esri/widgets/ElevationProfile
The ElevationProfile widget is used to generate and display an elevation profile from an input line graphic. The input graphic can be set interactively by drawing a single or multi-segment line, or by selecting a line feature in the view. Alternatively the widget allows to set an input graphic programmatically on creation, or at runtime, by setting the input property.
ElevationProfile widget used in a city scene, displaying ground and building profiles. See Sample - ElevationProfile widget
The widget can visualize multiple profile lines, depending on the environment (2D versus 3D) and elevation source data:
-
ElevationProfileLineGround can be used in both MapView and SceneView. In this case, the elevation is sampled directly from Map.ground. Whether your map is displayed in 2D or 3D, the ground property needs to be set on the map.
-
ElevationProfileLineInput samples elevation data from the geometry of the input graphic. It is typically used with input line data with z values. If the input line data doesn't have z values, a profile line is also computed if the line is displayed with a non-draped elevation mode. An elevation offset can also be applied. Currently in 2D z values are not fetched from feature based layers, so in a MapView this profile line can only be used with client-side graphics with z values.
-
ElevationProfileLineQuery samples elevation data from the elevation source set in the source property. The elevation source can be an ElevationLayer or any object with a method called
queryElevation
, with the same signature as queryElevation. -
ElevationProfileLineView is available only in a SceneView and it displays the elevation sampled directly from the view along the input graphic. All volumetric objects in a SceneView contribute to the resulting profile.
You can choose to display one or several profile lines in the chart, by setting them in the profiles property.
Once all profiles are refined to their maximum resolution, the corresponding 3D profile lines appear in the SceneView (currently no lines are displayed in a MapView), and profile statistics display in the legend for each profile line. Hovering on the chart shows an overlayed tooltip with elevation values of all profiles, and displays colored dot markers in the 3D view on the matching positions.
Checkboxes in the legend allow to hide individual profiles. Chart units can be set via the settings menu to metric, imperial or a specific unit. Click-and-drag on the chart zooms in to a specific part of the profile chart. When zoomed in, click on the minus button to reset zoom.
Drawing a path to get a ground profile.
Profile generated from a line feature with z-values shows a paraglide track above ground.
Known Limitations
- In 3D ElevationProfileLineInput is not taking into consideration
the
featureExpression
set on the elevation mode of the layer. - In 2D z values are not fetched from feature based layers. Therefore, ElevationProfileLineInput can only be used with client-side graphics with z values in a MapView.

-
geodesicDistanceThreshold
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
-
icon
icon String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27ElevationProfile since 4.18, icon added at 4.27. -
Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).
- Default Value:"altitude"

-
The input line graphic 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.- Default Value:null
-
label

profiles
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 profile statistics. The order of the profiles within the collection determines the drawing order on the chart.
In a MapView ElevationProfileLineView is not supported.
Exampleconst elevationProfile = new ElevationProfile({ view: view, profiles: [{ // displays elevation values from Map.ground type: "ground", //autocasts as new ElevationProfileLineGround() }, { // displays elevation values from the input line graphic type: "input", //autocasts as new ElevationProfileLineInput() }, { // displays elevation values from an elevation source type: "query", //autocasts as new ElevationProfileLineQuery() source: elevationLayer }, { // displays elevation values from a SceneView type: "view" //autocasts as new ElevationProfileLineView() }] });
