LAYERLIST

Used in: REQUEST
Servers: Image   Extract   ArcMap
Parent elements: PROPERTIES

<LAYERLIST	Attribute Description Table
When parent element is GET_EXTRACT: nodefault ="true \| false" [false] When parent element is GET_IMAGE using the ArcMap Server: order ="true \| false" [false] When parent element is GET_IMAGE using the Image Server: dynamicfirst ="true \| false" [false] nodefault ="true \| false" [false] order ="true \| false" [false] > (m) <LAYERDEF... /> </LAYERLIST >
(m): Child element can be used multiple times.

Description:

GET_IMAGE

GET_EXTRACT

Restrictions:

GET_IMAGE attributes are valid with Image Server only. They are not valid with ArcMap Server.

Notes:

By default in a GET_IMAGE request, the layers are drawn in the following order:
1. Layers in the ArcIMS service in the order they are defined in the service including acetate layers.
2. Dynamic layers added in the request in the order they are defined in the request.
When using the Image Server, the layer order can be changed by using the order attribute. When order is set to true, layers are drawn in the order they are listed in the LAYERLIST. This means that dynamic layers can be intermingled among the layers from the service. Both service layers and dynamic layers must be identified using LAYERDEF. The LAYER id must be unique among all service layers and dynamic layers.
The attribute dynamicfirst is ignored if nodefault and/or order is set to true.
For more information about using LAYERLIST in a request, including more examples, see Using GET_IMAGE and IMAGE with Image Services, Using GET_IMAGE and IMAGE with ArcMap Image Services, and Using GET_EXTRACT and EXTRACT.

Attribute Descriptions for LAYERLIST:

When parent element is GET_EXTRACT:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
nodefault	1 When set to "true", only the layers listed in the LAYERLIST are extracted. Only ArcIMS service and dynamic layers of type featureclass are extracted. Acetate and image layers included in the LAYERLIST are not extracted. If visible is set to "false" in LAYERDEF, then the layer is not included.

When parent element is GET_IMAGE using the ArcMap Server:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
order	1 When set to "true", only layers in the LAYERLIST are drawn. All layers, including acetate layers, must have a unique ID.

When parent element is GET_IMAGE using the Image Server:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
dynamicfirst	1 When set to "true", draws all dynamic layers before any layers defined in the service.
nodefault	2 When set to "true", only ArcIMS service, dynamic layers, and acetate layers included in the LAYERLIST are displayed on the map. Service layers are displayed first followed by dynamic layers in the order they appear in the map configuration file and request, respectively. When nodefault is "false", all dynamic and service layers are included. In both cases, if visible is set to "false" in LAYERDEF, then the layer does not display.
order	3 When set to "true", draws layers in the order listed in the LAYERDEF elements. Only layers in the LAYERLIST are drawn. Can include ArcIMS service layers, dynamic layers, and acetate layers in any order. All layers, including acetate layers, must have a unique ID.
