MGLAnnotationImage


@interface MGLAnnotationImage : NSObject <NSSecureCoding>

The MGLAnnotationImage class is responsible for presenting point-based annotations visually on a map view. Annotation image objects wrap UIImage objects and may be recycled later and put into a reuse queue that is maintained by the map view.

  • Initializes and returns a new annotation image object.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull instancetype)annotationImageWithImage:(nonnull UIImage *)image
                                     reuseIdentifier:
                                         (nonnull NSString *)reuseIdentifier;

    Parameters

    image

    The image to be displayed for the annotation.

    reuseIdentifier

    The string that identifies that this annotation image is reusable.

    Return Value

    The initialized annotation image object or nil if there was a problem initializing the object.

  • The image to be displayed for the annotation.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic, nullable) UIImage *image;
  • The string that identifies that this annotation image is reusable. (read-only)

    You specify the reuse identifier when you create the image object. You use this type later to retrieve an annotation image object that was created previously but which is currently unused because its annotation is not on screen.

    If you define distinctly different types of annotations (with distinctly different annotation images to go with them), you can differentiate between the annotation types by specifying different reuse identifiers for each one.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, nonatomic) NSString *_Nonnull reuseIdentifier;
  • A Boolean value indicating whether the annotation is enabled.

    The default value of this property is YES. If the value of this property is NO, the annotation image ignores touch events and cannot be selected.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (getter=isEnabled, assign, readwrite, nonatomic) BOOL enabled;
