ArcObjects Library Reference (GlobeCore)

IGlobeLayerProperties Interface

Provides access to members that manipulate the globe layer properties. Note: the IGlobeLayerProperties interface has been superseded byIGlobeLayerProperties4. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

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

Description

Use the IGlobeLayerProperties interface to manage the 3D properties of an individual data layer in the globe.

Members

		Description
	ApplyDisplayProperties	Applies the display properties of the layer.
	BaseImageDrawingPriority	Indicates the drawing priority for images on the globe.
	CacheName	The path to the layer cache.
	CacheRemovalOption	The cache removal option.
	EstimateFeatureLODRange	Suggests LOD range values for the layer.
	EstimateSymbologyScalingFactor	Suggests the scaling factor of meters-per-point to be applied on symbol sizes during rasterization.
	EstimateThresholdDistances	Suggests visibility distance range for the layer.
	FloatingSeeThroughOrder	Indicates the see-through order for a floating layer.
	FullCacheOption	Indicates if the layer should be fully cached.
	GetExtent	Calculate the extent of the layer, including elevation.
	GetLossyCompressionOption	Gets the lossy compression option and compression quality.
	GlobeDisplay	The globe display.
	HeightProperties	The height properties.
	ImageCatalogCrossoverLevel	Crossover Level of Detail (0-31) for image catalog layers.
	ImageSamplingMode	Image sampling mode for display.
	IMSConnection	The IMS connection, if it exists.
	InitCacheName	Initializes the cache name.
	InvalidateCache	Indicates if changes in the properties have made the cache invalid (must be refreshed).
	IsCacheNameValid	Indicates if the path to the layer cache is valid.
	IsConsolidatedChild	Indicates if the cache is consolidated into the parent's.
	IsConsolidatedParent	Indicates if the group layer cache consolidates some of the children.
	IsDisconnected	Indicates if the layer is not associated with a data source.
	IsDynamicallyRasterized	Indicates if the feature data is to be rasterized.
	IsExtruded	Indicates if the feature data is to be extruded.
	IsFullyCached	Indicates if the layer is fully cached.
	MasterLayer	The layer that defines properties for an elevation layer. Null if the layer is its own master.

	maxLOD	Maximum LOD allowed.
	MinimumCellSize	Minimum cell size for rasters, in meters.
	MinimumDistance	The minimum distance at which the layer is visible.
	minLOD	Minimum LOD allowed.
	PerTileVisibility	Indicates if the visibility threshold is applied per tile.
	PutLossyCompressionOption	Puts the lossy compression option and compression quality.
	RasterTileSize	Rasterized vector tile size.
	Scale3DSymbols	Indicates if the the 3D symbols will be scaled with the distance.
	SymbologyScalingFactor	The scaling factor of meters-per-point to be applied on symbol sizes during rasterization.

	ValidateType	Validates the data type.
	VectorTileSize	Maximum vector tile size.

CoClasses that implement IGlobeLayerProperties

CoClasses and Classes	Description
GlobeLayerProperties	The layer extension containing globe layer properties.

[C#]

The following code gives you a handle to the IGlobeLayerProperties of a layer.

public IGlobeLayerProperties GetGlobeLayerProperties(ILayer pLayer)
{
IGlobeLayerProperties pGlobeLyrProps = null;
ILayerExtensions pLyrExtensions;
pLyrExtensions = (ILayerExtensions)pLayer;

//loop over layer extensions
for(int i=0; i<pLyrExtensions.ExtensionCount; i++)
{
  if(pLyrExtensions.get_Extension(i) is IGlobeLayerProperties)
  {
   pGlobeLyrProps = (IGlobeLayerProperties)pLyrExtensions.get_Extension(i);
   break;
  }
}

return pGlobeLyrProps;
}
