<!– Class –> This class is used to draw area features.

You should use this class to draw area features. You can specify a base color and the number of colors you want based on that color to draw the interior, and you can specify an outline pen with which to draw the border. You can optionally choose to use only the outline pen or the fill brush to generate different effects.

This method draws the features on the canvas you provided.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method DrawCore. In this method, we take the features you passed in and draw them on the canvas you provided. Each style (based on its properties) may draw each feature differently.

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.

This method returns the column data for each feature that is required for the style to properly draw.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method GetRequiredColumnNamesCore. In this method, we return the column names that are required for the style to draw the feature properly. For example, if you have a style that colors areas blue when a certain column value is over 100, then you need to be sure you include that column name. This will ensure that the column data is returned to you in the feature when it is ready to draw.

In many of the styles, we add properties to allow the user to specify which field they need; then, in the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore we read that property and add it to the collection.

This method draws the features on the canvas you provided.

This overridden method is called from the concrete public method Draw. In this method, we take the features you passed in and draw them on the canvas you provided. Each style (based on its properties) may draw each feature differently.

When overriding this method, consider each feature and its column data values. You can use the full power of the GeoCanvas to do the drawing. If you need column data for a feature, be sure to override the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore and add the columns you need to the collection. In many of the styles, we add properties to allow the user to specify which field they need; then, in the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore, we read that property and add it to the collection.

This property returns a collection of area styles, allowing you to stack multiple area styles on top of each other.

Using this collection, you can stack multiple area styles on top of each other. When we draw the features, we will draw them in order that they exist in the collection. You can use these stacks to create drop shadow effects, multiple colored outlines, etc.

This property gets and sets the solid brush you want to use to fill in the area features.

This solid brush is used to fill in the area features that will draw. You can also optionally specify an outline pen to give the area an outline. The default solid brush has a fill color of transparent, which means it will not draw anything.

This property gets and sets the active status of the style.

If the style is not active then it will not draw.

This property gets and set the name of the style.

This name is not used by the system; it is only for the developer. However, it can be used if you generate your own legend.

This property gets and sets the outline pen you want to use to outline the features.

This outline pen is used to outline the features that will draw. You can also optionally specify a fill brush to give the area a solid fill. The default outline pen color is transparent, which means it will not draw anything.

This property gets and sets the pen and brush drawing order.

This property controls whether the outline pen or the fill brush is drawn first. The default is for the fill brush to be drawn first. If you have the outline pen draw first then the thickness of the pen will be smaller, creating a subtle but noticeable effect.

This property gets the collection of fields that are required for the style.

This property gets the collection of fields that are required for the style. These are in addition to any other columns you specify in styles that inherit from this one. For example, if you have use a ValueStyle and it requires a column name for the value comparison, then that column does not need to be in this collection. You only use the RequiredColumnNames for columns you need beyond those required by specific inherited styles.

This property gets and sets the X pixel offset for drawing each feature.

This property allows you to specify an X offset. When combined with a Y offset, it enables you to achieve effects such as drop shadows, etc. There also may be times when you need to modify the location of feature data so as to align it with raster satellite data.
