AGSServiceImageTiledLayer Class Reference

Description

A base class for all image tiled layers that fetch map tiles from a remote service.

Subclasses represent layers which display pre-cached maps from tiled services.

Once you set the request information (AGSServiceImageTiledLayer::setRequestWithTileKey:URL:parameters:) then the request will be sent over the network for you.

The service image tiled layer class is derived from the image tiled layer class.

Method Documentation

◆ cancelLoad

- (void) cancelLoad
requiredinherited

Cancels loading if it is in progress, otherwise it does nothing. This should be called carefully because other objects could be waiting for loadWithCompletion: or retryLoadWithCompletion: to complete and this will call them all back with the error of NSUserCancelledError

Since
100

◆ doCancelLoading

- (void) doCancelLoading

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when cancelLoad (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to cancel loading their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) at the end passing in an error representing NSUserCancelledError.

Since
100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ doStartLoading:

- (void) doStartLoading: (BOOL)  retrying

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when loadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) or retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to load their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) upon completion, passing in the error if any.

Parameters
retryingflag that is true if this method was called from retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p).
Since
100

◆ fetchLegendInfosWithCompletion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) fetchLegendInfosWithCompletion: (void(^)(NSArray< AGSLegendInfo * > *__nullable legendInfos, NSError *__nullable error))  completion

Fetches the array of legend infos (AGSLegendInfo) for this layer.

Since
100

◆ imageTiledLayerWithTileInfo:fullExtent:

+ (instancetype) imageTiledLayerWithTileInfo: (AGSTileInfo *)  tileInfo
fullExtent: (AGSEnvelope *)  fullExtent 

Creates a custom tiled layer with the provided details.

Parameters
tileInfospecifying the tiling scheme used by the layer.
fullExtentof the layer.
Returns
A new tiled layer.
Since

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ initWithTileInfo:fullExtent:

- (instancetype) initWithTileInfo: (AGSTileInfo *)  tileInfo
fullExtent: (AGSEnvelope *)  fullExtent 

Initialize the custom tiled layer with the provided details

Parameters
tileInfospecifying the tiling scheme used by the layer
fullExtentof the layer
Returns
Initialized tiled layer
Since
100

Implements AGSImageTiledLayer.

Provided by category AGSServiceImageTiledLayer(CustomTiledLayer).

◆ isEqualToLayer:

- (BOOL) isEqualToLayer: (AGSLayer *)  other

◆ isVisibleAtScale:

- (BOOL) isVisibleAtScale: (double)  scale

Check whether this layer is visible at a given scale.

Since
100

◆ loadDidFinishWithError:

- (void) loadDidFinishWithError: (nullable NSError *)  error

Only subclasses should call this method in doStartLoading: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) and doCancelLoading (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) when done loading or failed to load.

Since
100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ loadWithCompletion:

- (void) loadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error))  completion
requiredinherited

Loads data for the object asynchronously. The completion block is invoked upon completion.

You can call this method any number of times, however only one attempt is made to load the data. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load (i.e. not force a reload). If it has already loaded successfully, the completion block will be invoked right away. If it has already failed to load, the completion block will be invoked right away with error previously encountered. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters
completionblock that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.
Note
The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

- retryLoadWithCompletion: to force reload

◆ onLoadStatusChanged

- (void) onLoadStatusChanged

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when AGSLoadable::loadStatus changes is called. Subclasses can optionally implement this to know when their loading status has changed.

Since
100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey:

- (void) respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey: (AGSTileKey *)  tileKey

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer does not find a tile.

Parameters
tileKeyspecifying the tile that was requested.
Since
100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ respondWithTileKey:data:error:

- (void) respondWithTileKey: (AGSTileKey *)  tileKey
data: (nullable NSData *)  data
error: (nullable NSError *)  error 

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer has successfully retrieved the tile requested in tileRequestHandler, or if an error is encountered while retrieving the tile.

Parameters
tileKeyspecifying the tile that was requested.
datafor the retrieved tile if the operation was successful.
errorencountered while retrieving the tile if the operation failed.
Since
100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ retryLoadWithCompletion:

- (void) retryLoadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error))  completion
requiredinherited

Tries to reload when an object has failed to load. This method should be called judiciously. It should be called when:

  1. you didn't have network connectivity earlier when it failed and you want to retry now that you have connectivity
  2. the server was down earlier when it failed and you want to retry
  3. the request is taking too long and you want to cancel it and retry, in which case you will first call cancelLoad and then this method

If the data hasn't started loading, it will start loading. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load. If it has already loaded successfully, calls back right away. If it has already failed to load, tries again. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters
completionblock that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.
Note
The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

Since

◆ noDataTileBehavior

- (AGSNoDataTileBehavior) noDataTileBehavior
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Determines how a tile request that returns 'NoData' is resampled.

Zooming in can result in tile requests with no tiles at the requested level of detail.

In this case, there are options that control what to display where the tile should be:

  • AGSNoDataTileBehaviorUpSample - Resample the pixels from a lower level of detail tile. This can result in pixelation or blurriness. This is the default behavior for operational layers.
  • AGSNoDataTileBehaviorBlank - The 'NoData' pixels will show the raster picture as being blank (or disappearing). This is the default behavior for basemap reference layers.
  • AGSNoDataTileBehaviorShow - This will show the raster picture with the text 'No Data' stamped over it once you pass the lowest level-of-detail scale

Sometimes, to see the effect on the map when setting the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior property, the AGSLayer::maxScale value must also be explicitly set. The AGSLayer::maxScale property may need to be smaller than the level-of-detail setting that was used to create the tiled images in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop. For example, consider an operational image tiled layer showing forest cover that was created with the level-of-detail assumption that it was to be viewed above a scale of 5000 (meaning you will not see 'NoData' until you zoom closer to the Earth than a 5000 scale). However, you want to be able to zoom in closer to the Earth surface, say down to 3000 or 300. By setting the AGSLayer::maxScale property to a number smaller than 5000, you will be able to zoom in closer to the Earth and see the effects of changing the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior enumerations.
