Class: DissolveBoundaries
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
require(["esri/dijit/analysis/DissolveBoundaries"], function(DissolveBoundaries) { /* code goes here */ });
Description
(Added at v3.7)
The DissolveBoundaries widget finds polygons that overlap or share a common boundary, and merges them together to form a single polygon.
You can control which boundaries are merged by specifying a field. For example, if you have a layer of counties, and each county has a
State_Name attribute, you can dissolve boundaries using the State_Name attribute. Adjacent counties will be merged together if they have the same value for State_Name. The end result is a layer of state boundaries.
View the ArcGIS REST API documentation for the Dissolve Boundaries task for more details.

< |
Optional | An array of field names based on which polygons are merged. When specified, only polygons that are adjacent or overlapped AND have the same value in those fields will be dissolved. When not specified, polygons that are adjacent or overlapped will be dissolved regardless of their attributes.

< |
Optional | The url to the ArcGIS.com site or in-house portal where the GP server is hosted. * Required when analysisGpServer is not specified. |

Optional | An array of field names and statistical summary types that you wish to calculate from the polygons that are dissolved together. The field names and statistic types your specify will be listed in the "2. Add statistic (optional)" menu in the UX.
