Stretch renderer

Use a stretch renderer to enhance the visual contrast of raster data for analysis.

Use case

An appropriate stretch renderer can enhance the contrast of raster imagery, allowing the user to control how their data is displayed for efficient imagery analysis.

How to use the sample

Tap the toolbar button to change any of the following properties:

• Stretch type - a histogram stretch that will be applied to the raster to enhance its appearance.
• Min value - the minimum value on the histogram.
• Max value - the maximum value on the histogram.

How it works

1. Create an AGSRaster from a raster file.
2. Create an AGSRasterLayer from the AGSRaster.
3. Add the layer to the map.
4. Create an AGSStretchRenderer, specifying the AGSStretchParameters and other properties.
5. Apply the AGSStretchRenderer to the raster layer.
