Class: CreateBuffers
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
require(["esri/dijit/analysis/CreateBuffers"], function(CreateBuffers) { /* code goes here */ });
Description
(Added at v3.6)
The CreateBuffers widget creates polygons that cover a given distance from an input point, line, or polygon feature layer. You may specify multiple buffer distances to create multiple buffer polygons.
View the ArcGIS REST API documentation for the Create Buffer task for more details.

Cancels an analysis job that is being processed.
Parameters:
< |
Required | An object containing job information including job ID, status, message, etc returned by the job-status event. |
Starts checking the analysis job status for the given jobId. (Added at v3.12)
Parameters:
< |
Required | Job id of the analysis job to check. |
Starts an analysis tool.
Parameters:

params>< |
Optional | Parameters for creating the output service item. Refer to the ArcGIS REST API - Add Item help topic for a list of available parameters. Only used when the analysis task creates a hosted service. |
< |
Required | The input job parameters. Required parameters vary from class to class. Refer to the Analysis REST API Documentation for details (Under the Request Parameters section of each task). When creating a hosted service, a layer name is required. |
Sample:
