Detailed Description

Examples of RasterFunctions include Hillshade, Stretch, Colormap, Mask, and ShadedRelief, among others.

RasterFunctions in ArcGIS Runtime work very similarly to the ArcGIS REST API. The following workflow is a common way to render a raster using a raster function:

1. Create a raster function via JSON. For example, the following JSON could be used for a Pansharpen function:

   {
     "raster_function":{"type":"Pansharpen_function"},
     "raster_function_arguments":
     {
       "weights":{"double_array":[0.10000000000000001,0.5,0.40000000000000002,0.29999999999999999],"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
       "pansharpen_type":{"pansharpen_type":"gram_schmidt","type":"Raster_function_variable"},
       "pan_raster":{"name":"pan_raster","is_raster":true,"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
       "raster":{"name":"raster","is_raster":true,"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
       "type":"Raster_function_arguments"
     },
     "type":"Raster_function_template"
   }

   For documentation on the ArcGIS Runtime JSON format and syntax for the different raster functions, please see the Guide topic Add raster data.

2. Construct a RasterFunction object with the JSON created in step 1.
3. Get the RasterFunctionArguments with arguments.
4. Add rasters to the RasterFunctionArguments.
5. Create a new Raster object with this RasterFunction.
6. Create a new RasterLayer with the Raster object.
7. Add the RasterLayer to a map or scene.

For further details on raster functions, please see the ArcGIS Desktop documentation

Use an ImageServiceRaster as an argument for a raster function:

// create raster function
const rasterFunction = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("RasterFunction", {path: dataPath + "/hillshade_simplified.json"});
// get the arguments
const rasterFunctionArguments = rasterFunction.arguments;
// set the raster
rasterFunctionArguments.setRaster("raster", imageServiceRaster);

// create the raster from the raster function
const raster = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("Raster", { rasterFunction: rasterFunction });

// create raster layer from raster
const rasterLayer = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("RasterLayer", { raster: raster });

You can see the complete code in the QML sample Raster Function Service.
