Change map config with no query

ChartFactor Toolkit
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working with a Geo Map GL visualization that includes a shape layer. What I’d like to do is adjust the opacity of that layer purely as a visual change. However, I want to avoid re-rendering the chart or triggering a new query, since this is only an aesthetic adjustment.

Is there a way to update the layer’s opacity directly, without forcing a full re-render?

Got it, well you can use the updateLayer function, that function will update layer properties and options without having to re-query data, let me show you an example:

const mapViz = cf.getVisualization('visualization-id');

// Tile
const shapeLayer = mapViz.get('getDefinedLayer')('your_shape_layer_name');

shapeLayer.properties.options.shapeOpacity = 0.15; // the opacity you want

map.get('updateLayer')(shapeLayer);

It works! The layer opacity has been updated and i didn’t have to re-execute the visualization.

Thanks for the help!
