Name Type Description

options

Layer options.

Name	Type	Default	Description
`opacity`	number	1	Opacity (0, 1).
`visible`	boolean	true	Visibility.
`extent`	module:ol/extent~Extent		The bounding extent for layer rendering. The layer will not be rendered outside of this extent.
`zIndex`	number		The z-index for layer rendering. At rendering time, the layers will be ordered, first by Z-index and then by position. When `undefined`, a `zIndex` of 0 is assumed for layers that are added to the map's `layers` collection, or `Infinity` when the layer's `setMap()` method was used.
`minResolution`	number		The minimum resolution (inclusive) at which this layer will be visible.
`maxResolution`	number		The maximum resolution (exclusive) below which this layer will be visible.
`layers`	Array.<module:ol/layer/Base~BaseLayer> \| module:ol/Collection~Collection.<module:ol/layer/Base~BaseLayer>		Child layers.

Fires:

change (module:ol/events/Event~Event) - Generic change event. Triggered when the revision counter is increased.
change:extent (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:layers (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:maxResolution (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:minResolution (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:opacity (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:visible (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
change:zIndex (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent)
propertychange (module:ol/Object.ObjectEvent) - Triggered when a property is changed.
