Properties

Name	Type	Description
`brightness`	number \| undefined	Brightness.
`contrast`	number \| undefined	Contrast.
`renderOrder`	function	Render order. Function to be used when sorting features before rendering. By default features are drawn in the order that they are created. Use `null` to avoid the sort, but get an undefined draw order.
`hue`	number \| undefined	Hue.
`minResolution`	number \| undefined	The minimum resolution (inclusive) at which this layer will be visible.
`maxResolution`	number \| undefined	The maximum resolution (exclusive) below which this layer will be visible.
`opacity`	number \| undefined	Opacity. 0-1. Default is `1`.
`saturation`	number \| undefined	Saturation.
`source`	ol.source.Vector	Source.
`style`	ol.style.Style \| Array.<ol.style.Style> \| ol.feature.StyleFunction \| undefined	Layer style.
`visible`	boolean \| undefined	Visibility. Default is `true` (visible).

Methods

bindTo Stability: experimental

The bindTo method allows you to set up a two-way binding between a source and target object. The method returns an ol.ObjectAccessor with a transform method that lets you transform values on the way from the source to the target and on the way back.

For example, if you had two map views (sourceView and targetView) and you wanted the target view to have double the resolution of the source view, you could transform the resolution on the way to and from the target with the following:

sourceView.bindTo('resolution', targetView)
  .transform(
    function(sourceResolution) {
      // from sourceView.resolution to targetView.resolution
      return 2 * sourceResolution;
    },
    function(targetResolution) {
      // from targetView.resolution to sourceView.resolution
      return targetResolution / 2;
    }
  );

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`key`	string		Key name.
`target`	ol.Object		Target.
`targetKey`	string	<optional>	Target key.

`value`	*	Value.

Inherited From:

ol.Object#set

Source:

object.js, line 415

setBrightness Stability: experimental

Adjust the layer brightness. A value of -1 will render the layer completely black. A value of 0 will leave the brightness unchanged. A value of 1 will render the layer completely white. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect (values are clamped between -1 and 1).

The filter effects draft [1] says the brightness function is supposed to render 0 black, 1 unchanged, and all other values as a linear multiplier.

The current WebKit implementation clamps values between -1 (black) and 1 (white) [2]. There is a bug open to change the filter effect spec [3].

TODO: revisit this if the spec is still unmodified before we release

setContrast Stability: experimental
