[OpenLayers-Dev] rules and filters. i'm confused [solved]

[Dejung Gewissler]

I am pretty sure that the styling classes and data formats are separate 
because I actually use GML also in a similar fashion. It seems that the 
difference now is in the Rule class. Before the filters were in the Rule 
class, but now they have moved to a Filter class. That was my problem.

The example below uses the new Filter class and since you are using 
OpenLayers.Layer.GML it expects the data to be in GML (unless you 
specify a different format like I did previously).

    var selectStyle = new OpenLayers.Style({"strokeColor": "red", 
"strokeOpacity": 1, "strokeWidth": 3, "strokeLinecap": "round"});
    var c_style = new OpenLayers.Style();
    var c_l = new OpenLayers.Rule({
        filter: new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
            type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO,
            property: "pop2000",
            value: 44000
        }),
        symbolizer: {
            Polygon: {fillColor: "#FFFF00", strokeColor: "blue"}
        }
    });
               
    var c_else = new OpenLayers.Rule({
        elseFilter: true,
        symbolizer: {
            Polygon: {fillColor: "#0000FF", strokeColor: "blue"}
        }
    });

    c_style.addRules([c_l, c_else]);
   
    var cLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("Counties", "data/counties.txt",
        {visibility:false,
            styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
                "default": c_style,
                "select": selectStyle})       
        }
    );
    OGIS.map.addLayer(cLayer);

Hope that helps,
Dejung
