l_layer_groupVisibility: Queries visibility status of decendants

Description

Query whether all, part or none of the group layers descendants are visible.

Usage

l_layer_groupVisibility(widget, layer)

Value

'all', 'part' or 'none' depending on the visibility status of the descendants.

Arguments

widget

widget path or layer object of class 'l_layer'

layer

layer id. If the widget argument is of class 'l_layer' then the layer argument is not used

Details

Visibile layers are rendered, invisible ones are not. If any ancestor of a layer is set to be invisible then the layer is not rendered either. The layer visibility flag can be checked with l_layer_isVisible and the actual visibility (i.e. are all the ancesters visibile too) can be checked with l_layer_layerVisibility.

Note that layer visibility is not a state of the layer itself, instead is information that is part of the layer collection (i.e. its parent widget).
