Description

This object extends ESRI's feature layer by adding another interface and changing the selection and drawing behavior to accommodate feature classes with temporal characteristics. In addition it supports some new drawing phases that allow efficient drawing of dynamically changing data or temporal attribution. The Temporal Feature Layer is capable of using any feature class, existing ESRI feature classes or real-time feature classes. This object makes a temporal index of the feature class in memory and uses this temporal index to obtain features for displaying, identification, {TBD}, etc… In addition it enables the user to control whether or not to cache these features and how much to cache about the temporal period of interest. All ESRI feature layers allow caching of the display drawn in one of the systems display cache and this object is no different. This enable us to cache the display and if there are not any changes then we don't have to re-render the features thus reducing the processing it takes to re-draw the feature class.

This object extends the ESRI drawing phase concept by introducing support for a new phase that enable just the changes to be drawn. This phase effectively just re-draws the features that have changed temporal symbology due to a change in the temporal reference property, features that should no longer be drawn are drawn with a neutral color determined by the temporal renderer. The temporal renderer effectively performs the drawing however the information about symbol changes are stored in the Temporal Records, one of this object's internal objects.

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.

The UID used for annotation properties.

Description

Indicates the CLSID of the labeling properties used to label the layer.

Remarks

ArcGIS provides two engines that can be used for labeling, the ESRI Standard Labeling Engine and the ESRI Maplex Labeling Engine.

You can use AnnotationPropertiesID determine which engine is being used by the layer to label features.

ESRI Standard Labeling Engine: GUID for LabelEngineLayerProperties = "{01004145-0D1C-11D2-A26F-080009B6F22B}"
ESRI Maplex Labeling Engine: GUID for MaplexLabelEngineLayerProperties = "{20664808-0D1C-11D2-A26F-080009B6F22B}"

You should not set this property. The labeling engine set for the map controls how each layer in the map will be labeled. To set this use IMap::AnnotationEngine. When the label engine is changed, the label properties of the all layers in the map will automatically be changed to properties of the new label engine.

If have a standalone layer that is not in a map, you can translate the properties to the other label engine by using IAnnotationPropertiesConverter on the coclass MaplexAnnotationPropertiesConverter.

Current map level for drawing symbols.

Remarks

When symbol level drawing is used, this property is used by the framework to communicate to a layer what the current symbol level being drawn is. Priori to ArcGIS 9.0 this was the only method by which this could be communicated to a layer. At ArcGIS 9.0 and later versions, IMapLevel::MapLevel can be used for this. IMapLevel is implemented by more layers than IGeoFeatureLayer, so a layer that does not participate in symbol level drawing, for example a RasterLayer, can still know the current symbol level.

Remarks

SearchDisplayFeatures works like IFeatureLayer::Search with the added behavior that it will work on joined fields if you qualify field names. For example, if you want to search a field called "Pop1990" from a joined table called "Demog", you should used "Demog.Pop1990" for the field name in the query filter used in the search method.

The IDisplayTable::SearchDisplayTable method is a similar search method which will work on feature layers as well as other types of layers and standalone tables. If you want your code to be generic enough to work on different types of layers, you should use IDisplayTable::SearchDisplayTable.

                             AutomationException
Creates a cursor based upon the search criteria.

Description

Use this method to return a read-only cursor of the layer's features.

Remarks

If there is a definition query set on the layer, the Search method will automatically work on the subset of features in the layer that meet the definition criteria. You specify an additional query that will be applied after the layer's definition query by passing valid IQueryFilter object for the QueryFilter parameter.

This Search method will not work on joined fields. If the FeatureLayer has any joins, you should use the IGeoFeatureLayer::SearchDisplayFeatures method instead.

You cannot use the cursor returned by IFeatureLayer::Search to update features, instead use IFeatureClass::Update.

Recycling specifies whether the resulting feature cursor will be recycling or non-recycling. Use True for recycling cursor and False for a non-recycling cursor. See the topic for IFeatureClass::Search for more information.

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.

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.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent

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.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent after some of the features have been deleted

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.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent after it has been updated

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.

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.

searchDisplayTable

public ICursor searchDisplayTable(IQueryFilter pQueryFilter,
                                  boolean recycling)
                           throws IOException,
                                  AutomationException
Creates a cursor from the display table based upon the search criteria.

Description

QueryFilter specifies an IQueryFilterObject to be used for the search.

Recycling specifies whether the resulting cursor is recycling or non-recycling. Use True for recycling cursor and False for a non-recycling cursor.

Remarks

If there is a definition query set on the layer or table, the SearchDisplayTable method will work on the subset of rows that meet the definition criteria. Otherwise, it will search the whole table.

SearchDisplayTable will return an ICursor with all of the rows that satisfy some attribute and/or spatial query as specified by an IQueryFilter object. If Nothing is given as the IQueryFilter, then the cursor will have all of the rows from the table.

This SearchDisplayTable method will also work on joined fields if you qualify the field names. For example, if you want to search a field called "Pop1990" from a joined table called "Demog", you should used "Demog.Pop1990" for the field name in the query filter used in the search method.

The Recycling parameter controls row object allocation behavior. Recycling cursors rehydrate a single row object on each fetch and can be used to optimize read-only access, for example, when drawing. It is illegal to maintain a reference on a row object returned by a recycling cursor across multiple calls to NextRow on the cursor. Row objects returned by a recycling cursor should not be modified.

Non-recycling cursors return a separate row object on each fetch. The objects returned by a non-recycling cursor may be modified and stored with polymorphic behavior. The geodatabase guarantees 'unique instance semantics' on non-recycling feature objects fetched during an edit session.

Recycling cursors should be used only for drawing and read-only access to object state. Use non-recycling search cursors to fetch objects that are to be updated.

createRow

public IRow createRow()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException
Creates a row in the database with a system assigned object ID and null property values.

Remarks

The CreateRow method creates a new row in the underlying database with a system assigned object id value. A row object representing the created row is returned to the caller. The row object returned has the system assigned object ID as the value of the OIDField. All other fields are initialized to null values if they can be made null and to built-in default values appropriate to the type of the field if they cannot be made null.

The caller is responsible for setting the desired field values into the row and calling the Store method on the row. If the table represents an object class with subtypes, then it is the caller’s responsibility to set the default subtype code into the row and call the InitDefaultValues method on the row before storing, if that is the desired result. For tables without object behavior, insert cursors offer a more efficient way for inserting new rows.

public IRow getRow(int oID)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException
The row from the database with the specified object ID.

Remarks

The GetRow method returns an existing row object, given its object ID value. The caller can query the returned row object for additional object specific interfaces. The retrieved row may be modified; calling Store on the row object after changing it will trigger messages to related objects and will mark the row for committing to the database.

                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
The cursor of rows based on a set of object ids.

Remarks

The GetRows method returns a cursor that may be used to retrieve a set of rows specified by the input array of object id values. See the description of the Search method to understand the meaning of the recycling parameter. It is far more efficient to retrieve a set of rows using the GetRows method than it is to retrieve each individual row using the GetRow method. The retrieved rows may be modified; Store should be called on the row objects after changing them.

The oids parameter should be passed an integer array. For example:

                                  AutomationException
Creates a row buffer that can be used with an insert cursor.

Remarks

The CreateRowBuffer method creates a new row buffer object in memory and returns it to the caller. No row is created in the database. The returned row buffer does not have an object ID value. The caller can set values into the row buffer and use it as an argument to the InsertRow method on an insert cursor; the latter is obtained by calling the Insert method on the Table.

update

public ICursor update(IQueryFilter queryFilter,

               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException
Returns a cursor that can be used to update Rows selected by the specified query.

Remarks

The Update method returns an update cursor that can be used to update or delete rows. It offers somewhat faster performance than multiple calls to Store or Delete on row objects fetched using a non-recycling search cursor for tables storing simple rows and simple features. There is no difference in performance for complex objects and features.

When using cursors within an edit session, they should always be scoped to edit operations. In other words, a cursor should be created after an edit operation has begun and should not be used once that edit operation has been stopped or aborted.

insert

public ICursor insert(boolean useBuffering)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException
Returns a cursor that can be used to insert new Rows.

Remarks

The Insert method returns an insert cursor that can be used to bulk insert rows. It offers significantly faster performance than multiple calls to CreateRow and Store for tables storing simple rows and simple features (that is, for tables whose CLSID is esriGeoDatabase.Row, esriGeoDatabase.Object, or esriGeoDatabase.Feature).

Insert cursors on tables containing complex objects use the CreateRow and Store methods to achieve polymorphism, and there is no difference in performance in these cases.

When using cursors within an edit session, they should always be scoped to edit operations. In other words, a cursor should be created after an edit operation has begun and should not be used once that edit operation has been stopped or aborted.

select

public ISelectionSet select(IQueryFilter queryFilter,
                            int selType,
                            int selOption,
                            IWorkspace selectionContainer)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException
A selection that contains the object ids selected by the specified query.

Remarks

The Select method returns a selection set that holds either row IDs or row objects from the Table depending on the selection option. Multiple selection sets can be created on the same table. It is up to a client application or object to keep a reference on created selections and use them as appropriate. For example, a FeatureLayer creates and uses selections on a FeatureClass (a type of Table).

The selType parameter determines the type of selection set that will be created: an ID set, a snapshot, or a hybrid. See the ISelectionSet interface for a comparison of the three types.

When calling Select the selectionContainer parameter is no longer required. A null value should be passed as this parameter.

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.

                                   AutomationException
Recompile Rate is the interval in milliseconds by which the dynamic layer draw method will be called, with the compiled draw phase.

Description

The DynamicRecompileRate is an interval in milliseconds that is used by the Dynamic Map in order to determine whether the Dynamic Layer’s DrawDynamicLayer method needs to be called with the Compiled Phase, in order to recompile the layer’s drawing commands into the layer’s display list.

Remarks

The DynamicLayer’s DrawDynamicLayer method of the Compiled Phase will be called, when the DynamicLayerDirty of the Compiled Phase is true, and only after the DynamicRecompileRate interval had elapsed. The underlying data-structure of the layer may already been updated, however the display would reflect these changes only after the time interval set by DynamicRecompileRate has elapsed.

Using the compiled rate is very efficient for layers that manage large amount of items where every item gets updated in a relatively low rate. This way, due to the large number of items, there are constant updates streaming in, however the changes will get accumulated and will be applied to the display, according to the DynamicRecompileRate interval. That is good, performance wise, since this method minimizes CPU usage, of iterating through the layer items and generating the draw commands, and minimizes bus traffic of the drawing commands to the graphic card.

Throws:

                             IDynamicDisplay dynamicDisplay)
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException
Draws the layer to the specified display for the given draw phase.

Remarks

Use this method to generate the Layer’s draw commands that correspond to the Dynamic Draw Phase.

Make sure to generate the draw commands at the desired Draw Phase. It is recommended for a Dynamic Layer to generate draw commands (and therefore be drawn) in one of the Dynamic Draw Phases, but not both. For example, if the layer is to be drawn only in the Immediate Phase, the method should inspect the drawing phase and only generate draw commands if enum esriDynamicDrawPhase is set to esriDDPImmediate.

Use the Dynamic Display API, and/or OpenGL API in order to generate the draw commands. In the context of the DrawDynamicLayer method, the OpenGL Rendering Context is active and is setup by the Dynamic Map.

Note: The Dynamic Display and OpenGL API's can safely be used only in the context of the IDynamicLayer.DrawDynamicLayer method and IDynamicMapEvents BeforeDynamicDraw\AfterDynamicDraw events. Any attempt to use them in any other context will result in unexpected behavior.

Returns recommended time interval to be used to animate this layer/ table.

Description

This property represents the time interval of the data used when rendering the layer. The time interval represents the minimum expected time between changes in the data. For example, when using weather imagery that is updated every 10 minutes, you would set the time interval to 10 minutes. When using census data that is recorded every year, the time interval would be set to 1 year. Note that this property is the value of the interval, and must be set along with the units for the time interval.

public double getTimeOffset()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException
Returns time offset that needs to be applied to the data for drawing.

Description

The TimeOffset is used to display data at a different time on the timeline. This is for temporary purposes only. It can be useful for comparing data sets from different time period when you need to display the two sets of data together. For example, to visualize the growth pattern of two wild fires that happened in two different years, one of the layers can be given an offset that will cause it to appear as if the fire started at the same time as the other fire. In this way the growth patterns can be seen together, and compared.
