Name Type Description options
Options.
Name Type Description className
string (defaults to 'ol-layer') A CSS class name to set to the layer element.
opacity
number (defaults to 1) Opacity (0, 1).
visible
boolean (defaults to true) Visibility.
extent
module:ol/extent~Extent The bounding extent for layer rendering. The layer will not be rendered outside of this extent.
zIndex
number The z-index for layer rendering. At rendering time, the layers will be ordered, first by Z-index and then by position. When
undefined
, azIndex
of 0 is assumed for layers that are added to the map'slayers
collection, orInfinity
when the layer'ssetMap()
method was used.minResolution
number The minimum resolution (inclusive) at which this layer will be visible.
maxResolution
number The maximum resolution (exclusive) below which this layer will be visible.
minZoom
number The minimum view zoom level (exclusive) above which this layer will be visible.
maxZoom
number The maximum view zoom level (inclusive) at which this layer will be visible.
renderOrder
module:ol/render~OrderFunction Render order. Function to be used when sorting features before rendering. By default features are drawn in the order that they are created. Use
null
to avoid the sort, but get an undefined draw order.renderBuffer
number (defaults to 100) The buffer in pixels around the viewport extent used by the renderer when getting features from the vector source for the rendering or hit-detection. Recommended value: the size of the largest symbol, line width or label.
source
module:ol/source/Vector~VectorSource Source.
map
module:ol/PluggableMap~PluggableMap Sets the layer as overlay on a map. The map will not manage this layer in its layers collection, and the layer will be rendered on top. This is useful for temporary layers. The standard way to add a layer to a map and have it managed by the map is to use
map.addLayer()
.declutter
boolean (defaults to false) Declutter images and text on this layer. The priority is defined by the
zIndex
of the style and the render order of features. Higher z-index means higher priority. Within the same z-index, a feature rendered before another has higher priority.style
module:ol/style/Style~StyleLike Layer style. See
the style docs
for the default style that will be used if this is not defined.imageRatio
number (defaults to 1) Ratio by which the rendered extent should be larger than the viewport extent. A larger ratio avoids cut images during panning, but will cause a decrease in performance.

#get()
and#set()

Methods
-
Increases the revision counter and dispatches a 'change' event.
-
Dispatches an event and calls all listeners listening for events of this type. The event parameter can either be a string or an Object with a
type
property.Name Type Description event
module:ol/events/Event~BaseEvent | string Event object.
Returns:
false
if anyone called preventDefault on the event object or if any of the listeners returned false.
-
Gets a value.
Name Type Description key
string Key name.
Returns:
Value.
-
Return the
extent
of the layer orundefined
if it will be visible regardless of extent.Returns:
The layer extent.
-
getFeatures(pixel){Promise.<Array.<module:ol/Feature~Feature>>} inherited
-
Get the topmost feature that intersects the given pixel on the viewport. Returns a promise that resolves with an array of features. The array will either contain the topmost feature when a hit was detected, or it will be empty.
The hit detection algorithm used for this method is optimized for performance, but is less accurate than the one used in
module:ol/PluggableMap~PluggableMap#getFeaturesAtPixel
: Text is not considered, and icons are only represented by their bounding box instead of the exact image.Name Type Description pixel
module:ol/pixel~Pixel Pixel.
Returns:
Promise that resolves with an array of features.
-
Get a list of object property names.
Returns:
List of property names.
-
Return the maximum resolution of the layer.
Returns:
The maximum resolution of the layer.
-
Return the maximum zoom level of the layer.
Returns:
The maximum zoom level of the layer.
-

The minimum resolution of the layer.
-

Returns:
The minimum zoom level of the layer.
-
Return the opacity of the layer (between 0 and 1).
Returns:
The opacity of the layer.
-
Get an object of all property names and values.
Returns:
Object.
-
Get the version number for this object. Each time the object is modified, its version number will be incremented.
Returns:
Revision.
-
Get the layer source.
Returns:
The layer source (ornull
if not yet set).

undefined
, the layer will be visible at all extents.Name Type Description extent
module:ol/extent~Extent | undefined The extent of the layer.
-
Sets the layer to be rendered on top of other layers on a map. The map will not manage this layer in its layers collection, and the callback in
module:ol/Map~Map#forEachLayerAtPixel
will receivenull
as layer. This is useful for temporary layers. To remove an unmanaged layer from the map, use#setMap(null)
.To add the layer to a map and have it managed by the map, use
module:ol/Map~Map#addLayer
instead.Name Type Description map
module:ol/PluggableMap~PluggableMap Map.

-
Set the style for features. This can be a single style object, an array of styles, or a function that takes a feature and resolution and returns an array of styles. If set to
