Property Overview

Property Details

alphaCutoff Number

Specifies how transparency on the object is handled. If alphaMode is set to either mask or auto this property specifies the cutoff value below which masking happens (that is, the coresponding part of the Mesh is rendered fully transparent).

Default Value:0.5

alphaMode String

Specifies how transparency on the object is handled. See also alphaCutoff.

Type	Description
opaque	Alpha is ignored, and the object is rendered fully opaque.
blend	Alpha values are used for gradual transparency, blending between the object and its background.
mask	Alpha values are used for binary transparency, either displaying the object, or its background. See also alphaCutoff.
auto	The implementation mixes the mask and blend settings, masking below alphaCutoff and blending above it.

Possible Values:"auto"|"blend"|"opaque"|"mask"

Default Value:"auto"

color Colorautocast

Autocasts from Object|Number[]|String

Specifies a single, uniform color for the mesh component. This can be autocast with a named string, hex string, array of rgb or rgba values, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

colorTexture MeshTextureautocast

Autocasts from Object|HTMLImageElement|HTMLCanvasElement|HTMLVideoElement|ImageData|String

Specifies a texture from which to get color information. The texture is accessed using the uv coordinate specified for each vertex in the Mesh.vertexAttributes.

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

doubleSided Boolean

Specifies whether both sides of each triangle are displayed, or only the front sides.

Default Value:true

normalTexture MeshTextureautocast

Autocasts from Object|HTMLImageElement|HTMLVideoElement|HTMLCanvasElement|ImageData|String

Specifies a texture from which to get normal information. The texture is accessed using the uv coordinate specified for each vertex in the Mesh.vertexAttributes.

Method Overview

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.

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");
}

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");
