This is the base class for all renderers.
This is based on a merger code written by Paul Spencer and Bertil Chapuis. It is largely composed of virtual functions that are to be implemented in technology-specific subclasses, but there is some generic code too.
The functions that are implemented here merely deal with the maintenance of the size and extent variables, as well as the cached ‘resolution’ value.
A note to the user that all subclasses should use getResolution() instead of directly accessing this.resolution in order to correctly use the cacheing system.

{Boolean} If the renderer is currently in a state where many things are changing, the ‘locked’ property is set to true. This means that renderers can expect at least one more drawFeature event to be called with the ‘locked’ property set to ‘true’: In some renderers, this might make sense to use as a ‘only update local information’ flag.
{OpenLayers.Map} Reference to the map -- this is set in Vector’s setMap()
| containerID | {String} |
| options | {Object} options for this renderer. See sublcasses for supported options. |
setExtent: function( extent, resolutionChanged )
Set the visible part of the layer.
Resolution has probably changed, so we nullify the resolution cache (this.resolution) -- this way it will be re-computed when next it is needed. We nullify the resolution cache (this.resolution) if resolutionChanged is set to true - this way it will be re-computed on the next getResolution() request.
| extent | {OpenLayers.Bounds} |
| resolutionChanged | {Boolean} |
setSize: function( size )
Sets the size of the drawing surface.
Resolution has probably changed, so we nullify the resolution cache (this.resolution) -- this way it will be re-computed when next it is needed.
| size | {OpenLayers.Size} |
drawFeature: function( feature, style )
Draw the feature. The optional style argument can be used to override the feature’s own style. This method should only be called from layer.drawFeature().
| feature | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} |
| style | {<Object>} |
{Boolean} true if the feature has been drawn completely, false if not, undefined if the feature had no geometry
drawGeometry: function( geometry, style, featureId )
Draw a geometry. This should only be called from the renderer itself. Use layer.drawFeature() from outside the renderer. virtual function
| geometry | {OpenLayers.Geometry} |
| style | {Object} |
| featureId | {String} |
drawText: function( featureId, style, location )
Function for drawing text labels. This method is only called by the renderer itself.
| featureId | {String} style - |
| location | {OpenLayers.Geometry.Point} |
getFeatureIdFromEvent: function( evt )
Returns a feature id from an event on the renderer. How this happens is specific to the renderer. This should be called from layer.getFeatureFromEvent(). Virtual function.
| evt | {OpenLayers.Event} |
{String} A feature id or null.
eraseFeatures: function( features )
This is called by the layer to erase features
| features | {Array(OpenLayers.Feature.Vector)} |
eraseGeometry: function( geometry, featureId )
Remove a geometry from the renderer (by id). virtual function.
| geometry | {OpenLayers.Geometry} |
| featureId | {String} |
moveRoot: function( renderer )
moves this renderer’s root to a (different) renderer. To be implemented by subclasses that require a common renderer root for feature selection.
| renderer | {OpenLayers.Renderer} target renderer for the moved root |
{Object} Properties from this symbolizer will be applied to symbolizers with missing properties. This can also be used to set a global symbolizer default in OpenLayers. To be SLD 1.x compliant, add the following code before rendering any vector features:
OpenLayers.Renderer.defaultSymbolizer = {
fillColor: "#808080",
fillOpacity: 1,
strokeColor: "#000000",
strokeOpacity: 1,
strokeWidth: 1,
pointRadius: 3,
graphicName: "square"
};
destroy: function()
This should be overridden by specific subclasses
