WCSLayer

AMD: require(["esri/layers/WCSLayer"], (WCSLayer) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import WCSLayer from "@arcgis/core/layers/WCSLayer.js";
Class: esri/layers/WCSLayer
Inheritance: WCSLayer Layer Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.17

WCS presents raster data from a OGC Web Coverage Service. Raster data are projected and rendered on the client-side. It supports versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 2.0.1. For version 2.0.1, it supports servers that support GEOTIFF coverage and implements the following extensions: Scaling, Interpolation, Range Subsetting, CRS, and KVP/Get.

To avoid cross-origin issues when using WCSLayer, you may set up a CORS enabled server or a proxy. ArcGIS Server (10.3.1+) image service based WCSLayers have CORS enabled by default.

portalItem

Property
portalItem PortalItem

The portal item from which the layer is loaded. If the portal item references a Feature Service or Scene Service, then you can specify a single layer to load with the layerId property.

Beginning with version 4.17, it is possible to load tables from feature service items hosted in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. This only applies to feature layers, and will successfully load if FeatureLayer.isTable returns true.

Examples
// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "caa9bd9da1f4487cb4989824053bb847"
  }  // the first layer in the service is returned
});
// Set hostname when using an on-premise portal (default is ArcGIS Online)
// esriConfig.portalUrl = "http://myHostName.esri.com/arcgis";

// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for SceneLayers.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "8d26f04f31f642b6828b7023b84c2188"
  },
  // loads the third item in the given feature service
  layerId: 2
});
// Initialize GeoJSONLayer by referencing a portalItem id pointing to geojson file.
const layer = new GeoJSONLayer({
  portalItem: new PortalItem({
    id: "81e769cd7031482797e1b0768f23c7e1",
    // optionally define the portal, of the item.
    // if not specified, the default portal defined is used.
    // see https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-config.html#portalUrl
    portal: new Portal({
      url: "https://jsapi.maps.arcgis.com/"
    })
  }
});
// This snippet loads a table hosted in ArcGIS Online.
const table = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: { // autocasts as esri/portal/PortalItem
    id: "123f4410054b43d7a0bacc1533ceb8dc"
  }
});

// Before adding the table to the map, it must first be loaded and confirm it is the right type.
table.load().then(function() {
  if (table.isTable) {
    map.tables.add(table);
  }
});

rasterFields

Property
rasterFields Field[]

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19 WCSLayer since 4.26, rasterInfo added at 4.19.
Deprecated since 4.29. Use serviceRasterInfo instead.

Raster information retrieved from data source.

The renderer assigned to the layer. The renderer defines how to visualize pixels in the WCSLayer. Depending on the renderer type, the pixels may be stretched across the color ramp or classified.

serviceRasterInfo

Property
serviceRasterInfo RasterInforeadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.29 WCSLayer since 4.26, serviceRasterInfo added at 4.29.

Raster information retrieved from tiled imagery data source.

timeExtent

Property
timeExtent TimeExtentautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 WCSLayer since 4.26, timeExtent added at 4.22.

The layer's time extent. When the layer's useViewTime is false, the layer instructs the view to show data from the layer based on this time extent. If the useViewTime is true, and both layer and view time extents are set, then features that fall within the intersection of the view and layer time extents will be displayed. For example, if the layer's time extent is set to display features between 1970 and 1975 and the view has a time extent set to 1972-1980, the effective time on the feature layer will be 1972-1975.

Default Value:null
Examples
if (!layer.useViewTime) {
  if (layer.timeExtent) {
    console.log("Current timeExtent:", layer.timeExtent.start, " - ", layer.timeExtent.end}
  } else {
    console.log("The layer will display data within the view's timeExtent.");
    console.log("Current view.timeExtent:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end}
  }
}
// set the timeExtent on the layer and useViewTime false
// In this case, the layer will honor its timeExtent and ignore
// the view's timeExtent
const layer = new ImageryTileLayer({
  url: "https://tiledimageservices.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/NLDAS2011_daily_wind_magdir/ImageServer",
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(2014, 4, 18),
    end: new Date(2014, 4, 19)
  },
  useViewTime: false
});
// timeExtent is set on the layer and the view
// In this case, the layer will display features that fall
// within the intersection of view and layer time extents
// features within Jan 1, 1976 - Jan 1, 1981 will be displayed
const view = new MapView({
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(1976, 0, 1),
    end: new Date(2002, 0, 1)
  }
});
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  url: myUrl,
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(1974, 0, 1),
    end: new Date(1981, 0, 1)
  }
});

timeInfo

Property
timeInfo TimeInfoautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 WCSLayer since 4.26, timeInfo added at 4.22.

TimeInfo provides information such as date fields that store start and end time for each feature and the fullTimeExtent for the layer.

Default Value:null

timeOffset

Property
timeOffset TimeIntervalautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 WCSLayer since 4.26, timeOffset added at 4.22.

A temporary offset of the time data based on a certain TimeInterval. This allows users to overlay features from two or more time-aware layers with different time extents. For example, if a layer has data recorded for the year 1970, an offset value of 2 years would temporarily shift the data to 1972. You can then overlay this data with data recorded in 1972. A time offset can be used for display purposes only. The query and selection are not affected by the offset.

Default Value:null
Example
// Offset a CSV Layer containing hurricanes from 2015 so that they appear in 2019 (+4 years).
let layer = new CSVLayer({
  url: `hurricanes-and-storms-2015.csv`,
  timeOffset: {
    value: 4,
    unit: "years"
  },
  timeInfo: {
    startField: "ISO_time"
  },
  renderer: {
    type: "simple",
    symbol: {
      type: "simple-marker",
      size: 6,
      color: "red",
      outline: {
        width: 0.5,
        color: "black"
      }
    }
  }
});

title

Inherited
Property
title String
Inherited from Layer

The title of the layer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList widget.

url

Property
url String

The URL of the WCS service endpoint of the layer.

useViewTime

Property
useViewTime Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 WCSLayer since 4.26, useViewTime added at 4.22.

Determines if the layer will update its temporal data based on the view's timeExtent. When false, the layer will display its temporal data based on the layer's timeExtent, regardless of changes to the view. If both view and layer time extents are set while this property is true, then the features that fall within the intersection of the view and layer time extents will be displayed. For example, if a layer's time extent is set to display features between 1970 and 1975 and the view has a time extent set to 1972-1980, the effective time on the feature layer will be 1972-1975.

Default Value:true
Example
if (featureLayer.useViewTime) {
  console.log("Displaying data between:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end);
}

identify

Method
identify(point, options){Promise<RasterIdentifyResult>}

Identify pixel values at a given location. This method identifies the content of an image service for the input location and in a specified dimensional definition.

Starting at version 4.25, the identify method returns pixel values from specific dimensional definitions for a transposed multidimensional service referenced in an ImageryTileLayer. Set the transposedVariableName parameter along with the multidimensionalDefinition to get pixel values from specific dimensional slices. To get pixel values from all dimensional slices, just set the transposedVariableName. The ImageryTileLayer's rasterInfo.hasMultidimensionalTranspose property must be true when setting the transposedVariableName parameter.

Parameters
point Point autocast
Autocasts from Object

Input point that defines the location to be identified.

optional

Optional settings for the identify request. At version 4.25, the transposedVariableName was added to get pixel values from specific dimensional definitions if the ImageryTileLayer references a transposed multidimensional image service. Set the transposedVariableName and multidimensionalDefinition get pixel values for the specified dimensional definitions from a transposed multidimensional service. If multidimensionalDefinition is not specified, pixel values will be returned from all the dimensional slices.

Returns
Type Description
Promise<RasterIdentifyResult> Returns a promise that resolves to a RasterIdentifyResult containing a location and pixel values. The identify returns a value for only one slice at a time for WCSLayer and for non-transposed multidimensional ImageryTileLayer. If the transposedVariableName parameter is set for the transposed multidimensional ImageryTileLayer, the result returns all pixel values from all multidimensional slices.

Signal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named AbortError when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.

Returns
Type Description
Promise Resolves when the resources have loaded.

on

Inherited
Method
on(type, listener){Object}
Inherited from Layer

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Parameters

An event or an array of events to listen for.

listener Function

The function to call when the event fires.

Returns
Type Description
Object Returns an event handler with a remove() method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).
Property Type Description
remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event.
Example
view.on("click", function(event){
  // event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
  console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

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");

when

Inherited
Method
when(callback, errback){Promise}
Inherited from Layer

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters
callback Function
optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function
optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns
Type Description
Promise Returns a new promise for the result of callback that may be used to chain additional functions.
Example
// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});
