===== Public Methods =====
==== Close() ====
This method closes the Layer and releases any resources it was using.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method CloseCore. The close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the Layer. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

If you override this method, it is recommended that you take the following things into account: This method may be called multiple times, so we suggest you write the method so that that a call to a closed Layer is ignored and does not generate an error. We also suggest that in the Close you free all resources that have been opened. Remember that the object will not be destroyed, but will be re-opened possibly in the near future.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== Open() ====
This method opens the Layer so that it is initialized and ready to use.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method OpenCore. The open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the Layer. Most methods on the Layer will throw an exception if the state of the Layer is not opened. When the map draws each layer, the layer will be opened as one of its first steps; then, after it is finished drawing with that layer, it will close it. In this way, we are sure to release all resources used by the Layer.

When implementing the abstract method, consider opening the FeatureSource or RasterSource. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the Layer.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs.

The method will raise an exception if the current Layer is already open.
