public class BufferedLinkLayer
extends LinkLayer

The BufferedLinkLayer is a Swing component, and an OpenMap layer, that communicates with a server via the Link protocol. It transmits graphics requests and gesture information, and handles the responses to those queries. The entry in the openmap.properties file looks like this:

`# port number of server link.port=3031 # host name of server link.host=host.com # URL of proerties file for server attributes link.propertiesURL=http://location.of.properties.file.com`

Constructor Detail

### BufferedLinkLayer

    public BufferedLinkLayer()

  The default constructor for the Layer. All of the attributes are set to their default values.

### BufferedLinkLayer

    public BufferedLinkLayer(java.lang.String host,
                             int port,
                             java.lang.String propertiesURL)

  Constructor to use when LinkLayer is not being used with OpenMap application.

Parameters:
  `host` - the hostname of the server's computer.
  `port` - the port number of the server.
  `propertiesURL` - the URL of a properties file that contains parameters for the server.

Method Detail

### prepare

    public OMGraphicList prepare()

  Prepares the graphics for the layer. This is where the getRectangle() method call is made on the link.

  Occasionally it is necessary to abort a prepare call. When this happens, the map will set the cancel bit in the LayerThread, (the thread that is running the prepare). If this Layer needs to do any cleanups during the abort, it should do so, but return out of the prepare asap.

  Overrides:
    `prepare` in class `LinkLayer`
  Returns:
    a list of graphics.

### getAllGraphics

    protected LinkOMGraphicList getAllGraphics(ClientLink link,
                                               Projection proj)
                                        throws java.io.IOException

  Creates the LinkMapRequest, and gets the results.

  Parameters:
    `link` - the link to communicate over.
    `proj` - the projection to give to the graphics.
  Returns:
    LinkOMGraphicList containing graphics from the server.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
