Syntax
public System.Boolean IsView { get; }Property Value
True if the metadata refers to a catalog view; False if the metadata refers to a regular map.
Remarks
The term catalog view was used in Carmenta Engine version 5.4 and earlier, and represented a composite catalog map made up of one or several CatalogMap instances. These catalog views were typically intended as complete background maps, whereas the other maps were only building blocks for the catalog views, or overlays to be added on top of the catalog view.
Even though the special treatment of these catalog views were removed in version 5.5, the distinction between maps and catalog views can still be made, by specifying the user property "CatalogMapType" on the View instance in the configuration file defining the service, to either "Map" or "View".
