AuthoringInfo Visual Variable

This visual variable pertains specifically to authoringInfo and is different from visual variables directly on the renderer.

Properties

Property	Details
endTime	A Unix stamp. Both startTime or endTime can be fields. If this is the case, their names must be different.
field	The attribute field the user chose in the Smart Mapping gallery. Must be the same as in either startTime or endTime.
maxSliderValue	A numeric value indicating the maximum value displayed.
minSliderValue	A numeric value indicating the minimum value displayed.
startTime	A Unix time stamp. Both startTime or endTime can be fields. If this is the case, their names must be different.
style	(This property is used for comparison rendering). It is used to map the ratio between two numbers. It is possible to express that relationship as percentages, simple ratios, or an overall percentage. Valid values: percent percentTotal ratio
theme	Theme to be used only when working with visual variables of type colorInfo. Default is high-to-low. Valid values: above-and-below centered-on extremes high-to-low
type	A string value specifying the type of renderer's visual variable. Valid values: colorInfo rotationInfo sizeInfo transparencyInfo
units	(This property is used only with age renderers.) Units for startTime and endTime. Valid values: days, hours, minutes, months, seconds, years

Attribute Transparency Example

Allows displaying features with different levels of opacity.

{
  "type": "transparencyInfo",
  "minSliderValue": 0.0003,
  "maxSliderValue": 23.8951
}

Continuous Size Renderer Example

If a layer contains date values, it is possible to use a sequence of proportional symbols to view dates sequentially on a scene.

{
  "type": "sizeInfo",
  "minSliderValue": 1,
  "maxSliderValue": 14928.5396
}

Continuous Color Renderer Example

If a layer contains date values, it is possible to use color to view data sequentially from new to old or before and after a key date.

{
  "type": "colorInfo",
  "minSliderValue": 1,
  "maxSliderValue": 14928.5396,
  "theme": "high-to-low"
}

Age-Size Renderer Example

If a layer contains date or time values, it is possible to use a sequence of proportional symbols to view the age of features. Age reflects the length of time (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years) from a start date or time to an end date or time.

{
  "type": "sizeInfo",
  "minSliderValue": -129.2625,
  "maxSliderValue": 234.7374,
  "units": "days",
  "startTime": "DATE",
  "endTime": 1471970511924,
  "field": "DATE"
}

Age-Color Renderer Example

If a layer contains date or time values, it is possible to use color to represent the age of features. Age reflects the length of time (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years) from a start date or time to an end date or time.

{
  "type": "colorInfo",
  "minSliderValue": -129.2625,
  "maxSliderValue": 234.7374,
  "units": "days",
  "startTime": "DATE",
  "endTime": 1471970511924,
  "field": "DATE",
  "theme": "high-to-low"
}

Compare Renderer (special color renderer) Example

This style allows mapping the ratio between two numbers and expresses that relationship as percentages, simple ratios, or overall percentage.

{
  "type": "colorInfo",
  "minSliderValue": 0.0003858501658018686,
  "maxSliderValue": 23.89513157894737,
  "theme": "above-and-below",
  "style": "ratio"
}
