MGLFillStyleLayer

@interface MGLFillStyleLayer : MGLVectorStyleLayer

An MGLFillStyleLayer is a style layer that renders one or more filled (and optionally stroked) polygons on the map.

Use a fill style layer to configure the visual appearance of polygon or multipolygon features. These features can come from vector tiles loaded by an MGLVectorTileSource object, or they can be MGLPolygon, MGLPolygonFeature, MGLMultiPolygon, or MGLMultiPolygonFeature instances in an MGLShapeSource or MGLComputedShapeSource object.

You can access an existing fill style layer using the -[MGLStyle layerWithIdentifier:] method if you know its identifier; otherwise, find it using the MGLStyle.layers property. You can also create a new fill style layer and add it to the style using a method such as -[MGLStyle addLayer:].

Example

let layer = MGLFillStyleLayer(identifier: "parks", source: parks)
layer.sourceLayerIdentifier = "parks"
layer.fillColor = NSExpression(forConstantValue: UIColor.green)
layer.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "type == %@", "national-park")
mapView.style?.addLayer(layer)

-initWithIdentifier:source:

Returns a fill style layer initialized with an identifier and source.

After initializing and configuring the style layer, add it to a map view’s style using the -[MGLStyle addLayer:] or -[MGLStyle insertLayer:belowLayer:] method.

Declaration

Objective-C

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithIdentifier:(nonnull NSString *)identifier
                                source:(nonnull MGLSource *)source;

Swift

init(identifier: String, source: MGLSource)

Parameters

identifier

A string that uniquely identifies the source in the style to which it is added.

source

The source from which to obtain the data to style. If the source has not yet been added to the current style, the behavior is undefined.

Return Value

An initialized foreground style layer.

Accessing the Layout Attributes
