     NameDescription
    Public PropertyBaseLayerGets the owner Layer if this is a nested Layer.  
    Public PropertyBottomNestedLayerGets the nested Layer that appears below all other nested Layers on this Layer.  
    Public PropertyBottomVisualGets the Visual that appears below all other Visuals on this Layer.  
    Public PropertyClipRectGets or sets a GrapeCity.Documents.Layout.LayoutRect that affects the transformation matrix when clipping this Layer.

    If the CreateClipRegion delegate is not assigned, the ClipRect rectangle is also used as a clipping region.

     
    Public PropertyCreateClipRegionGets or sets a delegate that creates a clipping region (GrapeCity.Documents.Drawing.IClipRegion) taking GrapeCity.Documents.Drawing.GcGraphics and Layer as parameters.

    The transformation matrix of the clipping region is defined by the ClipRect.Transform property. If the ClipRect property is not assigned, the transformation matrix of the owner View is used.

     
    Public PropertyDrawGets or sets a delegate that accepts a GrapeCity.Documents.Drawing.GcGraphics object and a Layer and draws the layer on the graphics.  
    Public PropertyIsDetachedGets true if this Layer is not associated with any Surface, false otherwise.  
    Public PropertyLayerAboveGets the sibling Layer that appears on top of the current Layer.  
    Public PropertyLayerBelowGets the sibling Layer that appears below the current Layer.  
    Public PropertyNameGets or sets the name of this Layer.  
    Public PropertySurfaceGets the owner Surface object.  
    Public PropertyTagGets or sets an object that contains arbitrary data associated with this layer.  
    Public PropertyTopNestedLayerGets the nested Layer that appears on top of all other nested Layers on this Layer.  
    Public PropertyTopVisualGets the Visual that appears on top of all other Visuals on this Layer.

    Public MethodCreateVisualOverloaded. Creates a Visual object that represents a drawing element.  
    Public MethodDetachDetaches this Layer from the owner Surface.  
    Public MethodGetNestedLayersReturns the array of nested layers and views on this Layer.  
    Public MethodGetVisualsReturns the array of Visual objects.  
    Public MethodMoveAboveMoves the current Layer to the position on top of the specified layer.  
    Public MethodMoveBelowMoves the current Layer to the position below the specified layer.
