Class: ImageServiceMeasureTool

require(["esri/toolbars/ImageServiceMeasureTool"], function(ImageServiceMeasureTool) { /* code goes here */ });

Description

(Added at v3.14)

A toolbar that provides support for measuring image services.

The image services must support mensuration. Mensuration is a method of applying geometric rules to find the lengths of lines, areas of surfaces, or volumes using information obtained from lines and angles. It can also include measuring the height and absolute location of a feature.

Any Image service with georeferenced raster dataset can provide distance, area, point and centroid locations. Height measurements can be obtained when a sensor model exists. Sun angle information is required to make measurements using the shadows.

An instance of this toolbar is provided to an instance of the ImageServiceMeasure widget in the measureToolbar property. The widget provides a simple user interface to the application while leveraging all the properties, methods and events of the ImageServiceMeasureToolbar.
