Use the Sketch Editor to edit or sketch a new point, line, or polygon geometry on to a map.
Use case
A field worker could annotate features of interest on a map (via the GUI) such as location of dwellings (marked as points), geological features (polylines), or areas of glaciation (polygons).
How to use the sample
Choose which geometry type to sketch from one of the available buttons. Choose from points, multipoints, polylines, polygons, freehand polylines, freehand polygons and rectangles.
Use the control panel to cancel the sketch, undo or redo changes made to the sketch and to save the sketch to the graphics overlay. There is also the option to select a saved graphic and edit its geometry using the Sketch Editor. The graphics overlay can be cleared using the clear all button.
How it works
Create a SketchEditor and set it to the MapView with mapView.setSketchEditor(sketchEditor).
Use SketchEditor.start(SketchCreationMode.chooseGeometryType) to start sketching. If editing an existing graphic's geometry, use SketchEditor.start(graphic.getGeometry).
Check to see if undo and redo are possible during a sketch session using sketchEditor.canUndo() and sketchEditor.canRedo(). If it's possible, use sketchEditor.undo() and sketchEditor.redo().
Check if sketch is valid using sketchEditor.isSketchValid(), then allow the sketch to be saved to a GraphicsOverlay.
Get the geometry of the sketch using sketchEditor.getGeometry(), and create a new Graphic from that geometry. Add the graphic to the graphics overlay.
To exit the sketch editor, use sketchEditor.stop().
