Class: BaseLayer

ol/layer/Base~BaseLayer 


import BaseLayer from 'ol/layer/Base.js';

Abstract base class; normally only used for creating subclasses and not instantiated in apps. Note that with BaseLayer and all its subclasses, any property set in the options is set as a BaseObject property on the layer object, so is observable, and has get/set accessors.

new BaseLayer(options)

layer/Base.js, line 63
Name Type Description
className string (defaults to 'ol-layer')

A CSS class name to set to the layer element.
opacity number (defaults to 1)

Opacity (0, 1).
visible boolean (defaults to true)

Visibility.
extent Extent | undefined
