Class: ObliqueViewer

esri.dijit.ObliqueViewer

Description

(Added at v3.14)
(Currently in beta)
The oblique viewer widget, displays images in their native coordinate system using an Image Coordinate System (ICS). See ImageSpatialReference. Oblique images are displayed in their native ICS, to avoid distortion caused by projecting them to a geographic or projected coordinate system. The widget allows the user to pan around in oblique mode, in a single viewing angle, or switch angles to view an area of interest from different angles. This widget requires an image service published on a 10.3 or higher to ArcGIS Server. The service data source must be mosaic datasets authored using the frame camera raster type. The map used to construct the viewer must have this type of image service.

Constructor Details

new esri.dijit.ObliqueViewer(params)

Creates an instance of the ObliqueViewer widget.
Parameters:
<Object> params Required Constructor options. See object specification table below for more details about each property.
params properties:
<Number> azimuthAngle Optional Azimuth angle value for which to display oblique images. If not provided, the widget is initialized in nadir mode, displaying ortho images.
<String> azimuthField Optional Image service field that denotes the sensor azimuth value for a record. Default value is SensorAzimuth.
<Number> azimuthTolerance Optional Tolerance value applied when filtering azimuth images. Default is 10.
<String> elevationField Optional Image service field that denotes the sensor elevation value for a record. Default value is SensorElevation.
<Number> elevationThreshold Optional Elevation value between 0 and 90 that differentiates an image as oblique or nadir. Default value is 70.
<ArcGISImageServiceLayer> imageServiceLayer Required Image service layer to be used as source for oblique images.
<Map> map Required Map object associated with the widget.
<Boolean> noQueryOnExtentChange Optional When true, the widget doesn't refresh itself with new oblique records when the map's extent changes. Default value is false.
<Object[]> rasterInfoFields Optional Raster info fields to be queried and displayed in the raster list. For object specification, see the table in the rasterInfoFields property.
<String | Node> rasterListDiv Optional DOM Node or id, where the list element is to be placed.
<Boolean> rasterListRefresh Optional When true, list is populated on data refresh.
<String | Node> rotationDiv Optional DOM Node or id, where the oblique rotation gauge element is to be placed.
<Boolean> showThumbnail Optional When true, thumbnail images for records are displayed in the list. Default value is true.
<Function> sorter Optional Sorting function that takes query results and sorts them. The first one from the list is displayed by default when the map's extent changes. Users can define their own sorters. The sorting function takes one parameter for the input query records.
