public final class SceneView extends GeoView implements SceneViewNavigation
A user interface control that displays three-dimensional (3D) geographic content defined by an ArcGISScene.

A SceneView is a user interface that displays ArcGISScene layers and graphics in 3D. It uses a camera to control the visible area (extent) of the ArcGISScene and supports user interactions such as pan, zoom, tilt, and rotate. A scene view also provides access to the underlying layer data in a scene.

To display an ArcGISScene, add a SceneView control to your app and assign the scene to it. This loads the scene and its content, such as a Surface, Basemap and collection of operational layers, and displays this content on screen.

User interactions such as pan, zoom, tilt, rotate, and identify or selection are supported in the SceneView using touch, mouse, keyboard or pen/pencil. If required, you can override keys, clicks, and gestures to provide a specific user experience.

The visible area (Viewpoint) of a SceneView is defined by the position and orientation of a Camera. To determine the current visible area, call GeoView.getCurrentViewpoint(Viewpoint.Type). Make sure that any user-initiated or programmatic navigation is complete before getting the current Viewpoint by calling GeoView.navigatingProperty().

You can programmatically set the visible area by specifying a viewpoint. For example, to zoom to the Viewpoint specified by a camera, pass the Camera to the SceneView using one of its methods, such as setViewpointCamera(Camera). The SceneView has a camera controller (setCameraController(CameraController)) to manage the camera's movement and user interactions.

In an MVC architecture, the SceneView represents the View tier. The Model tier is represented by the ArcGISScene object which can provide a collection of operational layers, a Basemap and a Surface. You can only set one ArcGISScene per SceneView, but you can swap the Node.sceneProperty() with another when the application is running.

See Scene view for more information.

This class must only be created and used on the UI thread.

  • Method Details Link icon

    • arcGISSceneProperty Link icon

      public ObjectProperty<ArcGISScene> arcGISSceneProperty()
      The scene that the SceneView is displaying.

      If you assign an ArcGISScene to a SceneView, the scene, its Surface, Basemap, and collection of operational layers automatically start to load. When loading completes, the layers and basemap are rendered over the Surface in the scene view.

      You can load an ArcGISScene into your app before you assign it to a SceneView by calling GeoModel.loadAsync(). This is useful if you want to validate the content of a scene before you display it.

      Returns:
      the arcGISScene property

    • locationToScreen Link icon

      public LocationToScreenResult locationToScreen(Point location)
      Converts a location in map coordinates to a point in JavaFX local coordinates relative to the upper-left corner of the scene view.

      The screen coordinates are in device-independent pixels (DIP) relative to the upper-left corner of the scene view at position 0,0. The LocationToScreenResult indicates whether the screen coordinates are visible in the scene view. They can be invisible if they are on the other side of the globe, not in the Viewpoint, or are blocked by the base surface or elevation layer.

      To call this method, assign a scene to the scene view, ensure that it is loaded and the draw status is DrawStatus.COMPLETED.

      Specified by:
      locationToScreen in interface SceneViewNavigation
      Parameters:
      location - a location defined within the spatial reference of the scene view
      Returns:

      To call this method, assign a scene to the scene view, ensure that it is loaded and the draw status is DrawStatus.COMPLETED.

      Specified by:
      screenToBaseSurface in interface SceneViewNavigation
      Parameters:
      screenPoint - the JavaFX local coordinates
      Returns:
      the scene location on the base surface
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if screenPoint is null
      Since:
      100.0.0

    • screenToLocationAsync Link icon

      public ListenableFuture<Point> screenToLocationAsync(Point2D screenPoint)
      Asynchronously converts a screen coordinate relative to the upper-left corner of the scene view to a location in map coordinates.

      This is a high performance calculation executed on the GPU using a triangular mesh. Note that elevation values are approximated, and as the distance between the camera and the surface increases, the precision of the elevation value decreases.

      To call this method, assign a scene to the scene view, ensure that it is loaded and the draw status is DrawStatus.COMPLETED.

      Parameters:
      screenPoint - the JavaFX local coordinates
      Returns:
      a ListenableFuture. Add a listener to this to know when the result is ready. The result of the future is the location of the screen point.

    • setCameraController Link icon

      public void setCameraController(CameraController cameraController)
      Sets the camera controller manages the position, orientation, and movement of the camera for a SceneView.

      The controller handles user-interaction with the SceneView and updates the Camera. You can assign a CameraController with a specific navigation mode that is free roaming, following a moving target, fixed on a stationary target, or that supports AR transformation matrices. For more information, see CameraController.

      Parameters:
      cameraController - camera controller
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if cameraController is null
      Since:
      100.1.0

    • getCameraController Link icon

      public CameraController getCameraController()
      Gets the camera controller manages the position, orientation, and movement of the camera for a SceneView.

      The controller handles user-interaction with the SceneView and updates the Camera. You can assign a CameraController with a specific navigation mode that is free roaming, following a moving target, fixed on a stationary target, or that supports AR transformation matrices.

      The default camera is the GlobeCameraController.

      Returns:

    • getAnalysisOverlays Link icon

      public ListenableList<AnalysisOverlay> getAnalysisOverlays()
      Gets a modifiable list of analysis overlays that render the results of 3D visual analysis on the scene view.

      Dynamic 3D analyses, such as LineOfSight and Viewshed, generate visual results that are rendered on the scene view. To display the results, add the Analysis to a collection of AnalysisOverlay.getAnalyses() and then add the AnalysisOverlay to the collection of getAnalysisOverlays().

      Note that the SceneView.getAnalysisOverlays() collection can be empty but is never null. It's created for a specific SceneView so you can't reuse an AnalysisOverlay collection from another SceneView. Each AnalysisOverlay can only exist in one SceneView.getAnalysisOverlays() collection.

      Returns:
      a collection of analysis overlays that render the results of 3D visual analysis on the scene view
