esri/widgets/Print
The Print widget connects your application with a printing service to allow the map to be printed. It takes advantage of server-side, high-quality, full cartographic print functionality using the ExportWebMap service of ArcGIS, which can be configured with custom layout templates. One is provided that shows the map only, while another provides a layout with legend, etc. The Print widget works with the print which generates a printer-ready version of the map.
The Print widget has two required properties: view (reference to the MapView) and printServiceUrl (URL of the REST endpoint of the Export Web Map Task). The widget can preserve map scale or map extent in the printout. By default, the map extent is preserved. Use TemplateOptions to preserve scale instead.
The Print widget prints a localized date for all layouts
except map-only
. If using a custom print service, then customTextElements
are supported for each print
template. Values found there will be populated in the Print widget under Advanced options
. These values can
be overwritten in the Print widget UI, or programmatically using the
templateCustomTextElements property.
For more information about printing with the MAP_ONLY
layout, please see
exportOptions.
