Sample viewer app
Use a geoprocessing service and a set of features to identify statistically significant hot spots and cold spots.
Use case
This tool identifies statistically significant spatial clusters of high values (hot spots) and low values (cold spots). For example, a hotspot analysis based on the frequency of 911 calls within a set region.
How to use the sample
Select a date range (between 1998-01-01 and 1998-05-31) from the dialog and tap on Analyze. The results will be shown on the map upon successful completion of the AGSGeoprocessingJob
.
How it works
Create an AGSGeoprocessingTask
with the URL set to the endpoint of a geoprocessing service.
Create a query string with the date range as an input of AGSGeoprocessingParameters
.
Use the AGSGeoprocessingTask
to create an AGSGeoprocessingJob
with the AGSGeoprocessingParameters
instance.
Start the AGSGeoprocessingJob
and wait for it to complete and return an AGSGeoprocessingResult
.
Get the resulting AGSArcGISMapImageLayer
.
Add the layer to the map's operational layers.
