Name Type Summary Class

Defines the type of calculation for the geometry.

LengthsParameters

The name of the class.

Accessor

If polylines are in a geographic coordinate system, then geodesic needs to be set to true in order to calculate the ellipsoidal shortest path distance between each pair of the vertices in the polylines.

LengthsParameters

The length unit in which perimeters of polygons will be calculated.

LengthsParameters

The array of polylines whose lengths are to be computed.

Property Details

calculationType

Property
calculationType String

Defines the type of calculation for the geometry. The type can be one of the following:

Value Description
planar Planar measurements use 2D Cartesian mathematics to calculate length. Use this type if the length needs to be calculated in the input spatial reference otherwise use preserve-shape.
geodesic Use this type to calculate an area or length using only the vertices of the polygon to define the lines connecting the vertices as geodesic segments independent of the actual shape of the polygon. Note: a geodesic segment is the shortest path between two points on an ellipsoid.
preserve-shape Calculate the area or length of the geometry on the surface of the Earth ellipsoid, for geometries defined in a projected or geographic coordinate system. This method preserves the shape of the geometry in its coordinate system which means the true area or length will be calculated for the geometry that is displayed on the map.

Possible Values:"planar" |"geodesic" |"preserve-shape"

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

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

geodesic

Property
geodesic Boolean

If polylines are in a geographic coordinate system, then geodesic needs to be set to true in order to calculate the ellipsoidal shortest path distance between each pair of the vertices in the polylines. If lengthUnit is not specified, the output is returned in meters.

lengthUnit

Property
lengthUnit Number |String

The length unit in which perimeters of polygons will be calculated. For a list of valid units, see linear unit codes.

polylines

Property
polylines Polyline[]

The array of polylines whose lengths are to be computed. The structure of each polyline in the array is same as the structure of the JSON polyline objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API.

Method Overview

Name Return Type Summary Class

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.

Accessor
*

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product.

LengthsParameters

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Accessor

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Accessor

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation.

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 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.

fromJSON

Method
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

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 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

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");

toJSON

Method
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.
