Class: esri/geometry/Extent
Inheritance: Extent Geometry Accessor

Method Details

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.

centerAt

Method
centerAt(point){Extent}

Centers the extent to the specified Point. This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Parameter
point Point

The point to center the extent.

Returns
Type Description
Extent The new extent with point as the center.

clone

Method
clone(){Extent}

Creates a deep clone of Extent object.

Returns
Type Description
Extent A new instance of a Extent object equal to the object used to call .clone().

contains

Method
contains(geometry){Boolean}

Checks if the input geometry is contained within the extent.

Parameter
geometry Point|Extent

Input geometry to test if it is contained within the extent.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if the input geometry is contained within the extent.

equals

Method
equals(extent){Boolean}

Indicates if the input extent is equal to the testing extent.

Parameter
extent Extent

Input extent.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if the input extent is equal to the extent that calls equals().

expand

Method
expand(factor){Extent}

Expands the extent by the given factor. For example, a value of 1.5 will expand the extent to be 50 percent larger than the original extent. This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.
