Magnifier

AMD: require(["esri/views/Magnifier"], (Magnifier) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import Magnifier from "@arcgis/core/views/Magnifier.js";
Class: esri/views/Magnifier
Inheritance: Magnifier Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19

The Magnifier allows end users to show a portion of the view as a magnified image. An instance of this class can be accessed through either MapView.magnifier or SceneView.magnifier.

magnifier-overlay

As you can see in the screenshot above, the Magnifier utilizes a default overlay image of a magnifier glass. The overlay image is set using the overlayUrl property. You can disable the overlay image by setting the Magnifier.overlayEnabled to false. The following demonstrates using a Magnifier without an overlay image.

magnifier-no-overlay

The Magnifier contains a default mask image, which is set using the maskUrl, and determines the visible area of the magnified image. Be default, the magnified area is in the shape of a circle. The following demonstrates an example of a mask image set in the shape of a square. Note that the overlayEnabled was set to false in this example as well to hide the overlay image, and only display the magnified area.

Example
view.when(() => {
  view.magnifier.visible = true;

  const offset = view.magnifier.size / 2;
  view.magnifier.offset = { x: offset, y: offset };

  //The magnifier will be displayed whenever the cursor hovers over the map.
  view.on("pointer-move", function (event) {
    view.magnifier.position = { x: event.x, y: event.y };
  });
});

Property Details

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

factor Number

Controls the amount of magnification to display. The larger the value, the more augmented the magnified image appears.

Default Value:1.5
maskEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether the mask image is enabled.

Default Value:true
maskUrl String

The mask url points to an image that determines the visible area of the magnified image (alpha channel). A default built-in circle mask with a diameter equal to the size of the magnifier is used when the maskUrl is null.

Default Value:null
offset ScreenPoint

The offset of the magnifier in pixels. The offset allows to adjust where the magnifier is drawn relative to its position.

Example
const offset = view.magnifier.size / 2;
view.magnifier.offset = { x: offset, y: offset };
overlayEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether the overlay image is enabled.

Default Value:true
overlayUrl String

The overlay url points to an image that is displayed on top of the magnified image. Note that the overlay image is not affected by the maskUrl. A default built-in image of a magnifier glass is used when the overlayUrl is null.

Default Value:null
position ScreenPoint

The position of the magnifier in pixels. The magnifier will not be displayed if the position is null.

Default Value:null

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.

hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}inherited

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
