Identify imagery

This sample displays a digital elevation model (DEM) for the state of California rendered with hillshade. When you click on the map to query the image service, the returned results are raw DEM values (elevation in meters) for that location. To learn more, go to L.esri.IdentifyImage in the API reference.
