Introduction to Annotation
: Layers Elements
Layers Elements
LAYE elements are owned by VIEW elements s and are administrative elements used to group together annotation elements. LAYE elements can own Dimension elements, Label elements and View Note elements.
LAYE elements should not be concerned with Visual Layers, which along with Visual Styles are the primary mechanism for controlling the representation of annotations in DRAW. LAYE control of annotation representation is present largely for backwards compatibility.
Sometimes different LAYE elements are used for different functions, and the function of a LAYE is defined by the PURPose attribute.
The LVIS attribute controls the visibility of a LAYE element. The LVIS attribute can be set to TRUE or FALSE and affects all annotations under the LAYE element.
Note:
Where LAYE elements and LAYE members have common attributes, the values of those attributes are cascaded down from the LAYE when creating annotations from the command line.
