[mapguide-users] FeatureSource. PointTypeStyle? LineTypeStyle?

[Greenhough, Jamie]

Thanks Kenneth. I have just begun using the Maestro API. Thanks again
for all your work on this.

 

Using this API to access the layer properties does sound easier than
using a layerfactory to generate the LayerDefinition XML.

 

So I think I will need to create the VectorLayerDefinition,
VectorScaleRange, PointTypeStyle, PointSymbolization2DType,
MarkSymbolType, PointTypeStyleType, and FillType. Then put all these
pieces together into a LayerDefinition.

 

Am I missing something? Do you have any maestro code snippets that will
jumpstart my dev on this?

And some providers return the wrong results.
Rather than using the layerfactory method, have you tried the
MaestroAPI:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/MaestroAPI

Using the MaestroAPI, you can access the "PointTypeStyle" (and all other
properties),
 as a class rather than Xml.

Look at the class definition of the feature source it (the layer) is
referencing. More specifically, look at the geometry property and see
what
geometry types it supports. This will correspond with what styles you
can
have in your layer.

	Does anyone have experience with this?
