Can you explain why it makes a difference to iterate in this way?
map.layers isn't an array - treat it more like a stack. When removeLaver
is used on the first layer, the stack collapses, what was layer[1] becomes
the new layer[0]
Could you kindly point me to the documentation that describes the above?
The reason I ask -- my understanding was not so. I always assumed that
since I add an array of layers to my map, it would be treated as an
array. In fact, for what its worth, my code is just like Tom's code in
that I do iterate over the array of layers to remove them, and then add
new ones, and it works fine for me. Am I just lucky?
var l = layers.length;
if (l > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < l; i++) {
/*
Since the layer being removed is not a baselayer,
the second argument to the following method is false
*/
map.removeLayer(layers[i], false);
}
/*
Now, reset the layers variable so we can add new layers
to it
*/
layers = [];
}
