TopographyLayer
A metatype for describing a layer of an Earth geometry.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| medium | Medium | Filling medium of the layer. |
| data | TopographyDataset | Top boundary of the layer. |
Note
The layer structure can not be modified after creation. Its properties can be modified however, e.g. the medium density of a layer or its topography offset.
Constructor
The TopographyLayer constructor takes two arguments, a constituting medium and a topography data as illustrated in the synopsis below. The topography data can be specified by a TopographyData(set) or by one of its argument.

Arguments
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| medium | Medium or string |
Filling medium of the layer. If a string is provided it must reference a TabulatedMaterial. Then a UniformMedium is implicitly created and filled with the corresponding material. |
| data | number, string, table, TopographyData or TopographyDataset |
Topography data describing the top boundary of the layer. |
