Interface IClassBreaksUIProperties

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassBreaksRenderer, LasPointElevationRenderer, TerrainPointAttributeRenderer, TerrainPointElevationRenderer, TinAspectRenderer, TinElevationRenderer, TinNodeElevationRenderer, TinSlopeRenderer

public interface IClassBreaksUIProperties
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control some user interface properties of a ClassBreaksRenderer. The properties set through this interface do NOT affect what is drawn on the map.

Description

IClassBreaksUIProperties affects the properties of the user interface for ClassBreakRenderer objects (Graduated colors and Graduated symbols). Setting properties on this interface does NOT affect the map display. Instead, changes made through this interface affect what appears on the layer symbology dialog. Typically these changes will reflect real changes made to the renderer properties through IClassBreaksRenderer.

Remarks

This interface is used by layer properties dialog's symbology tab to store additional values reflecting what the user has chosen. The properties of this interface are not parameters to rendering features, however keeping these values up-to-date keeps the ArcGIS layer user interface consistent with the current renderer settings. For example, the LowBreak values appear on the layer properties dialog's symbology tab in the Range column to complete the list of class ranges. Only the upper value of each class actually affects rendering, but by calculating the LowBreak values you keep the class list up to date and looking nice for the dialog users.

See the associated example for use of this interface.

When To Use

Use this interface to make changes to the user interface for a ClassBreaksRenderer.
