Type Definitions

geo.textFeature.specgeo.feature.spec

Object specification for a text feature.

Properties:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
position	Array.<geo.geoPosition> | function	<optional>		The position of each data element. Defaults to the x, y, and z properties of the data element.
text	Array.<string> | function	<optional>		The text of each data element. Defaults to the text property of the data element.
style	geo.textFeature.styleSpec	<optional>		The style to apply to each data element.
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.textFeature.styleSpecgeo.feature.styleSpec

Style specification for a text feature.

Properties:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
visible	boolean | function	<optional>	true	If falsy, don't show this data element.
font	string | function	<optional>		A css font specification. This is of the form [style] [variant] [weight] [stretch] size[/line-height] family. Individual font styles override this value if a style is specified in each. See the individual font styles for details.
fontStyle	string | function	<optional>	'normal'	The font style. One of normal, italic, or oblique.
fontVariant	string | function	<optional>	'normal'	The font variant. This can have values such as small-caps or slashed-zero.
fontWeight	string | function	<optional>	'normal'	The font weight. This may be a numeric value where 400 is normal and 700 is bold, or a string such as bold or lighter.
fontStretch	string | function	<optional>	'normal'	The font stretch, such as condensed.
fontSize	string | function	<optional>	'medium'	The font size.
lineHeight	string | function	<optional>	'normal'	The font line height.
fontFamily	string | function	<optional>		The font family.
textAlign	string | function	<optional>	'center'	The horizontal text alignment. One of start, end, left, right, or center.
textBaseline	string | function	<optional>	'middle'	The vertical text alignment. One of top, hanging, middle, alphabetic, ideographic, or bottom.
color	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>	'black'	Text color. May include opacity.
textOpacity	number | function	<optional>	1	The opacity of the text. If the color includes opacity, this is combined with that value.
rotation	number | function	<optional>	0	Text rotation in radians.
rotateWithMap	boolean | function	<optional>	false	If truthy, rotate the text when the map rotates. Otherwise, the text is always in the same orientation.
textScaled	number | function	<optional>		If defined, the text is scaled when the map zooms and this is the basis zoom for the fontSize.
offset	geo.screenPosition | function	<optional>		Offset from the default position for the text. This is applied before rotation.
shadowColor	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>	'black'	Text shadow color. May include opacity.
shadowOffset	geo.screenPosition | function	<optional>		Offset for a text shadow. This is applied before rotation.
shadowBlur	number | null | function	<optional>		If not null, add a text shadow with this much blur.
shadowRotate	boolean | function	<optional>	false	If truthy, rotate the shadow offset based on the text rotation (the shadowOffset is the offset if the text has a 0 rotation).
textStrokeColor	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>	'transparent'	Text stroke color. May include opacity.
textStrokeWidth	geo.geoColor | function	<optional>	0	Text stroke width in pixels.
renderThreshold	number | function	<optional>		If this is a positive number, text elements may not be rendered if their base position (before offset and font effects are applied) is more than this distance in pixels outside of the current viewport. If it is known that such text elements cannot affect the current viewport, setting this can speed up rendering. This is computed once for the whole feature.

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).
