderer, but only a graduated symbol symbolization will return True for this property.

identify

public IArray identify(IGeometry pGeom)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Identifies objects at the specified location.

Remarks

When the IIdentify interface is on a map layer, the Identify method returns an array of FeatureIdentifyObject objects.

On a FeatureIdentifyObject, you can do a QI to the IIdentifyObj interface to get more information about the identified feature. The IIdentifyObj interface returns the window handle, layer, and name of the feature; it has methods to flash the feature in the display and to display a context menu at the Identify location.

This method performs an identify operation with the provided geometry. When identifying layers, typically a small envelope is passed in rather than a point to account for differences in the precision of the display and the feature geometry.

getWorkspace

public IWorkspace getWorkspace()
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

The workspace containing this dataset.

Description

The Workspace property returns the containing workspace for this dataset.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getWorkspace in interface IDataset

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspace

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getPropertySet

public IPropertySet getPropertySet()
                            throws IOException,
                                   AutomationException

The set of properties for the dataset.

Description

The PropertySet property is used to return any additional intrinsic properties (but not metadata properties) that may apply to the dataset. One use of this property is to distinguish between the types of File Geodatabase datafile formats. If called on a Feature Class or Table in a File Geodatabase the Datafile Format property can either be esriFGDBStandardDatafile or esriFGDBCompressedDatafile.

Most datasets do not implement this property and will either raise an error or return a null value if it's called. There are a handful of exceptions that will return property sets; these include the datasets from file geodatabases (as mentioned above) and coverages.

Remarks

Examples of intrinsic properties for which explicit methods exist include the SpatialReference and the Extent methods available on the IGeoDataset interface. In most cases this PropertySet will be empty.

IDataset::PropertySet is not supported for Graph objects such as a Geometric Network.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getPropertySet in interface IDataset

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IPropertySet

canCopy

public boolean canCopy()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

True if this dataset can be copied.

Remarks

The CanCopy, CanDelete, and CanRename properties are meant to be used in conjunction with the Copy, Delete, and Rename methods and signify whether a dataset is supported by these methods. For example, you may not delete a network feature class nor can you use the Copy method on a Geodatabase feature class. To copy Geodatabase datasets, including feature classes, geometric networks, topologies, etc., use the IGeoDBDataTransfer interface.

The CanCopy method is supported by:

• CAD Drawings
• Coverages
• DBase Tables
• Info Tables
• Raster Datasets
• SDC datasets
• SDC Network Datasets
• Shapefiles
• Shapefile Network Datasets
