RasterStretchRenderer

RasterStretchRenderer defines the symbology with a gradual ramp of colors for each pixel in a ImageryLayer, ImageryTileLayer, and WCSLayer based on the pixel value. The RasterStretchRenderer works well when you have a large range of values to display, such as in imagery, aerial photographs, or elevation models.

The stretch renderer allows you to define the range of values to be displayed and apply a ColorRamp to those values.

Property Details

colorRamp Property colorRamp ColorRampautocast

The stretched values are mapped to this specified color ramp. The color ramp algorithm must set when using this renderer, otherwise the cie-lab algorithm used by default.

ImageryLayer rendering

computeGamma Property computeGamma Boolean

The computeGamma automatically calculates best gamma value to render exported image based on empirical model. This is applicable to any stretch type when useGamma is true.

Default Value:false

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

dynamicRangeAdjustment Property dynamicRangeAdjustment Boolean

When Dynamic Range Adjustment is true, the statistics based on the current display extent are calculated as you zoom and pan around the image. This property only applies to images in 2D MapView.

Default Value:false

gamma Property gamma Number[]

The gamma values to be used if useGamma is set to true. Gamma refers to the degree of contrast between the mid-level gray values of a raster dataset. Gamma does not affect the black or white values in a raster dataset, only the middle values. By applying a gamma correction, you can control the overall brightness of a layer. Gamma stretching is only valid with the none, standard-deviation, and min-max stretch types.

maxPercent Property maxPercent Number

Applicable when stretchType is percent-clip. Specifies the percentage of the highest values to exclude from the stretch.

minPercent Property minPercent Number

Applicable when stretchType is percent-clip. Specifies the percentage of the lowest values to exclude from the stretch.

numberOfStandardDeviations Property numberOfStandardDeviations Number

Applicable when stretchType is standard-deviation. Specifies the number of standard deviations to use. The values beyond the number of standard deviations become the outputMin and outputMax. The remaining values are linearly stretched between outputMin and outputMax.

outputMax Property outputMax Number

The outputMax denotes the output maximum, which is the highest pixel value. The outputMin and outputMax will set the range of values that will then be linearly contrast stretched. The outputMax value ranges from 0-255.

outputMin Property outputMin Number

The outputMin denotes the output minimum, which is the lowest pixel value. The outputMin and outputMax will set the range of values that will then be linearly contrast stretched. The outputMin value ranges from 0-255.

sigmoidStrengthLevel Property sigmoidStrengthLevel Number

The sigmoid strength level determines how much of the sigmoidal function will be used in the stretch. A low value such as 1 will only use the middle portion of the curve, which tends to produce dull and faint colors. A high value such as 6 will use the entire curve, which tends to produce bold and sharp colors.

statistics Property statistics Number[][]|Object[] Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15 RasterStretchRenderer since 4.12, statistics added at 4.15.

The input statistics can be specified through the statistics property. If not specified, they will be retrieved from the data. If dynamicRangeAdjustment is true, these values will be ignored.

Properties

min Number

The minimum pixel value.

max Number

The maximum pixel value.

avg Number

optional

The average pixel value.

stddev Number

optional

The standard deviation of the pixel value.

Examples

let renderer = new RasterStretchRenderer();
renderer.statistics = [
 [0, 100, 50, 10] // [<min>, <max>, <mean>, <standardDeviation>]
];

let bandStat = layer.rasterInfo.statistics[0];
let renderer = new RasterStretchRenderer();
renderer.statistics = [{
  min: valueSlider.values[0],
  max: valueSlider.values[1],
  avg: bandStat.avg,
  stddev: bandStat.stddev
}];

stretchType Property stretchType String

The stretch type defines a histogram stretch that will be applied to the rasters to enhance their appearance. Stretching improves the appearance of the data by spreading the pixel values along a histogram from the minimum and maximum values defined by their bit depth. For example, an 8-bit raster dataset or mosaic dataset will be stretched from 0 to 255. Different stretches will produce different results in the raster display.

The possible stretch types are listed below.

Value	Description
none	No stretch method will be applied, even if statistics exist.
standard-deviation	This stretch type applies a linear stretch between the values defined by the standard deviation value.
histogram-equalization	The pixel values are stretched to adjust the contrast using the histogram of the data.
min-max	This stretch type applies a linear stretch based on the output minimum and output maximum pixel values, which are used as the endpoints for the histogram.
percent-clip	This stretch type applies a linear stretch between the defined minPercent and maxPercent pixel values.
sigmoid	The Sigmoid contrast stretch is designed to highlight moderate pixel values in your imagery while maintaining sufficient contrast at the extremes.

Default Value:none

type Property type Stringreadonly

The type of Renderer.

For RasterStretchRenderer the type is always "raster-stretch".

useGamma Property useGamma Boolean

Denotes whether the gamma value should be used. When useGamma is false, the gamma is calculated from the statistics and histogram of the data. The gamma property is required if useGamma is true.

Default Value:false
