IRasterLayer Interface

Provides access to members that create or modify a raster layer.

Product Availability

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

Members

	Name	Description
	AreaOfInterest	The default area of interest for the layer.
	BandCount	Number of bands in the layer.
	Cached	Indicates if the layer needs its own display cache.
	ColumnCount	Number of columns in the layer.
	CreateFromDataset	Creates a layer from a RasterDataset object.
	CreateFromFilePath	Creates a layer from a file path to raster data.
	CreateFromRaster	Creates a layer from a Raster object.
	DataFrameExtent	Extent of the dataframe that contains the layer.
	DisplayResolutionFactor	Display resolution factor. Factor value is expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100.
	Draw	Draws the layer to the specified display for the given draw phase.
	FilePath	Filepath of the data source.
	MaximumScale	Maximum scale (representative fraction) at which the layer will display.
	MinimumScale	Minimum scale (representative fraction) at which the layer will display.
	Name	Layer name.
	PrimaryField	Layer's primary field.
	PyramidPresent	Indicates if pyramids are present for the layer.
	Raster	Layer's Raster object.
	Renderer	Layer's renderer.
	RowCount	Number of rows in the layer.
	ShowResolution	Indicates if the raster resolution should be displayed in the Table of Contents.
	ShowTips	Indicates if the layer shows map tips.
	SpatialReference	Spatial reference for the layer.
	SupportedDrawPhases	Supported draw phases.
	TipText	Map tip text at the specified location.
	Valid	Indicates if the layer is currently valid.
	Visible	Indicates if the layer is currently visible.
	VisibleExtent	Visible extent of the layer in the data frame.

Inherited Interfaces

Interfaces	Description
ILayer	Provides access to members that work with all layers.

CoClasses that implement IRasterLayer

CoClasses and Classes	Description
ImageServerLayer	Image server layer source and display options.
RasterLayer	Raster layer source and display options.
WCSLayer	WCS layer source and display options.

Remarks

The RasterLayer must be initialized with data before it can be used. When the layer is initialized, a default renderer is selected for the dataset based on the number of bands, statistics, and whether a colormap or other table exists for the data. Other internal properties of the layer are also set at this time.
