IGlobeLayerProperties Interface

Provides access to members that manipulate the globe layer properties. Note: the IGlobeLayerProperties interface has been superseded by IGlobeLayerProperties4. 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

	Name	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.
	Connect	Connect to layer to receive events.
	Disconnect	Disconnect from layer to stop receiving events.
	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.
	EstimateThresholdDistanceFromCutLOD	Suggests the visibility distance that corresponds to given cut-off LOD.
	EstimateThresholdDistances	Suggests visibility distance range for the layer.
	Extent	The extent of the layer, including elevation.
	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.
	HasOIDs	Indicates if the feature data has object IDs.
	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.
	IsConfigLoaded	Indicates if the cache config parameters have been loaded from an existing cache.
	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.

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

Classes that implement IGlobeLayerProperties

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;
}
