Set initial viewpoint

View on GitHub

Display the map at an initial viewpoint representing a bounding geometry.

Image of set initial viewpoint

Use case

Setting the initial viewpoint is useful when a user wishes to first load the map at a particular area of interest.

How to use the sample

When the sample loads, note the map is opened at the initial view point that is set to it.

How it works

  1. Instantiate an ArcGISMap object.
  2. Instantiate a Viewpoint object using an Envelope object.
  3. Set the starting location of the map with initialViewpoint.
  4. Set the map to an ArcGISMapView object.

  • ArcGISMapView
  • Envelope
  • Viewpoint
