IsBackground

The background layer is generally opaque although it doesn't have to be. For example, the Canvas Size action distinguishes between background and non-background layers such that it fills the background layer with opaque and the non-background layers with transparency. The value of this property should not be used to disallow the user from performing an action.

IsDisposed

Metadata

Name

A user-definable name.

Opacity

Size

Visible

Determines whether the layer is part of a document's composition. If this property is false, the composition engine will ignore this layer.

PerformPropertyChanged()

You can call this to raise the PropertyChanged event. Note that is will raise the event with an empty string for the property name description. Thus it is useful only for syncing up UI elements that require notification of events but that otherwise don't really track it.

PopSuppressPropertyChanged()

PushSuppressPropertyChanged()

SaveProperties()

Allows you to save the mutable properties of the layer so you can restore them later (esp. important for undo!). Mutable properties include the layer's name, whether it's visible, and the metadata. This list might expand later.
