Exercise outline

We want to show the FM model together with the stations that we created.

Create a view for a FM model and stations


And add this code to the end of the script :

#region Create a view for a FM model and stations

# Create a view for the fmModel
Gui.DocumentViewsResolver.OpenViewForData(fmModel)
view = Gui.DocumentViews[Gui.DocumentViews.Count-1]

# Create layers for stations and Satellite images
stationLayer = CreateMapLayerForStations(stationList, fmModel.CoordinateSystem)

bingLayer = BingLayer()
bingLayer.Name = "Satellite Hybrid (Bing Maps)"

# Set map coordinate system to webmercator (used by Bing Maps)
map = view.MapView.Map
map.CoordinateSystem = Map.CoordinateSystemFactory.CreateFromEPSG(3857) # webmercator

# Add the layers to the map
map.Layers.Add(stationLayer)
map.Layers.Add(bingLayer)

map.ZoomToExtents()

#endregion


The following statements will ask DeltaShell (DocumentViewsResolver - object containing the logic to create (resolve) document views) to create a view for our FM model. Then we find the view (the last added view) by looking in the "Gui.DocumentViews" and assign it to the view variable.

# Create a view for the fmModel
Gui.DocumentViewsResolver.OpenViewForData(fmModel)
view = Gui.DocumentViews[Gui.DocumentViews.Count-1]


Now we create a layer for our stations and a layer for the satellite images (as background):

# Create layers for stations and Satellite images
stationLayer = CreateMapLayerForStations(stationList, fmModel.CoordinateSystem)

bingLayer = BingLayer()
bingLayer.Name = "Satellite Hybrid (Bing Maps)"


Finally we set the coordinate system of the map to webmercator (used by Bing Maps), and add our layers

# Set map coordinate system to webmercator (used by Bing Maps)
map = view.MapView.Map
map.CoordinateSystem = Map.CoordinateSystemFactory.CreateFromEPSG(3857) # webmercator

# Add the layers to the map
map.Layers.Add(stationLayer)
map.Layers.Add(bingLayer)

map.ZoomToExtents()
