Type Definitions

geo.markerFeature.specgeo.feature.spec

Object specification for a marker feature.

Properties:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
position	geo.geoPosition | function	<optional>		Position of the data. Default is (data).
style	geo.markerFeature.styleSpec	<optional>		Style object with default style options.
layer	geo.layer	<optional>		the parent layer associated with the feature.
selectionAPI	boolean | 'auto'	<optional>	'auto'	If 'auto', enable selection events if any geo.event.feature events are bound to the feature. Otherwise, if truthy, enable selection events on the feature. Selection events are those in geo.event.feature. They can be bound via a call like feature.geoOn(geo.event.feature.mousemove, function (evt) { // do something with the feature }); where the handler is passed a geo.event.feature object.
visible	boolean	<optional>	true	If truthy, show the feature. If falsy, hide the feature and do not allow interaction with it.
gcs	string	<optional>		The interface gcs for this feature. If undefined or null, this uses the layer's interface gcs. This is a string used by geo.transform.
bin	number	<optional>	null	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, more 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. A value of null will use the current position of the feature within its parent's list of children as the bin number.
renderer	geo.renderer	<optional>		A reference to the renderer used for the feature. If null or unset or identical to layer.renderer(), the layer's renderer is used.

geo.markerFeature.styleSpecgeo.feature.styleSpec

Style specification for a marker feature.

Properties:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
radius	number | function	<optional>	5	Radius of each marker in pixels. This includes the stroke width if strokeOffset is -1, excludes it if strokeOffset is 1, and includes half the stroke width if strokeOffset is 0. Note that is radiusIncludesStroke is false, this never includes the stroke width.
strokeColor	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>		Color to stroke each marker.
strokeOpacity	number | function	<optional>	1	Opacity for each marker's stroke. Opacity is on a [0-1] scale. Set this or strokeWidth to zero to not have a stroke.
strokeWidth	number | function	<optional>	1.25	The weight of the marker's stroke in pixels. Set this or strokeOpacity to zero to not have a stroke.
strokeOffset	number | function	<optional>	-1	The position of the stroke compared to the radius. This can only be -1, 0, or 1 (the sign of the value is used).
radiusIncludeStroke	boolean | function	<optional>	true	If truthy or undefined, the radius includes the strokeWidth based on the strokeOffset. If defined and falsy, the radius does not include the strokeWidth.
fillColor	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>		Color to fill each marker.
fillOpacity	number | function	<optional>	1	Opacity for each marker. Opacity is on a [0-1] scale. Set to zero to have no fill.
symbol	number | function	<optional>	0	One of the predefined symbol numbers. This is one of geo.markerFeature.symbols.
symbolValue	number | Array.<number> | function	<optional>	0	A value the affects the appearance of the symbol. Some symbols can take an array of numbers.
rotation	number | function	<optional>	0	The rotation of the symbol in clockwise radians.
scaleWithZoom	geo.markerFeature.scaleMode | function	<optional>	'none'	This determines if the fill, stroke, or both scale with zoom. If set, the values for radius and strokeWidth are the values at zoom-level zero.
rotateWithMap	boolean | function	<optional>	false	If truthy, rotate symbols with the map. If falsy, symbol orientation is absolute.
origin	Array.<number> | function	<optional>		Origin in map gcs coordinates used to ensure high precision drawing in this location. When called as a function, this is passed the maker positions as a single continuous array in map gcs coordinates. It defaults to the first marker's position.

inherited updateStyleFromArray(keyOrObject, styleArray, refresh){this}

feature.js, line 570

Set style(s) from array(s). For each style, the array should have one value per data item. The values are not converted or validated. Color values should be geo.geoColorObjects. If invalid values are given the behavior is undefined. For some feature styles, if the first entry of an array is itself an array, then each entry of the array is expected to be an array, and values are used from these subarrays. This allows a style to apply, for instance, per vertex of a data item rather than per data item.

feature.js, line 680

Get/Set the visibility of the feature.

Name	Type	Description
val	boolean	optional A boolean to change the visibility, or undefined to return the visibility.
direct	boolean	optional If true, when getting the visibility, disregard the visibility of the parent layer, and when setting, refresh the state regardless of whether it has changed or not. Otherwise, the functional visibility is returned, where both the feature and the layer must be visible for a true result.

Returns:

Type	Description
boolean | this	Either the visibility (if getting) or the feature (if setting).
