Method Details

sizeRange Method sizeRange(params){Promise<(SizeRangeResult|null|undefined)>}

Generates a suggested size range (i.e. the minSize and maxSize size variables) for a scale-dependent size visual variable.

Known Limitations

This function is not intended for use in 3D SceneViews.

Parameters

Specification

params Object

See the table below for details about parameters that may be passed to this function.

Specification

The layer for which to generate a suggested min/max size range based on scale for a size visual variable.

view MapView|SceneView

The MapView or SceneView where the layer will be rendered.

filter FeatureFilter

optional

Since 4.31 When defined, only features included in the filter are considered in the attribute and spatial statistics calculations when determining the final renderer. This is useful when a lot of variation exists in the data that could result in undesired data ranges. A common use case would be to set a filter that only includes features in the current extent of the view where the data is most likely to be viewed. Currently, only geometry filters with an intersects spatial relationship are supported. All other filter types (including where) are ignored.

forBinning Boolean

optional

Indicates whether the generated renderer is for a binning visualization.

signal AbortSignal|null|undefined

optional

Allows for cancelable requests. If canceled, the promise will be rejected with an error named AbortError. See also AbortController.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise<(SizeRangeResult\|null\|undefined)>	Resolves to an object containing the suggested `minSize` and `maxSize` by scale for the layer's renderer.

Example

sizeRange({
  layer: featureLayer,
  view: view
}).then(function(response){

  // update the minSize and maxSize of a size visual variable
  // on a layer's renderer to be scale-dependent
  const renderer = featureLayer.renderer.clone();
  const sizeVariable = renderer.visualVariables.filter( vv => vv.type === "size")[0].clone();
  sizeVariable.minSize = response.minSize;
  sizeVariable.maxSize = response.maxSize;

  renderer.visualVariables = [ sizeVariable ];
  featureLayer.renderer = renderer;
});

Type Definitions

SizeRangeResult Type Definition SizeRangeResult

The suggested minSize and maxSize size variables generated from the sizeRange() function to apply to the SizeVariable used for scale-dependent bounded proportional symbols.

Properties: minSize SizeVariable

The suggested sizes of the smallest symbols at various scales in a layer with a size visualization. Note that this must be a scale-dependent stops size variable according to the Size Variable documentation.

maxSize SizeVariable

The suggested sizes of the largest symbols at various scales in a layer with a size visualization. Note that this must be a scale-dependent stops size variable according to the Size Variable documentation.
