This is a reference to a vector layer object. Use the ENVIView::CreateLayer method to create an ENVIVectorLayer object.
Example
e = ENVI()
file = FILEPATH('states.shp', $
SUBDIRECTORY = ['examples','data'])
vector = e.OpenVector(file)
view = e.GetView()
layer = view.CreateLayer(vector)
Return Value
This function returns a reference to an ENVIVectorLayer object.

Properties
Properties marked as (Get) can be retrieved, but not set.
COLOR (Get, Set)
The vector color. Colors can be specified in the following ways:
- Using a string that contains a standard color name. You can use any of the string values defined by the !COLOR system variable.
- Using a string that contains a hexadecimal color value, preceded by the # symbol.
- Using a three-element RGB vector [red, green, blue].
For example, the following values all specify the same color:
"light_blue"
"#ADD8E6"
[173, 216, 230]
For vector points, this property describes the symbol color. For vector polylines and polygons, this property describes the line color.
Note: When you retrieve the COLOR property, the returned value will always be a three-element RGB vector, regardless of how the color was initially specified.
DATA (Get)
The ENVIVector displayed on this layer.
FILL_COLOR (Get, Set)
The color for the filled polygon area. You can specify color values in multiple formats, as with the COLOR property. This property is ignored if FILL_INTERIOR is not set.
This property is valid only for polygon vectors.
FILL_INTERIOR (Get, Set)
Set this property to 1 to fill the area enclosed by the polygon. Set this property to 0 to clear the polygon. The default value is 0.
This property is valid only for polygon vectors.
HIDE (Get, Set)
Set this property to 1 to hide the layer, and to 0 to display it. The default value is 0.
LINESTYLE (Get, Set)
Set this property to a numerical index or a string containing the line style name or abbreviation. The return value for the property is a numerical index only. This property is valid only for polygon and polyline vectors.
The valid values are:
|
Index |
String (case insensitive)
|
|
0 |
'solid' or '-'(dash)
|
|
1 |
'dot' or ':'(colon)
|
|
2 |
'dash' or '--' (double dashes)

|
4 |
'dash dot dot dot' or '-:'
|
|
5 |
'long dash' or '__' (double underscores)
|
|
6 |
'none' or ' ' (space)
|
NAME (Get, Set)
Specify a string value with the name of the layer.
SYMBOL_SIZE (Get, Set)
Set this property to a floating-point value specifying the plot symbol size. This property is valid only for point vectors. The default value is 8.
SYMBOL_TYPE (Get, Set)
Set this property to a numerical index or a string containing the symbol type name or abbreviation. The return value for the property is a numerical index only. This property is valid only for point vectors. All strings are case-sensitive.
The valid values are:
|
Index |
String (case-sensitive)
|
|
0 |
'None' (the default)

THICKNESS (Get, Set)
Set this property to a value between 0 and 10 that specifies the thickness of the line displayed in the vector layer. This property is valid only for polygon and polyline vectors. The default value is 1 for shapefiles.
TRANSPARENCY (Get, Set)
Specify a floating-point value between 0 (opaque) and 100 (invisible) that defines the transparency of the layer. The default value is 0.
ZOOM_PERCENT (Get)
The current zoom percentage of the layer. For example, ZOOM_PERCENT=200 means the layer is zoomed by 200%.
