MGLFillExtrusionStyleLayer

 

@interface MGLFillExtrusionStyleLayer : MGLVectorStyleLayer

An MGLFillExtrusionStyleLayer is a style layer that renders one or more 3D extruded polygons on the map.

Use a fill-extrusion 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-extrusion 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-extrusion style layer and add it to the style using a method such as -[MGLStyle addLayer:].

See the Display 3D buildings example to learn how to add and style 3D layers on a map.

Example

let layer = MGLFillExtrusionStyleLayer(identifier: "buildings", source: buildings)
layer.sourceLayerIdentifier = "building"
layer.fillExtrusionHeight = NSExpression(forKeyPath: "height")
layer.fillExtrusionBase = NSExpression(forKeyPath: "min_height")
layer.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "extrude == 'true'")
mapView.style?.addLayer(layer)

  • Returns a fill-extrusion 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.
