Extent

AMD: require(["esri/geometry/Extent"], (Extent) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import Extent from "@arcgis/core/geometry/Extent.js";
Class: esri/geometry/Extent
Inheritance: Extent Geometry Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

The minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates of a bounding box. Extent is used to describe the visible portion of a MapView. When working in a SceneView, Camera is used to define the visible part of the map within the view.

Property Details

cache Objectreadonly inherited

The cache is used to store values computed from geometries that need to be cleared or recomputed upon mutation. An example is the extent of a polygon.

center Pointreadonly

The center point of the extent in map units.

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

extent Extentreadonly inherited

The extent of the geometry. For a point, the extent is null.

hasM Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the geometry has M values.

hasZ Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the geometry has z-values (elevation).

Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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.

centerAt(point){Extent}

Centers the extent to the specified Point. This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Parameter
point Point

The point to center the extent.

Returns
Type Description
Extent The new extent with point as the center.
clone(){Extent}

Creates a deep clone of Extent object.

Returns
Type Description
Extent A new instance of a Extent object equal to the object used to call .clone().
contains(geometry){Boolean}

Checks if the input geometry is contained within the extent.

Parameter
geometry Point|Extent

Input geometry to test if it is contained within the extent.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if the input geometry is contained within the extent.
equals(extent){Boolean}

Indicates if the input extent is equal to the testing extent.

Parameter
extent Extent

Input extent.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if the input extent is equal to the extent that calls equals().
expand(factor){Extent}

Expands the extent by the given factor. For example, a value of 1.5 will expand the extent to be 50 percent larger than the original extent. This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Parameter
factor Number

The multiplier value.

Returns
Type Description
Extent Returns the expanded extent.
fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter
json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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");
}
intersection(extent){Extent}

Shrinks the original extent to the intersection with the input extent.

This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate. If the original extent and the input extent have no intersection, the extent is not modified and null is returned.

Parameter
extent Extent

The input extent to intersect.

Returns
Type Description
Extent The intersection of the input Extent with the original Extent or null.
intersects(geometry){Boolean}

Tests to validate if the input geometry intersects the extent and returns a Boolean value.

geometry Geometry

The geometry used to test the intersection. It can be a Point, Polyline, Polygon, Extent or Multipoint.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true, if the input geometry intersects the extent.
normalize(){Extent[]}

Returns an array with either one Extent that's been shifted to within +/- 180 or two Extents if the original extent intersects the International Dateline.

This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Returns
Type Description
Extent[] The normalized Extent(s).
offset(dx, dy, dz){Extent}

Modifies the extent geometry in-place with X and Y offsets in map units. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Parameters
dx Number

The offset distance in map units for the X-coordinate.

dy Number

The offset distance in map units for the Y-coordinate.

dz Number

The offset distance in map units for the Z-coordinate.

Returns
Type Description
Extent The offset Extent.
removeHandles(groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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");
toJSON(){Object}inherited

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns
Type Description
Object The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
union(extent){Extent}

Expands the original extent to include the extent of the input Extent. This method modifies the extent geometry in-place. You should clone the extent object before calling this method where appropriate.

Parameter
extent Extent

The input extent to union.

Returns
Type Description
Extent The union of the input Extent with the original Extent.
