Constructor Details

new ArcGISImageServiceLayer(url, options?)

Creates a new ArcGISImageServiceLayer object. A URL is a required parameter. This layer also takes some optional parameters. These optional parameters can be included in any order.
Parameters:
<String> url Required URL to the ArcGIS Server REST resource that represents a map service. An example is https://www.example.com/arcgis/rest/services/Portland/Portland_ESRI_LandBase_AGO/MapServer. For more information on constructing a URL, see The Services Directory and the REST API.
<Object> options Optional Optional parameters. See options list.
options properties:
<String> id Optional Id to assign to the layer. If not assigned, esri.Map assigns value.
<ImageServiceParameters> imageServiceParameters Optional The image service parameter options used when exporting an Image Service layer.
<InfoTemplate> infoTemplate Optional The template that defines the content to display in the map info window when the user clicks on a raster.
<Number> opacity Optional Initial opacity or transparency of layer. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 is 100% transparent and 1.0 has no transparency. The default value is 1.0.
<Object> resourceInfo Optional Specify the metadata of the layer.
<Boolean> useMapImage Optional By default, images are exported in MIME format, and the image is streamed to the client. When useMapImage is set to true, the image is saved to the server, and a JSON formatted response is sent to the client with the URL location of the image. A second call is automatically made to the server to retrieve the image. This methodology is required for secure services that go through a proxy server. In this situation, a map image cannot be streamed.
<Boolean> useMapTime Optional When true, the layer will update its content based on the map's time extent. The default values is true.
<Boolean> visible Optional Initial visibility of the layer. Default is true.
