Function Documentation

◆ ClearExtentHistory()

void AxMap.ClearExtentHistory ( )

Clears the extent history.

◆ LockWindow()

void AxMap.LockWindow ( tkLockMode  lockMode)

Locks the window so that any changes will not be displayed until it is unlocked.

This is very useful if you are making a large number of changes at once and don't want the map to be redrawn between each change. The changes of drawing options in the related classes (Shapefile, Labels, etc.) won't cause the redraw of the map even if it's not locked.

Parameters
lockModeThe state of the lock mode.
Examples
AddLayers.cs, ShapefileToDrawingLayer.cs, and SortLayers.cs.

◆ Undo()

virtual void AxMap.Undo ( )
virtual

Reverts the last operation performed by user in interactive ShapeEditor.

This method is preferable over AxMap.UndoList.Undo since it can also undo point added during creation of new shape, which are not registered in the undo list.

New API 4.9.3:
Added in version 4.9.3

◆ ZoomIn()

void AxMap.ZoomIn ( double  percent)

Zooms the display in by the given factor.

Parameters
percentA number between 0.0 and 1.0, being the factor to zoom in by.

◆ ZoomOut()

void AxMap.ZoomOut ( double  percent)

Zooms the display out by the specified factor.

Parameters
percentA number between 0.0 and 1.0, being the factor to zoom out by.

◆ ZoomToLayer()

void AxMap.ZoomToLayer ( int  layerHandle)

Zooms the map display to the specified layer.

Parameters
layerHandleThe handle of the layer to zoom to.
Examples
CreatePolygonShapefile.cs, PolygonsWithHoles.cs, and TrackCars.cs.

◆ ZoomToMaxExtents()

void AxMap.ZoomToMaxExtents ( )

Zooms the map to the maximum extents of all loaded layers.

Layers which are not visible are still used to compute maximum extents.

Examples
IntersectionLength.cs, Segmentation.cs, SelectByDistance.cs, SplitByAttribute.cs, and TrackCars.cs.

◆ ZoomToMaxVisibleExtents()

void AxMap.ZoomToMaxVisibleExtents ( )

Zooms the map to the maximum extents of all loaded visible layers.

Layers which are not visible are not used to compute maximum extents.

◆ ZoomToNext()

int AxMap.ZoomToNext ( )

Zooms the map view to the next extents if there are next extents in the extents history.

Returns
Returns the number of extents left in the extents history after zooming to previous extents.

◆ ZoomToPrev()

int AxMap.ZoomToPrev ( )

Zooms the map view to the previous extents if there are previous extents in the extents history.

Returns
Returns the number of extents left in the extents history after zooming to previous extents.

◆ ZoomToSelected()

bool AxMap.ZoomToSelected ( int  layerHandle)

Zoomes map to display selected shapes of the specified shapefile.

Parameters
layerHandleLayer handle of shapefile layer with selected shapes.
Returns
True on success.

If the layer isn't shapefile or there is no selected shapes in it, nothing will happen.

New API 4.9.0:
Added in version 4.9.0
Examples
SelectByQuery.cs.

◆ ZoomToShape()

void AxMap.ZoomToShape ( int  layerHandle,
int  shape 
)

Zooms the map display to the specified shape in the shapefile contained by the specified layer.

Parameters
layerHandleThe handle of the layer containing the shape to zoom to.
shapeThe index of the shape to zoom to.
Examples
ZoomToValues.cs.

◆ ZoomToTileLevel()

bool AxMap.ZoomToTileLevel ( int  zoom)

Zooms map to specified zoom level of the active tile provider (Tiles.Provider).

Parameters
zoomZoom level
Returns
True if the zooming took place.
New API 4.9.1:
Added in version 4.9.1

◆ ZoomToWorld()

bool AxMap.ZoomToWorld ( )

Zooms to World extents (-180.0; 180.0; -90.0; 90.0)

Projection should be specified for map in order for this methods to work.

Returns
True on success.
New API 4.9.0:
Added in version 4.9.0

Properties

◆ AnimationOnZooming

tkCustomState AxMap.AnimationOnZooming
getset

Gets or sets a value indicating whether animation will be displayed zooming map in or out.

Default csAuto value will display animation only if there are no data layers within visisble extents. Animation also won't be displayed if there are more than 4 zoom levels between current and target level.

New API 4.9.2:
Added in version 4.9.2

◆ CursorMode

tkCursorMode AxMap.CursorMode
getset

Gets or sets the cursor mode for the map.

The cursor mode determines how the map handles mouse click events on the map. The only mode not handled by the map is cmNone.

Examples
EditAttributes.cs, LabelSelection.cs, MarkPoints.cs, RemoveShape.cs, SelectBox.cs, ShowAttributes.cs, ToolTip.cs, and ZoomToValues.cs.

◆ DisableWaitCursor

bool AxMap.DisableWaitCursor
getset

Gets or sets a boolean value which indicates whether a wait cursor will be displayed on map redraw.

Examples
TrackCars.cs, and Tracking.cs.

◆ InertiaOnPanning

tkCustomState AxMap.InertiaOnPanning
getset

Gets or sets a value indicating whether animation will be displayed to simulate inertia after panning operation.

Default csAuto value will display animation only if there are no data layers within visisble extents.

Note
Mouse panning is somewhat more tricky than the one with smartphone's touch screen, so some practice may be needed to learn not to stop mouse motion before releasing the button )))
New API 4.9.2:
Added in version 4.9.2

◆ IsLocked

tkLockMode AxMap.IsLocked
getset

Checks to see if the map is currently locked or not.
