HeightModelInfo

AMD: require(["esri/geometry/HeightModelInfo"], (HeightModelInfo) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import HeightModelInfo from "@arcgis/core/geometry/HeightModelInfo.js";
Class: esri/geometry/HeightModelInfo
Inheritance: HeightModelInfo Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.5

The height model info defines the characteristics of a vertical coordinate system. In a SceneView, the height model info of a WebScene is used to avoid rendering layers that have incompatible vertical coordinate systems. A height model info object is defined by a surface type, a vertical unit, and an optional datum realization.

Name Type Summary Class
String

The name of the class.

Property Details

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

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

heightModel

Property
heightModel String

The surface type or height model of the vertical coordinate system (VCS). A SceneView will only render layers containing data that is compatible with the HeightModelInfo of the scene.

Value Description
gravity-related-height A gravity-related VCS may set its zero point through a local mean sea level or a benchmark, and is compatible with other gravity-related VCS for the purposes of rendering.
ellipsoidal An ellipsoidal VCS defines heights that are referenced to an ellipsoid of a geographic coordinate system.

Possible Values:"gravity-related-height"|"ellipsoidal"

Default Value:"gravity-related-height"

heightUnit

Property
heightUnit String

The unit of the vertical coordinate system. A SceneView will use this property to check that the vertical data of layers that define a HeightModelInfo is compatible with the view.

Possible Values:"meters"|"feet"|"us-feet"|"clarke-feet"|"clarke-yards"|"clarke-links"|"sears-yards"|"sears-feet"|"sears-chains"|"benoit-1895-b-chains"|"indian-yards"|"indian-1937-yards"|"gold-coast-feet"|"sears-1922-truncated-chains"|"50-kilometers"|"150-kilometers"

Default Value:"meters"

vertCRS

Property
vertCRS String

The datum realization of the vertical coordinate system. A SceneView will only render layers that define a HeightModelInfo with an identical vertCRS to that of the scene, when using an ellipsoidal height model.

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 new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product.

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.

fromJSON

Method
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

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");

toJSON

Method
toJSON(){Object}

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.
