Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

effectiveUnits Property effectiveUnits EffectiveUnitsreadonly

Units which have been selected according to the magnitude of the elevations and distances that are to be displayed in the widget, according to the selected unit or unit system.

geodesicDistanceThreshold Property geodesicDistanceThreshold Number Deprecated since version 4.29.

Threshold (in meters) which determines the method for computing and displaying distances in non-Web Mercator projected coordinate systems (PCS).

Below this threshold, distances are computed in a Euclidean manner (in their respective PCS).
Above this threshold, distances are computed geodetically.

If the threshold is omitted (default), distances are always computed in a Euclidean manner.

This property is ignored if the map’s spatial reference is a geographic coordinate system (GCS) or Web Mercator. Meaning that distances are always computed geodetically.

Default Value:null

highlightEnabled Property highlightEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20 ElevationProfileViewModel since 4.18, highlightEnabled added at 4.20.

Whether the graphic used as input is highlighted. The highlight color and opacity can be changed in highlightOptions.

Default Value:true

hoveredChartPosition Property hoveredChartPosition Number

The position, in the range [0, 1], being hovered in the graph. We'll use this to determine which samples are being hovered and mark their position in the view.

input Property input Graphicautocast

The input path along which elevation will be queried in order to generate an elevation profile.

Typically not set when creating the widget. In this case the widget starts empty, and waits for the user to either draw a new profile or generate a profile from selecting a line feature. The result of this action populates input. input can be set when constructing the widget, or set or changed at runtime. The input graphic must contain a geometry of type Polyline. Symbol and attributes of the input graphic are ignored.

profiles Property profiles Collection<(ElevationProfileLineGround|ElevationProfileLineInput|ElevationProfileLineQuery|ElevationProfileLineView)>autocast

Collection of elevation profile lines which are to be generated and displayed in the widget's chart. See the different profile line types for details on usage and behavior.

Once an elevation profile is generated, each line will contain the raw data used to generate the chart and statistics. The order of the profiles within the collection determines the drawing order on the chart.

In a MapView ElevationProfileLineView is not supported.

progress Property progress Numberreadonly

The progress, between 0 and 1 of generating all the configured elevation profiles.

state Property state Stringreadonly

The current state of the view model that can be used for rendering the UI of the widget.

Value	Description
disabled	widget is being created
ready	widget is ready. No path configured and no interactive operation ongoing.
creating	user is creating a new input path.
created	input path is configured but no interactive operation is ongoing.
selecting	user is selecting an existing input path.
selected	user selected an existing input path.

Default Value:disabled

uniformChartScaling Property uniformChartScaling Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20 ElevationProfileViewModel since 4.18, uniformChartScaling added at 4.20.

Whether the chart should use a uniform scale for the X and Y axes. When a uniform scale is applied, the X axis will display the same distance units per pixel as the elevation units per pixel displayed in the Y axis.

unit Property unit SystemOrLengthUnit

Unit system (imperial, metric) or specific unit used for displaying the elevation and distance values.

unitOptions Property unitOptions SystemOrLengthUnit[]

List of available units and unit systems (imperial, metric) for displaying the elevation and distance values.

view Property view SceneView |MapView

A reference to the View.

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.

cancel Method cancel()

Stops a creation/selection operation and restores the previously configured input path.

clear Method clear()

Clears the existing profile and stops any interaction.

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");

start Method start(options)

If mode is "sketch" (the default), switches to the "creating" state in which the user can draw a new line. If the mode is "select", switches to the "selecting" state and lets the user click on the view to select an existing line.

If any line is present, when the first point is drawn or an existing line is selected, the previous input is discarded.

Parameters

options Object

optional

Start options.

Specification

mode String

optional

Default Value: "sketch"

The mode that the widget will start with. In "sketch" mode the user can draw a new line and in "select" mode the user can click on the view to select an existing line.

Possible Values:"sketch"|"select"

stop Method stop()

Stops a creation/selection operation. If the current operation is a "sketch" and the input has at least two committed points (not being dragged), the input is kept. Otherwise the input is set to null.
