The next step is to add our custom GIS data on top of our base layers. We will use a WFS as our overlay. Add the following code to your init() function before adding the layers to the map.
Overlay Overlay is a GIS operation in which layers with a common, registered map base are joined on the basis of their occupation of space (Clarke, 1997).
Overlay
Overlay is the core part of GIS analysis operation. It combines several spatial features to generate new spatial elements.
Overlay Results Reporting Buffer
Results from overlays and buffers are now saved as permanent features and can be viewed in the Data Browser.
Overlay: A formal geometric intersection between two or more layers of spatially referenced data. A layer produced by an overlay will contain both the spatial data and the attribute data from the input layers.
Overlay Analysis:
The integration of different data layers involves a process called overlay. At its simplest, this could be a visual operation, but analytical operations require one or more data layers to be joined physically.
Overlay: The ability to superimpose graphically one map on another and display the result on a computer screen or on a plot.
Overlay
Using maps of wetlands, slopes, streams, land use, and soils, the GIS might produce a new map layer (or overlay) that ranks the wetlands according to their relative sensitivity to damage from nearby factories or homes.

Map overlay
The combination of two separate spatial data sets (points, lines or polygons) to create a new output vector data set. These overlays are similar to mathematical Venn diagram overlays.
[edit] Overlay Analysis
Overlay analysis is a common, widely used method of analyzing and evaluating geospatial data. Overlay analysis utilizes map layers in a GIS to discover relationships across the layers.

Overlaying Imagery
Another interesting extension of this method is to overlay satellite imagery over 3D DEM renderings. This powerful technique can yield impressive images and useful results.
Overlay operators are some of the most fundamental and most frequently used processes in GIS applications. Aronoff (1989) described two types of overlay operators-arithmetic and logical.

Overlay Analysis
At its simplest, overlay is a visual operation, but many analytical operations require one or more data layers to be joined physically to show all distinct combinations of attributes.

Metallized boPET is used as a mirror-like decorative surface on some book covers, T-shirts, and other flexible cloths.
Use View/Overlay/Image ROI to toggle the display on and off. Once the region of interest is used by the vectorization process, it is removed. You can set a new region of interest by repeating the above steps.
Topological Overlay
The capability to overlay multiple data layers in a vertical fashion is the most required and common technique in geographic data processing.

Layers, tables, overlays, and coverages represent ensembles of information related by common attribute types. Layers are often thought of as similar to individual overhead transparencies that can be stacked to show spatial relationships between them.

As mentioned above, the overlay function of the traditional vector GIS condenses the information linked to a particular piece of the Earth surface (joins the attributes of the overlaid objects).
The analytical power of GIS comes from its ability to overlay and match different shapefiles for the same geographic area, which enables you to visualize the interactions among the different data.
Geoprocessing - Geoprocessing embodies GIS operations, which include data conversion, geographic feature overlays, topology processing, coverage selection and analysis.
Students learn to add and overlay GIS data layers, select spatial features, and make basic map layouts. They also learn the basics of Microsoft Excel, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe PhotoShop.
Raster Data - raster (or grid cell type) data can be used for analyzing, overlaying, and modelling area features such as soil types or forested areas. Raster data are generally typically scanned in from maps.
Grids are a regular shaped overlay to a map. These usually form a square, but they may form a rectangle - they are never another shape. They usually have a number and a letter to identify zones across a map.

This could cause some problems in map overlay. The Transform tool in Arc/Info converts coverage coordinates from one coordinate system to another through translation (shift), rotation, and scaling. Transformation is not a projection.
The map compilation procedure consists of the accurate transfer of map unit boundaries, symbols, drainage, and cultural features from the field sheets to orthophoto base map overlays.

INTERSECTION
The point at which one line crosses another. In GIS there are a number of contexts in which this is used, for example, in polygon overlay analysis to create the intersection of two area features. Intersection of two lines.
