MQMapViewTrafficDelegate

@protocol MQMapViewTrafficDelegate <NSObject>

The MQMapViewTrafficDelegate protocol defines a set of optional methods that you can use to receive traffic-related update messages. Because many map operations require the MQMapView class to load data asynchronously, the map view calls these methods to notify your application when specific operations complete. The map view also uses these methods to request information about traffic annotations displayed on the map, such as the styles and interaction modes to apply to individual annotations.

  • Implement this method to mark a traffic annotation with a static image. If you want to mark a particular traffic annotation with an annotation view instead, omit this method or have it return nil for that annotation, then implement -mapView:viewForTrafficAnnotation:.

    Static annotation images use less memory and draw more quickly than annotation views. On the other hand, annotation views are compatible with UIKit, Core Animation, and other Cocoa Touch frameworks.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (id)mapView:(id)mapView imageForTrafficAnnotation:(nonnull id)annotation;

    Swift

    optional func mapView(_ mapView: Any!, imageForTrafficAnnotation annotation: Any) -> Any!

    Parameters

    mapView

    The map view that requested the annotation image.
    annotation

    The object representing the annotation that is about to be displayed.

    Return Value

    The annotation image object to display for the given annotation or nil if you want to display the default image or an annotation view.

  • Implement this method to mark a traffic annotation with a view object. If you want to mark a particular traffic annotation with a static image instead, omit this method or have it return nil for that annotation, then implement -mapView:imageForAnnotation: instead.

    Annotation views are compatible with UIKit, Core Animation, and other Cocoa Touch frameworks. On the other hand, static annotation images use less memory and draw more quickly than annotation views.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (id)mapView:(id)mapView viewForTrafficAnnotation:(nonnull id)annotation;

    Swift

    optional func mapView(_ mapView: Any!, viewForTrafficAnnotation annotation: Any) -> Any!

    Parameters

    mapView

    The map view that requested the annotation view.
    annotation

    The object representing the annotation that is about to be displayed.

    Return Value

    The view object to display for the given annotation or nil if you want to display an annotation image instead.

  • Returns the line width in points to use when rendering the outline of a traffic polyline annotation. By default, the polyline is outlined with a line 4.0 points wide.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (CGFloat)mapView:(id)mapView
    lineWidthForTrafficPolylineAnnotation:(id)annotation;

    Swift

    optional func mapView(_ mapView: Any!, lineWidthForTrafficPolylineAnnotation annotation: Any!) -> Any!

    Parameters

    mapView

    mapView descriptionThe map view rendering the traffic annotation.
    annotation

    The annotation being rendered.

    Return Value

    A line width for the traffic polyline, measured in points.

  • Returns the color to use when rendering the outline of a shape annotation.

    Opacity may be set by specifying an alpha component. The default alpha value is 1.0 and results in a completely opaque stroke.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nullable UIColor *)mapView:(id)mapView
    strokeColorForTrafficShapeAnnotation:(id)annotation;

    Swift

    optional func mapView(_ mapView: Any!, strokeColorForTrafficShapeAnnotation annotation: Any!) -> Any!

    Parameters

    mapView

    The map view rendering the traffic annotation.
    annotation

    The annotation being rendered.

    Return Value

    A color to use for the traffic annotation.
