Method Detail

getMapControl

MapControl getMapControl()

You can use it to interact with the MapControl component that will receive the new layer, in order to get user feedback (for instance a bounding box). Check the PrepareContextView_v1.isMapControlAvailable() method before accessing the MapControl because it may not be available (for instance when adding layers to a MapContext not associated with a View). For the moment, this method will return a non-null MapControl for compatibility reasons, but you should still check PrepareContextView_v1.isMapControlAvailable() to be sure it is a valid one, as it could only be a fake MapControl. It is recommended to use PrepareContextView_v1.getMapContext() method when no interaction is needed with the map user interface (for instance to get the active projection, visible extent, etc)

Returns:

Returns the mapCtrl.
