MapControl.ZoomToFitLayerItems(IEnumerable<LayerBase>, Double) Method

Zooms a map to fit items contained in the specified set of LayerBase class descendant objects.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

Declaration

C#

public void ZoomToFitLayerItems(
    IEnumerable<LayerBase> layers,
    double paddingFactor = 0.15
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ZoomToFitLayerItems(
    layers As IEnumerable(Of LayerBase),
    paddingFactor As Double = 0.15
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
layers	IEnumerable<LayerBase>	A IEnumerable object, containing LayerBase class descendant objects.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
paddingFactor	Double	0.15	A Double value, which tunes the border size around visible map items.

Remarks

This method works as follows.

• Calculates a bounding box around map items contained in specified layers.

  

• Zooms the map to fit the box. Note that the padding factor is applied to the larger dimension of box.

  The following image shows an instance of a horizontal dimension that is larger than the vertical. (“PF” stands for “Padding Factor” on images.)

  

  When the vertical dimension is larger than the horizontal, the zoom appears as follows.

  

Note that the padding factor is divided by two for each side of the region.

In using this code:

C#

map.ZoomToFit(new LayerBase[] {vectorLayer}, 0.3);

VB.NET

map.ZoomToFit(New LayerBase() {vectorLayer}, 0.3)

you will produce a map that looks like this:

Example

To zoom a map at application launch, call the ZoomToFitLayerItems method in the LayerBase.DataLoaded event handler. If you pass multiple vector layers to the ZoomToFitLayerItems method parameters, handle the DataLoaded event of the vector layer that is added to the MapControl.Layers collection last.

XAML

<dxm:MapControl>
  <dxm:VectorLayer x:Name="layer1">
      <dxm:MapItemStorage>
          <dxm:MapRectangle Height="21" Width="30">
              <dxm:MapRectangle.Location>
                  <dxm:GeoPoint Longitude="41.3" Latitude="-54.5"/>
              </dxm:MapRectangle.Location>
          </dxm:MapRectangle>
      </dxm:MapItemStorage>
  </dxm:VectorLayer>
  <dxm:VectorLayer x:Name="layer2" 
                  DataLoaded="VectorLayer_DataLoaded">
      <dxm:MapItemStorage>
          <dxm:MapEllipse Width="20" Height="15">
              <dxm:MapEllipse.Location>
                  <dxm:GeoPoint Longitude="43" Latitude="-57"/>
              </dxm:MapEllipse.Location>
          </dxm:MapEllipse>
      </dxm:MapItemStorage>
  </dxm:VectorLayer>
</dxm:MapControl>

The DataLoaded event’s handler:

C#

private void VectorLayer_DataLoaded(object sender, DataLoadedEventArgs e) {
    mapControl.ZoomToFitLayerItems(new LayerBase[] { layer1, layer2 }, 0.3);            
}

VB.NET

Private Sub VectorLayer_DataLoaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataLoadedEventArgs)
    mapControl.ZoomToFitLayerItems(New LayerBase() {layer1, layer2}, 0.3)
End Sub
