Geo Tiff Image Layer
Displays a tiled GeoTIFF — an orthophoto, a scanned chart, a colour-mapped raster — as an ordinary image layer. Tiles are resampled straight out of the file's own tile grid at the overview level closest to each tile's resolution, so the layer costs the same per frame whether the source is 50 MB or 50 GB.
The layer holds the dataset open for as long as it is displayed; close releases the underlying file. A clone shares the dataset with its original, so close only once.
Properties
Cache identity of this layer's tile source, or null when the layer isn't wired through a cache (network-only). Walks the layer's tile factory chain, looking for a CachedSourceInfoProvider — typically a CachedTileSource that wraps an IDB / gpkg / filesystem TileStore.
The open GeoTIFF backing this layer.
Functions
One-stop accessor for "this image layer's content view." Lookup order:
Download every tile within sector across the resolution range into the layer's underlying TileStore (when the layer was constructed with a CachedTileSource). Returns the launched Job for cancellation; returns null when the layer's tile factory isn't backed by a TileSourceFactoryAdapter (i.e. no source-based wiring, so bulk-via-source is impossible).
Toggle the cache-only flag on a cache-attached layer or coverage.
