Keep the view points of two views (e.g. MapView and SceneView) synchronized with each other.
Use case
You might need to synchronize GeoView viewpoints if you had two map views in one application - a main map and an inset. An inset map view could display all the layers at their full extent and contain a hollow rectangular graphic that represents the visible extent of the main map view. As you zoom or pan in the main map view, the extent graphic in the inset map would adjust accordingly.
How to use the sample
Interact with the map view or scene view by zooming or panning. The other geoview will automatically focus on the same viewpoint.
How it works
- Wire up the
ViewpointChanged
event handler for both geo views. - In each event handler, get the current viewpoint from the geo view that is being interacted with and then set the viewpoint of the other geo view to the same value.
Relevant API
- GeoView
- MapView
- SceneView
About the data
This application provides two different perspectives of the Imagery basemap. A 2D MapView
as well as a 3D SceneView
, displayed side by side.
