- # Map Build Process
- The parts to build a map - layers, behaviors, maps, and styles - are loaded
- with menu loaders, like `openlayers_layer_export_load`. They should not be
- loaded manually because menu loaders do the necessary instantiation and
- cache-clearing.
- In 2.x, layers, behaviors, and styles contain more logic for 'rendering
- themselves' than before, but cannot completely exist on their own. The functions
- that iterate over included layers, behaviors, and styles are in
- `openlayers.render.inc`.
- `openlayers_build_map` and `openlayers_render_map` are the two essential parts
- of the actual map building and rendering, and are included in
- `openlayers.module`.
- The map building process does not directly deal with map data: in the case that
- Drupal is rendering data (as in openlayers_views), this functionality is
- encapsulated in the `render()` method of the layer type. See
- `modules/openlayers_views` for an example of how this works.
