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

fadeRatio Number

Only applicable to HeatmapRenderer created with the heatmap renderer creator. Indicates how much the user opted to fade the edges of the heatmap to transparent.

field1 Object

A numeric field used for generating a relationship renderer along with field2. In the default visualization, the values of this field are rendered along the vertical axis of the Legend.

Properties

field String The name of a numeric field.

normalizationField String optional The name of a numeric field used to normalize the given field. In choropleth visualizations it is best practice to normalize your data values if they haven't already been normalized.

classBreakInfos Object[] optional Describes the class breaks generated for this field. Specification maxValue Number optional The maximum bound of values to visualize in the given field. If a feature's value is greater than this value, then it will be assigned the default symbol of the renderer. minValue Number optional The minimum bound of values to visualize in the given field. If a feature's value is less than this value, then it will be assigned the default symbol of the renderer.

label String optional The label used to describe the field or variable in the legend.

field2 Object

A numeric field used for generating a relationship renderer along with field1. In the default visualization, the values of this field are rendered along the horizontal axis of the Legend.

Properties

field String The name of a numeric field.

normalizationField String optional The name of a numeric field used to normalize the given field. In choropleth visualizations it is best practice to normalize your data values if they haven't already been normalized.

classBreakInfos Object[] optional Describes the class breaks generated for this field. Specification maxValue Number optional The maximum bound of values to visualize in the given field. If a feature's value is greater than this value, then it will be assigned the default symbol of the renderer. minValue Number optional The minimum bound of values to visualize in the given field. If a feature's value is less than this value, then it will be assigned the default symbol of the renderer.

label String optional The label used to describe the field or variable in the legend.

fields String[]

An array of string values representing field names used for creating a predominance renderer.

flowTheme String

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

Possible Values:"flow-line"|"wave-front"

focus String

The focus of a relationship renderer. This determines the orientation of the legend.

isAutoGenerated Boolean

Indicates whether the renderer was created internally by the JS API's rendering engine for default FeatureReductionCluster visualizations. You should avoid setting or changing this value.

Default Value:false

lengthUnit String

Only applicable to renderer used in web scenes. Indicates the unit used in real-world sizes.

Possible Values:"inches"|"feet"|"yards"|"miles"|"nautical-miles"|"millimeters"|"centimeters"|"decimeters"|"meters"|"kilometers"|"decimal-degrees"

maxSliderValue Number

Indicates the value of the upper handle if a slider was used to generate the dot value for dot density renderer.

minSliderValue Number

Indicates the value of the lower handle if a slider was used to generate the dot value for dot density renderer.

numClasses Number

The number of classes used to classify each field of a relationship renderer. This determines the number of categories in the legend.

standardDeviationInterval Number

Indicates the standard deviation interval for each stop in a classed color or classed size renderer that was generated using the standard-deviation classification method.

Possible Values: 0.25 | 0.33 | 0.5 | 1

statistics Object

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

Only for renderers of type univariate-color-size with an above-and-below univariateTheme. Contains summary statistics about the data represented by the renderer. The Legend can use this information to avoid displaying values beyond the min and max data values of the layer.

Properties

max Number The maximum data value of the attribute represented by the renderer. Legends displaying above-and-below themed data will not display values greater than this number.

min Number The minimum data value of the attribute represented by the renderer. Legends displaying above-and-below themed data will not display values smaller than this number.

type String

Indicates the renderer type generated from one of the Smart Mapping functions.

Possible Values:"class-breaks-size"|"class-breaks-color"|"classed-color"|"classed-size"|"flow"|"predominance"|"relationship"|"univariate-color-size"

univariateSymbolStyle String

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

Only applicable to univariateColorSize renderers with an above-and-below univariateTheme. Indicates if the above and below renderer uses a predefined symbol pair provided by the API.

The custom style indicates the renderer was authored with custom symbols not provided as a predefined symbol pair in the renderer creator.

Possible Values:"caret"|"circle-caret"|"arrow"|"circle-arrow"|"plus-minus"|"circle-plus-minus"|"square"|"circle"|"triangle"|"happy-sad"|"thumb"|"custom"

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(){AuthoringInfo}

Creates a deep clone of the instance.

Returns

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

Example

// Creates a deep clone of the layer's authoring info
let authInfo = layer.renderer.authoringInfo.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

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");

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.
