DingiStyle


@interface DingiStyle : NSObject

The proxy object for the current map style.

DingiStyle provides a set of convenience methods for changing Mapbox default styles using -[DingiMapView styleURL]. Learn more about Mapbox default styles.

It is also possible to directly manipulate the current map style via -[DingiMapView style] by updating the style’s data sources or layers.

Note

Wait until the map style has finished loading before modifying a map’s style via any of the DingiStyle instance methods below. You can use the -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapView:didFinishLoadingStyle:] or -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap:] methods as indicators that it’s safe to modify the map’s style.
  • Returns the URL to the current version of the Mapbox Streets style as of publication.

    Streets is a general-purpose style with detailed road and transit networks.

    DingiMapView and DingiTilePyramidOfflineRegion use Mapbox Streets when no style is specified explicitly.

    Warning

    The return value may change in a future release of the SDK. If you use any feature that depends on a specific aspect of a default style – for instance, the minimum zoom level that includes roads – use the -streetsStyleURLWithVersion: method instead. Such details may change significantly from version to version.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, nonatomic, class) NSURL *_Nonnull englishStyleURL;

    Swift

    class var englishStyleURL: URL { get }
  • Returns the URL to the given version of the Mapbox Streets style.

    Streets is a general-purpose style with detailed road and transit networks.

    DingiMapView and DingiTilePyramidOfflineRegion use Mapbox Streets when no style is specified explicitly.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull NSURL *)englishStyleURLWithVersion:(NSInteger)version;

    Swift

    class func englishStyleURL(withVersion version: Int) -> URL

    Parameters

    version

    A specific version of the style.

  • Returns the URL to the current version of the Mapbox Outdoors style as of publication.

    Outdoors is a general-purpose style tailored to outdoor activities.

    Warning

    The return value may change in a future release of the SDK. If you use any feature that depends on a specific aspect of a default style – for instance, the minimum zoom level that includes roads – use the -outdoorsStyleURLWithVersion: method instead. Such details may change significantly from version to version.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, nonatomic, class) NSURL *_Nonnull banglaStyleURL;

    Swift

    class var banglaStyleURL: URL { get }
  • Returns the URL to the given version of the Mapbox Outdoors style.

    Outdoors is a general-purpose style tailored to outdoor activities.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull NSURL *)banglaStyleURLWithVersion:(NSInteger)version;

    Swift

    class func banglaStyleURL(withVersion version: Int) -> URL

    Parameters

    version

    A specific version of the style.

  • The name of the style.

    You can customize the style’s name in Mapbox Studio.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, copy, atomic, nullable) NSString *name;

    Swift

    var name: String? { get }
  • A set containing the style’s sources.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic)
        NSSet<__kindof DingiSource *> *_Nonnull sources;

    Swift

    var sources: Set<AnyHashable> { get set }
  • Values describing animated transitions to changes on a style’s individual paint properties.

    Swift

    var transition: DingiTransition { get set }
  • Returns a source with the given identifier in the current style.

    Note

    Source identifiers are not guaranteed to exist across styles or different versions of the same style. Applications that use this API must first set the style URL to an explicitly versioned style using a convenience method like +[DingiStyle outdoorsStyleURLWithVersion:], DingiMapView’s “Style URL” inspectable in Interface Builder, or a manually constructed NSURL. This approach also avoids source identifer name changes that will occur in the default style’s sources over time.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nullable DingiSource *)sourceWithIdentifier:(nonnull NSString *)identifier;

    Swift

    func source(withIdentifier identifier: String) -> DingiSource?

    Return Value

    An instance of a concrete subclass of DingiSource associated with the given identifier, or nil if the current style contains no such source.

  • Adds a new source to the current style.

    Note

    Adding the same source instance more than once will result in a MGLRedundantSourceException. Reusing the same source identifier, even with different source instances, will result in a MGLRedundantSourceIdentifierException.

    Note

    Sources should be added in -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapView:didFinishLoadingStyle:] or -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap:] to ensure that the map has loaded the style and is ready to accept a new source.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)addSource:(nonnull DingiSource *)source;

    Swift

    func addSource(_ source: DingiSource)

    Parameters

    source

    The source to add to the current style.

  • Removes a source from the current style.

    Note

    Source identifiers are not guaranteed to exist across styles or different versions of the same style. Applications that use this API must first set the style URL to an explicitly versioned style using a convenience method like +[DingiStyle outdoorsStyleURLWithVersion:], DingiMapView’s “Style URL” inspectable in Interface Builder, or a manually constructed NSURL. This approach also avoids source identifer name changes that will occur in the default style’s sources over time.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)removeSource:(nonnull DingiSource *)source;

    Swift

    func removeSource(_ source: DingiSource)

    var layers: [DingiStyleLayer] { get set }
  • Returns a style layer with the given identifier in the current style.

    Note

    Layer identifiers are not guaranteed to exist across styles or different versions of the same style. Applications that use this API must first set the style URL to an explicitly versioned style using a convenience method like +[DingiStyle outdoorsStyleURLWithVersion:], DingiMapView’s “Style URL” inspectable in Interface Builder, or a manually constructed NSURL. This approach also avoids layer identifer name changes that will occur in the default style’s layers over time.

    - (nullable DingiStyleLayer *)layerWithIdentifier:
        (nonnull NSString *)identifier;

    Swift

    func layer(withIdentifier identifier: String) -> DingiStyleLayer?

    Return Value

    An instance of a concrete subclass of DingiStyleLayer associated with the given identifier, or nil if the current style contains no such style layer.

  • Adds a new layer on top of existing layers.

    Note

    Adding the same layer instance more than once will result in a MGLRedundantLayerException. Reusing the same layer identifer, even with different layer instances, will also result in an exception.

    Note

    Layers should be added in -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapView:didFinishLoadingStyle:] or -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap:] to ensure that the map has loaded the style and is ready to accept a new layer.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

  • Inserts a new layer into the style at the given index.

    Note

    Adding the same layer instance more than once will result in a MGLRedundantLayerException. Reusing the same layer identifer, even with different layer instances, will also result in an exception.

    Note

    Layers should be added in -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapView:didFinishLoadingStyle:] or -[DingiMapViewDelegate mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap:] to ensure that the map has loaded the style and is ready to accept a new layer.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)insertLayer:(nonnull DingiStyleLayer *)layer atIndex:(NSUInteger)index;

    Swift

    func insertLayer(_ layer: DingiStyleLayer, at index: UInt)

    Parameters

    layer

    The layer to insert.

    index

    The index at which to insert the layer. An index of 0 would send the layer to the back; an index equal to the number of objects in the layers property would bring the layer to the front.

  • Inserts a new layer below another layer.

    Note

    Layer identifiers are not guaranteed to exist across styles or different versions of the same style. Applications that use this API must first set the style URL to an explicitly versioned style using a convenience method like +[DingiStyle outdoorsStyleURLWithVersion:], DingiMapView’s “Style URL” inspectable in Interface Builder, or a manually constructed NSURL. This approach also avoids layer identifer name changes that will occur in the default style’s layers over time.

    Inserting the same layer instance more than once will result in a MGLRedundantLayerException. Reusing the same layer identifer, even with different layer instances, will also result in an exception.
