Map layer visibility

[joleenf]

Hi,

This is an addition to Inquiry 1691. Could there be a scripting command to turn off the map layer visibility in the same way as other layers so that the entire layer can be visible/not visible?

Hi Joleen,

We do need a method to turn off all the maps. My guess is you already know this one, but you can use this example:

panel=buildWindow(height=512,width=1024)
panel[0].getLayer(0).setLayerVisible(False)

Hi Joleen-

I've added inq. 1741 for this addition as well.

Thanks, Jay

Hi Rick and Jay,

Thanks for the information. Rick, that method is more straightforward than what I was using, so it is already better.

Rick,

I just found this slightly more descriptive way of getting the map layer

mapLayer=activeDisplay().getMapLayer()
