ArcObjects Library Reference (GlobeCore)  

IGlobeLayerProperties2 Interface

Provides access to members that manipulate the globe layer properties. Note: the IGlobeLayerProperties2 interface has been superseded byIGlobeLayerProperties4. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

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

Description

IGlobeLayerProperties2 interface has methods and properties mainly focused towards enhancing the performance of displaying and cache management of layers in the globe.

The IsMapConsolidatedParent and IsMapConsolidatedChild can be used to render group layer with a large number of children layers (rasterized features and images) in globe. The StrictOnDemandMode property allows you to display data on-demand, which means that only data within the view is displayed in the globe. As you navigate around more and more data is made available or visible depending on your location on the globe. The TextureDownsamplingFactor and TextureCompressionType are useful in displaying textured buildings and also images in the globe.
