MosaicRule

new MosaicRule({
  ascending: true,
  method: "center",
  operation: "last"
});

Property Overview

Property Details

ascending Boolean

Indicates whether the sort should be ascending. This property applies to all mosaic methods where an ordering is defined except seamline.

Default Value:true

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.

itemRenderingRule RasterFunction

The rendering rule applied on items before mosaicking.

lockRasterIds Number[]

An array of raster Ids. All the rasters with the given list of raster Ids are selected to participate in the mosaic. The rasters will be visible at all pixel sizes regardless of the minimum and maximum pixel size range of the locked rasters.

Default Value:null

Example

let mosaicRule = new MosaicRule();
mosaicRule.method = "lock-raster";
mosaicRule.lockRasterIds = [32,454,14];

method String

The mosaic method determines how the selected rasters are ordered. The mosaic method defines how the mosaicked image is created from these input rasters.

Value	Description
none	Orders rasters based on the order of objectIds in the mosaic dataset attribute table.
center	Enables rasters to be sorted based their ZOrder, then PixelSize, and then by a default order where rasters that have their centers closest to the view center are placed on top.
nadir	Enables rasters to be sorted by the ZOrder, then PixelSize, and then by the distance between the nadir position and view center. This is similar to the Closest to Center method but uses the nadir point to a raster, which may be different than the center, especially for oblique imagery.
viewpoint	Orders rasters based on the ZOrder, then PixelSize, and then by a user-defined location and nadir location for the rasters using the viewpoint.
attribute	Enables raster ordering based on ZOrder, then PixelSize, and then by a defined metadata attribute and its difference from a base value.
lock-raster	Enables a user to lock the display of single or multiple rasters based on the lockRasterIds.
northwest	Enables raster ordering by ZOrder, then PixelSize, and then by the shortest distance between the center of a raster to the northwest position.
seamline	Cuts the raster using the predefined seamline shape for each raster, using optional feathering along the seams, and orders images based on the ZOrder and then the SOrder fields in the attribute table.

Possible Values:"none"|"center"|"nadir"|"viewpoint"|"attribute"|"lock-raster"|"northwest"|"seamline"

Example

let mosaicRule = new MosaicRule();
mosaicRule.method = "lock-raster";

multidimensionalDefinition DimensionalDefinition[]

The multidimensional definitions associated with the ImageryLayer. Filters the layer by slicing data along defined variables and dimensions such as time, depth, altitude, etc. For example, you can display a particular variable such as temperature or salinity measured at a fixed dimension (e.g. time, depth). These data types are commonly used in atmospheric, oceanographic, and earth sciences. For example, it can be used to display sea temperature at -1000m below sea level for a specific week in the year.

Multiple definitions are consolidated by server into one single where clause. The consolidation rule is:

• For the same variableName but different dimensionName, it uses the AND operator to connect all dimension conditions for the same variable.
• For different variableName, it uses the OR operator to connect any variable that meets the dimension conditions.

Example

// Display water salinity at a specific point in time.
// In this case - Nov 30 2009
let mosaicRule = new MosaicRule();
mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition = [];
mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition.push(new DimensionalDefinition({
  variableName: "Salinity",
  dimensionName: "StdTime",
  values: [1259625600000]
}));

layer.mosaicRule = mosaicRule;

objectIds Number[]

Defines a selection using a set of ObjectIDs. This property applies to all mosaic methods.

operation String

Defines the mosaic operation used to resolve overlapping pixels.

Possible Values

Value	Description
first	The overlapping areas will contain the cells from the first raster dataset listed in the source.
last	The overlapping areas will contain the cells from the last raster dataset listed in the source.
min	The overlapping areas will contain the minimum cell values from all the overlapping cells.
max	The overlapping areas will contain the maximum cell values from all the overlapping cells.
mean	The overlapping areas will contain the mean cell values from all the overlapping cells.
blend	The overlapping areas will be a blend of the cell values that overlap. This blend value relies on an algorithm that is weight based and dependent on the distance from the cells to the edge within the overlapping area.
sum	The overlapping areas will contain the total sum of the cell values from all the overlapping cells.

Possible Values:"first"|"last"|"min"|"max"|"mean"|"blend"|"sum"

sortField String

The name of the attribute field that is used with a constant sortValue to define the mosaicking order when the mosaic method is set to attribute. The ordering is defined by the absolute value of the difference between the specified sort field value and the sort base value. For example, if the sort field is Month and the sort value is 7 (July), then the ordering is defined by ABS(Month -7).

Default Value:null

sortValue String|Number

A constant value defining a reference or base value for the sort field when the mosaic method is set to attribute.

Default Value:null

viewpoint Point

Defines the viewpoint location on which the ordering is defined based on the distance from the viewpoint and the nadir of rasters.

Example

let mosaicRule = new MosaicRule();
mosaicRule.method = "viewpoint";
mosaicRule.viewpoint = inPoint;
layer.mosaicRule = mosaicRule;

where String

The where clause determines which rasters will participate in the mosaic. This property applies to all mosaic methods. This property will be overridden by the ImageryLayer's definitionExpression property if both properties are set.

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.

clone(){MosaicRule}

Creates a clone of the MosaicRule object.

Returns

Type	Description
MosaicRule	A clone of the object that invoked this method.

Example

// Creates a clone of the mosaic rule
let mosaicRule = layer.mosaicRule.clone();

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

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");

toJSON(){Object}

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