class Layer extends java.lang.Object implements Renderable
A Layer is a source of spatial data that contains a collection of Features. Most often Layers are accessed from a Workspace but you can create an in memory Layer by simply passing a name and a Schema:
If, all you want to store in a Layer is Geometry, you can just pass a layer name:Schema schema = new Schema("facilities", [new Field("geom","Point", "EPSG:2927"), new Field("name","string"), new Field("address","string")]) Layer layer = new Layer("facilities", schema)
Layer layer = new Layer("points") layer.add([new Point(0,0)]) layer.add([new Point(1,1)])
