bin(valopt, actualValueopt) → {number|this}

Description:

  • Get/Set bin of the feature. The bin number is used to determine the order of multiple features on the same layer. It has no effect except on the webgl renderer. A negative value hides the feature without stopping interaction with it. Otherwise, features with higher bin numbers are drawn above those with lower bin numbers. If two features have the same bin number, their order relative to one another is indeterminate and may be unstable.

Source:
Inherited From:
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
val number <optional>

The new bin number. If undefined, return the current bin number. If null, the bin is dynamically computed based on order within the parent. If children are nested, this may not be what is desired.
actualValue boolean <optional>

If truthy and val is undefined, return the actual value of bin, rather than the dynamically computed value.
Returns:

The current bin number or a reference to this.
