This parameter represents the outline pen that will be used on the style.

baseColor GeoColor

This parameter represents the base color that will be used in the class.

numberOfColors int

This prameter represents how many colors will be used in the style, based on the base color.

Remarks

None.

HueFamilyAreaStyle(GeoPen, GeoColor, int, PenBrushDrawingOrder)

This is the constructor the for the class.

public HueFamilyAreaStyle(GeoPen outlinePen, GeoColor baseColor, int numberOfColors, PenBrushDrawingOrder penBrushDrawingOrder)

Parameters

outlinePen GeoPen

This parameter represents the outline pen that will be used on the style.

Properties

BaseColor

This gets or sets the base color of the style.

public GeoColor BaseColor { get; set; }

Property Value

GeoColor

This gets or sets the base color of the style.

Remarks

None.

Cache

This gets the cached style in the class.

public Dictionary<string, AreaStyle> Cache { get; }

Property Value

Dictionary<string, AreaStyle>

This gets the cached style in the class.

Remarks

This gets the cached style in the class. The key of the style in the cache is feature.Id & feature.GetHashCode().

NumberOfColors

This gets or sets the number of colors in the style.

public int NumberOfColors { get; set; }

Property Value

int

This gets or sets the number of colors in the style.

Remarks

None.

Methods

ClearCache()

This method clears the cached style in the cache.

public void ClearCache()

Remarks

This method clears the cached style in the cache.

DrawCore(IEnumerable<Feature>, GeoCanvas, Collection<SimpleCandidate>, Collection<SimpleCandidate>)

This method draws the features on the view you provided.

protected override void DrawCore(IEnumerable<Feature> features, GeoCanvas canvas, Collection<SimpleCandidate> labelsInThisLayer, Collection<SimpleCandidate> labelsInAllLayers)

Parameters

features IEnumerable<Feature>

This parameter represents the features you want to draw on the view.

canvas GeoCanvas

This parameter represents the view you want to draw the features on.

labelsInThisLayer Collection<SimpleCandidate>

The labels will be drawn in the current layer only.

labelsInAllLayers Collection<SimpleCandidate>

The labels will be drawn in all layers.

Remarks

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 view 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.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

In the event you attempt to call this method when the GeoCanvas's IsDrawing mode is false, it will throw an InvalidOperationException.

If you pass a null as the view, we will throw an ArgumentNullException.

ArgumentNullException

If you pass a null as the features, we will throw an ArgumentNullException.
