MGLFillStyleLayer

 

@interface MGLFillStyleLayer : MGLVectorStyleLayer

An MGLFillStyleLayer is a style layer that renders one or more filled (and optionally stroked) polygons on the map.

Use a fill style layer to configure the visual appearance of polygon or multipolygon features. These features can come from vector tiles loaded by an MGLVectorTileSource object, or they can be MGLPolygon, MGLPolygonFeature, MGLMultiPolygon, or MGLMultiPolygonFeature instances in an MGLShapeSource or MGLComputedShapeSource object.

You can access an existing fill style layer using the -[MGLStyle layerWithIdentifier:] method if you know its identifier; otherwise, find it using the MGLStyle.layers property. You can also create a new fill style layer and add it to the style using a method such as -[MGLStyle addLayer:].

See the Select a feature within a layer example to learn how to use a TERNARY expression to modify the fillOpacity of an MGLFillStyleLayer object. See the Add a pattern to a polygon example to learn how to use an image to add pattern to the features styled by a MGLFillStyleLayer.

Example

let layer = MGLFillStyleLayer(identifier: "parks", source: parks)
layer.sourceLayerIdentifier = "parks"
layer.fillColor = NSExpression(forConstantValue: UIColor.green)
layer.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "type == %@", "national-park")
mapView.style?.addLayer(layer)

  • Returns a fill style layer initialized with an identifier and source.

    After initializing and configuring the style layer, add it to a map view’s style using the -[MGLStyle addLayer:] or -[MGLStyle insertLayer:belowLayer:] method.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nonnull instancetype)initWithIdentifier:(nonnull NSString *)identifier
                                    source:(nonnull MGLSource *)source;

    Swift

    init(identifier: String, source: MGLSource)

    Parameters

    identifier

    A string that uniquely identifies the source in the style to which it is added.
    source

    The source from which to obtain the data to style. If the source has not yet been added to the current style, the behavior is undefined.

    Return Value

    An initialized foreground style layer.
