This object contains helper methods for generating a VectorFieldRenderer for a Vector-UV or Vector-MagDir ImageryLayer or ImageryTileLayer.

The createRenderer method in this module generates a renderer that may be applied directly to the input layer.

Method Details

createRenderer

Method
createRenderer(params){Promise<VectorFieldRendererResult>}

Generates a VectorFieldRenderer to display raster data with vector symbols. This renderer is often used for visualizing flow direction and magnitude information in meteorology and oceanography raster data.

Parameters
Specification
params Object

Input parameters for generating a vector field visualization. See the table below for details of each parameter.

Specification

The input layer for which the renderer is generated.

renderingRule RasterFunction
optional

Deprecated since 4.27. Use rasterFunction instead.

rasterFunction RasterFunction
optional

Specifies the function for how the requested image should be processed. When rasterFunction is applied, the server returns updated service information that reflects custom processing as defined by the raster function. If not provided, the output renderer is created using the layer's rasterFunction.

flowRepresentation String
optional

Defines the flow direction of the data. This can be modified to display meteorological (the direction it is flowing from) or oceanographic data (the direction it is flowing to). See VectorFieldRenderer.flowRepresentation for more information.

Possible Values:"flow-from"|"flow-to"

rotationType String
optional

Defines the origin and direction of rotation depending on how the angle of rotation was measured. This property only applies to rotations around the heading axis. See VectorFieldRenderer.rotationType for more information.

Possible Values:"geographic"|"arithmetic"

style String
optional

The predefined symbol styles used to represent the vector flow. See VectorFieldRenderer.style for more information.

Possible Values:"beaufort-ft"|"beaufort-km"|"beaufort-kn"|"beaufort-m"|"beaufort-mi"|"classified-arrow"|"ocean-current-kn"|"ocean-current-m"|"simple-scalar"|"single-arrow"|"wind-barb"

signal AbortSignal
optional

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

Returns
Type Description
Promise<VectorFieldRendererResult> Resolves to an object containing a VectorFieldRenderer that can be set on the input layer.

Type Definitions

VectorFieldRendererResult

Type Definition
VectorFieldRendererResult

The result object of the createRenderer() method. See the table below for details of each property.

Property

The VectorFieldRenderer renderer to apply to the input layer.
