DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis

AMD: require(["esri/analysis/DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis"], (DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis from "@arcgis/core/analysis/DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis.js";
Class: esri/analysis/DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis
Inheritance: DirectLineMeasurementAnalysisAccessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis computes the distance between two points and displays the measurement in a 3D SceneView.

To display a distance measurement between two points, create a new instance of DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis, add it to SceneView.analyses and set the startPoint and endPoint properties.

Use the DirectLineMeasurementAnalysisView3D to retrieve analysis results.

// create analysis
const directLineMeasurement = new DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis({
  startPoint: pointA,
  endPoint: pointB,
  unit: "imperial"
});

// add to the scene view
sceneView.analyses.add(directLineMeasurement);

// retrieve measured results from analysis view once available
const analysisView = await sceneView.whenAnalysisView(directLineMeasurement);
await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => analysisView.result);

const result = analysisView.result;

StartPoint and endPoint on the DirectLineMeasurementAnalysis can only be set programmatically. However, combined with SceneView.hitTest or the SketchViewModel, this analysis can be used to create interactive experiences for end users.

Use the DirectLineMeasurement3D widget in order to add interactivity and allow users to change the geometry of the analysis.

Known Limitation

This analysis is only supported in a 3D SceneView.

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone

Method
clone(){this}

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns
Type Description
this A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

hasHandles

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

Inherited
Method
removeHandles(groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
