setBrightness(brightness) inherited experimental

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 285

Adjust the layer brightness. A value of -1 will render the layer completely black. A value of 0 will leave the brightness unchanged. A value of 1 will render the layer completely white. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect (values are clamped between -1 and 1).

The filter effects draft [1] says the brightness function is supposed to render 0 black, 1 unchanged, and all other values as a linear multiplier.

The current WebKit implementation clamps values between -1 (black) and 1 (white) [2]. There is a bug open to change the filter effect spec [3].

TODO: revisit this if the spec is still unmodified before we release

[1] https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/raw-file/tip/filters/index.html [2] https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/8f4765e569 [3] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15647

Name	Type	Description
brightness	number	The brightness of the layer.

setContrast(contrast) inherited experimental

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 299

Adjust the layer contrast. A value of 0 will render the layer completely grey. A value of 1 will leave the contrast unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect (and values over 1 are permitted).

Name	Type	Description
contrast	number	The contrast of the layer.

setExtent(extent) inherited

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 323

Set the extent at which the layer is visible. If undefined, the layer will be visible at all extents.

Name	Type	Description
extent	ol.Extent | undefined	The extent of the layer.

setHue(hue) inherited experimental

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 311

Apply a hue-rotation to the layer. A value of 0 will leave the hue unchanged. Other values are radians around the color circle.

Name	Type	Description
hue	number	The hue of the layer.

setMap(map) experimental

src/ol/layer/layer.js, line 162

Sets the layer to be rendered on a map. The map will not manage this layer in its layers collection, layer filters in ol.Map#forEachLayerAtPixel will not filter the layer, and it will be rendered on top. This is useful for temporary layers. To remove an unmanaged layer from the map, use #setMap(null).

To add the layer to a map and have it managed by the map, use ol.Map#addLayer instead.

Name	Type	Description
map	ol.Map	Map.

setMaxResolution(maxResolution) inherited

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 334

Set the maximum resolution at which the layer is visible.

Name	Type	Description

Set the minimum resolution at which the layer is visible.

Name	Type	Description
minResolution	number	The minimum resolution of the layer.

setOpacity(opacity) inherited

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 356

Set the opacity of the layer, allowed values range from 0 to 1.

Name	Type	Description
opacity	number	The opacity of the layer.

setProperties(values) inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 216

Sets a collection of key-value pairs. Note that this changes any existing properties and adds new ones (it does not remove any existing properties).

Name	Type	Description
values	Object.<string, *>	Values.

setSaturation(saturation) inherited experimental

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 371

Adjust layer saturation. A value of 0 will render the layer completely unsaturated. A value of 1 will leave the saturation unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers of the effect (and values over 1 are permitted).

Name	Type	Description
saturation	number	The saturation of the layer.

setSource(source)

src/ol/layer/layer.js, line 192

Set the layer source.

Name	Type	Description

Set the visibility of the layer (true or false).

Name	Type	Description
visible	boolean	The visibility of the layer.

setZIndex(zindex) inherited experimental

src/ol/layer/layerbase.js, line 394

src/ol/object.js, line 229

Unsets a property.
