Layer Types

OCA is able to store different types of layers. For now, three types are supported : paintlayer, grouplayer, and vectorlayer. We hope to be able to support other types in the future like adjustment layers (at least with the most common effects) or masks.

OCA Identifier	Description
clonelayer	An instance of another layer
grouplayer	A layer without frames/images but continaing other layers
ocalayer	A reference to another OCA document, allows for nested documents
paintlayer	A bitmap containing an image
vectorlayer	Vectors forming an image, like an SVG file

Groups

These types may contain other layers:

• ocalayer
• grouplayer

With these types, the following attributes may be used. Read the Layer Object reference for more details.

• childLayers
• passThrough

Instances

These types are instances of other layers:

• ocalayer
• clonelayer

With these types, the source attribute must be set. Read the Source Object reference for more details.
