+    >>> lyr = Layer('My Layer','+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs')
+    >>> lyr.envelope()
+    box2d(-1.0,-1.0,0.0,0.0) # default until a datasource is loaded

+visible( (Layer)arg1, (float)arg2) -> bool :
+    Return True if this layer's data is active and visible at a given scale.
+    
+    Otherwise returns False.
+    Accepts a scale value as an integer or float input.
+    Will return False if:
+    	scale >= minzoom - 1e-6
+    	or:
+    	scale < maxzoom + 1e-6
+    
+Usage:
+
+    >>> from mapnik import Layer
+    >>> lyr = Layer('My Layer','+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs')
+    >>> lyr.visible(1.0/1000000)
+    True
+    >>> lyr.active = False
+    >>> lyr.visible(1.0/1000000)
+    False
+
