<refsect1>
<title>Overview</title>
<para>
Vector layers, implementing means how user can draw on data views, are
provided by <link linkend="libgwymodule-gwymodule-layer">layer modules</link>, so that third party tools (implemented by
<link linkend="libgwymodule-gwymodule-tool">tool modules</link>)
can define their own means of user interaction.
</para>
<para>
There are several standard layers distributed with <application>Gwyddion</application>,
and their features and interface is the subject of this section.
All layers are subclasses of <link linkend="GwyVectorLayer">GwyVectorLayer</link>
sharing its basic interface.
Each layer lets the user draw or select different shapes, therefore each module also
defines its own selection object type determining the format of selection data.
All selections are subclasses of <link linkend="GwySelection">GwySelection</link>.
By convention, layer type Foo is called GwyLayerFoo and the corresponding selection
type GwySelectionFoo.
</para>
<para>
Layers and selections sometimes have additional object properties not present in the
base classes, these are described here too.

<para>
The layer allows selecting one or more horizontal or vertical (full-width
or full-height) lines, called axes. It can be also viewes as a way to
select separate x or y coordinates.
</para>
<para>
Selection data consists of single coordinates.
More precisely, of y-coordinates for horizontal axes and x-coordinates for vertical
axes. Each coordinate represents a selected axis.

The result of programatically setting a non-convex selection when convex is TRUE is undefined.
The default is to only allow convex tetragons.

<para>
The layer allows selecting a long spline curve passing through given
points.
</para>
<para>
Selection data consists of coordinate pairs (x, y) representing the
points defining the curve. The curve is implicitly oriented from the
first pair to the last one.

<para>
How much the curve is slack/taut, from the interval [0, sqrt(2)].
Value of 0 corresponds to completely taut curve, i.e. straight
lines connecting the points.
Value of 1 corresponds to free curve.
The default value is 1/sqrt(2).

<para>
Whether the curve is closed, i.e. continues smoothly from the
last point back to the first point.
The default is open-ended (not closed) curve.
