ESM: import LineOfSightAnalysisObserver from "@arcgis/core/analysis/LineOfSightAnalysisObserver.js";
Class: esri/analysis/LineOfSightAnalysisObserver
Inheritance: LineOfSightAnalysisObserverAccessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

The LineOfSightAnalysisObserver represents an observer of a LineOfSightAnalysis.

Use the position property to specify the position of the observer.

Specifies how the observer is placed on the vertical axis (z).

Property Details

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

elevationInfo

Property
elevationInfo Object

Specifies how the observer is placed on the vertical axis (z). See the ElevationInfo sample for an example of how this property may be used.

If the elevation info is not specified, the effective elevation depends on the position properties of the observer.

Properties
mode String

Defines how the observer is placed with respect to the terrain surface or 3D objects in the scene. See the table below for a list of possible values.

elevation-info

Mode Description
on-the-ground Observer is aligned to the Ground. If the scene contains an IntegratedMeshLayer or IntegratedMesh3DTilesLayer, then the observer is aligned to the IntegratedMeshLayer or IntegratedMesh3DTilesLayer. If that observer has a z-value, then the z-value is ignored in this mode. This is the default value when hasZ on position is false.
absolute-height Observer is placed at an absolute elevation (z-value) above sea level. This z-value is determined by the observer's z-value (if present). This mode doesn't take the elevation of the Ground or any other layers into account. This is the default value when hasZ on position is true.
relative-to-ground Observer is placed at an elevation relative to the Ground or IntegratedMeshLayer or IntegratedMesh3DTilesLayer. The elevation is determined by summing up the elevation of the Ground or IntegratedMeshLayer or IntegratedMesh3DTilesLayer and the geometry's z-value (if present).
relative-to-scene Observer is aligned to extruded polygons, meshes, 3D Object SceneLayers or BuildingSceneLayers, depending on which one has higher elevation. If the observer is not directly above a building or any other feature, it is aligned to the elevation of the Ground or the IntegratedMeshLayer or IntegratedMesh3DTilesLayer. If present, the observer's z-value is added to the elevation.

Possible Values:"on-the-ground"|"relative-to-ground"|"absolute-height"|"relative-to-scene"

offset Number|null
optional

An elevation offset, which is added to the vertical position of the observer. If unit is not defined, the offset is in meters. When mode = "on-the-ground", this property has no effect.

feature

Property
feature FeatureReference

References a feature which is excluded from the intersection testing. It is used to ensure that the analysis results remain independent of changes in the level of detail of the scene geometry.

When creating or editing the observer interactively, this property is populated automatically.

Note that you can assign client side graphics which will be taken into account accordingly. However, information about client side graphic will not be persisted and results in an empty reference after de-serialization.

position

Property
position Pointautocast

A Point representing the position of the observer. Once the position is set, a new line of sight analysis will synchronously calculate the intersection and the visibility to each target of the associated LineOfSightAnalysis.

If the observer is assigned to a LineOfSightLayer then this property must be defined before the layer can be saved to a WebScene.

Method Overview

Name Return Type Summary Class

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.

Accessor

Creates a deep clone of this object.

LineOfSightAnalysisObserver

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Accessor

Method Details

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone

Method
clone(){this}

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns
Type Description
this A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

hasHandles

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

Inherited
Method
removeHandles(groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
