Layer Visibility

Whether a layer is visible in a given map depends on three criteria:

- The visibility setting for the layer
- The visibility settings for any groups that contain the layer
- The map view scale and the layer definition for that view scale

In order for a layer to be visible, its layer visibility must be on, the visibility for any group containing the layer must be on, and the layer must have a style setting defined for the current map view scale.
