How to use the sample
The map view has several methods for setting its current viewpoint. Select a viewpoint from the UI to see the viewpoint changed using that method.
How it works
- Create a new
Map
object and set it to theMapView
object. - Change the map's
Viewpoint
using one of the available methods:
- Use
MapView.SetViewpointAsync()
to pan to a viewpoint. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointCenterAsync()
to center the viewpoint on aPoint
. - Use
MyMapView.SetViewpointScaleAsync()
to set a distance from the ground using a scale. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointGeometryAsync()
to set the viewpoint to a givenGeometry
.
