FeatureSymbology.Overrides Class

Allows a Viewport to customize the appearance of individual Features within it.

The Viewport computes its base Overrides based on the following:

  • The set of categories enabled for display in its CategorySelectorState. Every SubCategory belonging to an enabled Category is added to the set of visible subcategories - all other subcategories are assumed to be invisible.
  • For the set of visible subcategories, any SubCategoryOverrides defined by the view's DisplayStyleState are applied. This may render some subcategories invisible, and change the symbology of others.
  • The visibility of each GeometryClass is set based on the view's ViewFlags.
  • The line weight is overridden to 1 pixel for all Features if line weight has been disabled by the view's ViewFlags.
  • The sets of elements which are always drawn and never drawn are initialized from the Viewport's sets. An application can further customize the symbology of any Features by registering a FeatureOverrideProvider with a Viewport. That provider's addFeatureOverrides function will be invoked whenever the Overrides need to be regenerated.

To override the symbology of most Features within a view, specify a defaultOverrides to be applied to any Feature not explicitly overridden. If default overrides are defined and some Features should draw normally without being affected by the default overrides, override that Feature with an Appearance which defines no overrides.

It is possible to override multiple aspects of a Feature. For example, you might specify that all elements belonging to subcategory "A" should be drawn in red, and that the element with Id "0x123" should be drawn with 0.25 transparency. In this case, when drawing a Feature with subcategory "A" and element Id "0x123", the two overrides will be merged, causing the Feature's geometry to draw 25% transparent red. On the other hand, if subcategory "A" is specified to draw in red and element "0x123" to draw in green, the color specified by the element override will take precedence over that specified for the subcategory, resulting in a green Feature.
