Move and edit vertices

Description

This sample shows how to use the edit toolbar to move and edit vertices. The edit toolbar is a non-ui component that provides events that simplify the process of moving and editing vertices. To activate the toolbar, pass in a graphic and a constant defining the type of editing you want to perform.

The map displays polygons representing fire perimeter boundaries. To edit a boundary, zoom-in and double-click to activate the edit toolbar.

Note that once you double-click the feature both vertices and ghost vertices (white) appear. Once the vertices are active you do the following:

  • Drag a vertex to move it to a new location.
  • Right-click to delete a vertex.
  • Drag a ghost vertices to add a new point.

Double-click the feature to exit editing and have changes pushed back to the service.
