Method Detail

isCustomLayer

public boolean isCustomLayer()

Description copied from interface: ILayer

Returns TRUE if the layer will be visualized by a custom layer (see AbstractCustomLayer) instead of the standard TimelineObjectLayer. The custom layer implementation needs to be provided by the application code. An implementation of ILayerFactory or a subclass of DefaultLayerFactory needs to be provided, which returns the custom layer implementation when the factories create method for custom layers gets invoked.

Specified by:

isCustomLayer in interface ILayer

Returns:

TRUE if the layer is a custom layer

setCustomLayer

public void setCustomLayer(boolean b)

Specifies whether the layer will be visualized by a custom layer implementation.

Parameters:

b -
