Other Protocols

The AWFAmpTileSourceProviderDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that can be used to receive messages from the provider when tile sources should be added and/or removed from the weather map.

The AWFAnimatableOverlay protocol defines an overlay object that can be animated and provides a required animation property to store the animation object.

The AWFAnimationDataSource protocol is adopted by an object that provides basic information that is needed for an animation object.

The AWFAnimationDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that can be used to receive animation-related update messages. These methods notify your application of changes to the state of the animation, such as when playback starts or stops.

The AWFAnnotation protocol represents an annotation object on a weather map and provides the common set of properties and methods for annotation items across different mapping libraries.

The AWFOverlayStylable protocol is adopted by an object that provides the style specifications for a map overlay.

The AWFAnnotationView protocol represents an annotation renderer, typically an instance of UIView or MKAnnotationView, that manages animating the annotation while displayed on a map.

The AWFDataAnimationDataSource is adopted by an object that provides the necessary data for an point-based overlay to complete its animation.

The AWFDataAnimationDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that can be used to be notified when the point data animation data changes.

The AWFDataLoading protocol defines the required properties and methods for an object that performs the necessary data loading required for map elements.

The AWFDataRepresentableStyleProvider protocol is adopted by an object that provides the style specifications for multiple map representable types.

The AWFImageAnimationDataSource is adopted by an object that provides the necessary data for an image-based overlay to complete its animation.

The AWFImageAnimationDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that can be used to be notified when the image animation data changes.

The AWFLegendRenderer protocol defines the required properties and methods for an object that renders a legend.

The AWFLegendViewDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages related to changes to the legend view.

The AWFMKTileProvider protocol defines the properties required by overlay sources rendered on an MKMapView instance.

The AWFMapArrow protocol defines the required properties and methods for an object that defines a directional arrow element on a map.

The AWFMapCalloutDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages related to changes to or interactions with a map callout and it’s assocated callout view.

The AWFMapContentDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that can be used to receive messages related to data changes for a particular map content source. The delegate should handle any data cleanup on the map that is required in response to these messages.

The AWFMapOverlayFactory protocol is adopted by an object that provides the necessary overlay and annotation objects required for rendering elements using a specific mapping strategy.

An AWFMapStrategy object provides a common interface between a specific map SDK and the application. This object is responsible for determining how to add and remove overlay and annotation objects on the map, as well as providing other basic information about the state of its internal map view, such as bounding coordinates, zoom level, etc.

The base implementation of this class doesn’t do anything and should be subclassed for each supported map SDK. Subclasses should override the methods to manage adding and removing overlays and annotations from the map.

This object must remain the primary delegate of its internal map view regardless of map SDK since it manages all overlays. However, the same map delegates for the specific map SDK are also proxied to other map view delegates as necessary.

The AWFMapStrategyDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages related to the internal map view being managed by a map strategy.

The AWFMultiShapeOverlay protocol defines the properties and methods required by an overlay instance that renders multiple types of elements into a single overlay renderer, such as both polygon and polylines.

The AWFOverlayProvider protocol defines the required properties and methods for an object that provides a map overlay object.

The AWFPolygon protocol defines the required properties and methods for polygon overlay objects for a specific mapping SDK.

The AWFPolyline protocol defines the required properties and methods for polyline overlay objects for a specific mapping SDK.

The AWFStylable protocol defines the properties and methods that represents a stylable object, typically one that is rendered on the map.

The AWFStyledMapItem protocol defines the required and optional methods for a map overlay item that can be styled. This is typically used for map overlays like annotation, polygons and polylines.

The AWFTileDataSource protocol is adopted by an object that provides information a tile overlay needs to request and load tiles.

The AWFTimeDependent protocol defines the properties and methods used by objects whose data is specific to a particular time and/or date.

The AWFTimelineViewDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages related to updates or changes to a timeline.

The AWFWeatherMapContainerViewDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages about the completion of gesture recognizers within the view.

The AWFWeatherMapDataSource protocol is adopted by an object that provides a weather map with the information it needs for representing data on the map.

The AWFWeatherMapDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive messages related to updates or changes to the weather map.

This protocol does not receive the standard map view delegate messages that are provided with the specific mapping SDK the associated weather map uses (e.g., MKMapViewDelegate for Apple’s MapKit).
