```
public final void render(Rendering rendering,

    filter - An optional layer filter. May be null.
  - renderLayer
```

```
    Renders the child layers of this layer. Called by render(com.bc.ceres.grender.Rendering). The default implementation calls render(com.bc.ceres.grender.Rendering) on all child layers.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rendering - The rendering to which the layer will be rendered.
    
    filter - A layer filter. May be null.
  - dispose
```
public final void dispose()

```
    Disposes the layer. Called by dispose(). The default implementation does nothing.
  - disposeChildren
```
protected void disposeChildren()

```
  - fireLayersAdded
```
protected void fireLayersAdded(Layer[] layers)
```

```
protected void fireLayersRemoved(Layer[] layers)

```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
