HERE Maps API for JavaScript - API Reference: Class: DomLayer

Table of Contents

Class: DomLayer

H.map.layer.DomLayer

new H.map.layer.DomLayer (renderCallback, opt_options)

This class represents a layer to render DOM nodes on the map.

The element argument for the render callback is a DOM element where the layer's content has to be represented as child nodes.

Name Type Description
renderCallback function(Element, H.map.render.RenderingParams): H.map.render.RenderState

A custom callback to render the layer's content in each animation frame. The return value of the render callback indicates the rendering state. See H.map.render.RenderState. If render callback returns H.map.render.RenderState.DONE or H.map.render.RenderState.PENDING the rendering engine might go to sleep mode. Call this.dispatchEvent('update') to restart the rendering engine. Note that in order to have higher rendering performance and responsiveness of the map it is recommended to execute any expensive operations asynchronously or – even better – in a web worker and perform only the absolute necessary operations synchronously within the render callback.

opt_options H.map.layer.Layer.Options optional

An optional configuration object

Example
map.addLayer(new H.map.layer.DomLayer(function(element, renderParams) {
  element.innerHTML =
      "<div style='position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;color:red'>" +
      "Zoom: " + renderParams.zoom + ", Bounding Box Center: " + renderParams.boundingBox.getCenter() +
      "</div>"
  return H.map.render.RenderState.DONE;
}));

Extends

Members

max number inherited

This property holds a value of the maximum zoom level at which the given layer can be rendered.

min number inherited

This property holds the value of the minimum zoom level at which the given layer can be rendered.

pixelProjection H.geo.PixelProjection non-null inherited

This property indicates the projection type for the given layer.

Methods

addEventListener (type, handler, opt_capture, opt_scope) inherited

This method adds a listener for a specific event.

Note that to prevent potential memory leaks, you must either call removeEventListener or dispose on the given object when you no longer need it.

addOnDisposeCallback (callback, opt_scope) inherited

This method adds a callback which is triggered when the EventTarget object is being disposed.

Name Type Description
callback function

The callback function.

opt_scope Object optional

An optional scope for the callback function

dispatchEvent (evt) inherited

This method dispatches an event on the EventTarget object.

Name Type Description
evt H.util.Event | string

An object representing the event or a string with the event name

dispose () inherited

This method removes listeners from the given object. Classes that extend EventTarget may need to override this method in order to remove references to DOM Elements and additional listeners.

getCopyrights (boundingBox, level)Array.<!H.map.ICopyright> inherited

This method retrieves the copyright of the current data provider.

Note: This function must be overridden by any class derived from Layer. The default implementation returns null.

Name Type Description
boundingBox H.geo.Rect

The bounding box for which to retrieve the copyright information

level number

The zoom level for which to retrieve the copyright information

Returns:
Type Description
Array.<!H.map.ICopyright> A list of copyright information objects for the provided area and zoom level

This method returns the provider which feeds this layer with data.

Returns:
Type Description
H.map.provider.Provider this layer's provider

isValid (zoomLevel)boolean inherited

This method checks if a zoom level can be served by the given layer.

Name Type Description
zoomLevel number

The zoom level to check

Returns:
Type Description
boolean true if the given layer can provide data for the zoom level, otherwise false

removeEventListener (type, handler, opt_capture, opt_scope) inherited

This method removes a previously added listener from the EventTarget instance.

This method sets the maximum zoom level at which the given layer provides content.

Name Type Description
max number

The new maximum zoom level for the given layer

Throws:

if the max parameter is not a number or if it is smaller that the current minimum zoom level

Type
H.lang.InvalidArgumentError
Returns:
Type Description
H.map.layer.Layer An object representing the given layer

This method sets the minimum zoom level at which the given layer provides content.

Name Type Description
min number

The new minimum zoom level for the given layer

Throws:

if the min parameter is not a number or if it is larger that the current maximum zoom level

Type
H.lang.InvalidArgumentError
Returns:
Type Description
H.map.layer.Layer An object representing the given layer

Events

update inherited

Event fired when the data associated with the given layer is updated.
