Class: Collection

ol.Collection


An expanded version of standard JS Array, adding convenience methods for manipulation. Add and remove changes to the Collection trigger a Collection event. Note that this does not cover changes to the objects within the Collection; they trigger events on the appropriate object, not on the Collection as a whole.
