Example

This example shows how to reorder layers in worksheet page. Copy the following functions and compile. Run wks_reorder_ex in Command Window.

void wks_reorder_ex()
{
        WorksheetPage wksPage;          
        wksPage.Create("Origin");

        wksPage.AddLayer("Sheet 2");
        wksPage.AddLayer("Sheet 4");
        wksPage.AddLayer("Sheet 6");
        printf("Before reorder...\n");
        print_out_layer_names(wksPage);
        
        // current the index in sheet name is 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6, after the following loop to reorder, the index in name should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
