esri/geometry/Polygon
A polygon contains an array of rings and a spatialReference. Each ring is represented as an array of points. The first and last points of a ring must be the same. A polygon also has boolean-valued hasM and hasZ fields.
Known Limitations
The polygon geometries must be simple when added to the following layers:
- View.graphics
- GraphicsLayer
- Feature collections added through FeatureLayer.source
Polygon geometries can be inspected and simplified before they are added to those layers. Use the geometryEngine's simplify() method to make sure that polygons display correctly on the client-side.

Property Details
-
centroid
centroid Point
-
The centroid of the polygon. For a polygon with multiple rings, it represents the centroid of the largest ring.
-
hasZ
InheritedPropertyhasZ Boolean
Inherited from Geometry -
Indicates if the geometry has z-values (elevation).
Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.
-
isSelfIntersecting
isSelfIntersecting Boolean
-
Checks to see if polygon rings cross each other and indicates if the polygon is self-intersecting, which means the ring of the polygon crosses itself.
-
An array of rings. Each ring is a two-dimensional array of numbers representing the coordinates of each vertex in the ring in the spatial reference of the view. The first vertex of each ring should always be the same as the last vertex. Each vertex is an array of two, three, or four numbers. The table below shows the various structures of a vertex array.
Example//3D polygon rings with m-values (note that the second ring does not have m-values defined for it) const rings = [ [ // first ring [-97.06138,32.837,35.1,4.8], [-97.06133,32.836,35.2,4.1], [-97.06124,32.834,35.3,4.2], [-97.06138,32.837,35.1,4.8] // same as first vertex ], [ // second ring [-97.06326,32.759,35.4], [-97.06298,32.755,35.5], [-97.06153,32.749,35.6], [-97.06326,32.759,35.4] // same as first vertex ] ]; const polygon = new Polygon({ hasZ: true, hasM: true, rings: rings, spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 } });

spatialReference

Method Details
-
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor 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();
ParametershandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *optionalKey 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.
-
contains
contains(point){Boolean}
-
Checks on the client if the input point is inside the polygon. A point on the polygon line is considered inside.
Parameterpoint PointThe point to test whether it is contained within the testing polygon.
ReturnsType Description Boolean Returns true
if the point is located inside the polygon.
-
fromExtent
fromExtent(extent){Polygon}static
-
Converts the given Extent to a Polygon instance. This is useful for scenarios in which you would like to display an area of interest, which is typically defined by an Extent or bounding box, as a polygon with a fill symbol in the view. Some geoprocessing tools require input geometries to be of a Polygon type and not an Extent.
Parameterextent ExtentAn extent object to convert to a polygon.
ReturnsType Description Polygon A polygon instance representing the given extent. Exampleview.on("click", function(evt) { const area = Polygon.fromExtent(view.extent); const graphic = new Graphic({ geometry: area, symbol: { type: "simple-fill" } }); view.graphics.add(graphic); });
-
Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input
json
parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.Parameterjson ObjectA JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.
ReturnsType Description * Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles
InheritedMethodhasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from AccessorSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25. -
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key.
ReturnsType 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"); }
-
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25. -
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

pointIndex
within the ring identified byringIndex

Returns
-
toJSON
InheritedMethodtoJSON(){Object}
