Display subtype feature layer

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Displays a composite layer of all the subtype values in a feature class.

Display subtype feature layer app

Use case

This is useful for controlling labeling, visibility and symbology of a given subtype as though they are distinct layers on the map.

How to use the sample

The sample loads with the sublayer visible on the map. Toggle its visibility with the "Show sublayer" checkbox. Change the sublayer's renderer with the radio buttons, using "Show original renderer" or "Show alternative renderer", and set its minimum scale using the "Set sublayer minimum scale" button. This will set the sublayer's minimum scale to that of the current map scale. Zoom in and out to see the sublayer become visible based on its new scale range.

How it works

  1. Create a SubtypeFeatureLayer from a ServiceFeatureTable that defines a subtype, and add it to the ArcGISMap.
  2. Get a SubtypeSublayer from the subtype feature using its name.
  3. Enable the sublayer's labels and define them with a LabelDefinitions.
  4. Set the visibility status using this sublayer's isVisible property.
  5. Change the sublayer's symbology with .renderer.
  6. Update the sublayer's minimum scale value with .minScale.
