Property Overview

Property Details

geodesicDistanceThreshold Number

The threshold distance used by the "auto" mode to switch between planar and geodesic linear computations. The threshold is measured in meters.

Default Value:100000

Example:

// To set the threshold at 10 km
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view,
    geodesicDistanceThreshold: 10000
  }
});

measurement Objectreadonly

The area and perimeter of the measurement polygon in square meters and meters respectively.

Properties:

area Number The area (m²).

perimeter Number The perimeter (m).

geometry Polygon Measurement area.

Example:

// After creating and adding the AreaMeasurement2D widget
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
view.ui.add(measurementWidget, "top-right");

// Raw measurements (in meters) can be accessed from this property
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.measurement", function(measurement) {
  console.log(
     "Area: ", measurement.area,
     "Perimeter: ", measurement.perimeter
  );
});

measurementLabel Objectreadonly

This property returns the locale specific representation of the area and perimeter. Areas and perimeters are rounded to two decimal places. Areas are sourced from the measurement property (in square meters) and converted to the user defined units/system and mode.

Properties:

area Number The area (m²).

perimeter Number The perimeter (m).

Example:

// After creating and adding the AreaMeasurement2D widget
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
view.ui.add(measurementWidget, "top-right");

// Measurement labels can be accessed from this property
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.measurementLabel", function(label) {
  console.log(
     "Area: ", label.area,
     "Perimeter: ", label.perimeter
  );
});

mode String

The mode used to calculate the area and perimeter of a polygon.

Possible Values: auto | planar | geodesic

Default Value:auto

Example:

// To create the AreaMeasurement2D widget that uses geodesic computations
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view,
    mode: "geodesic"
  }
});

// To display the current mode.
console.log("Current mode: ", measurementWidget.viewModel.mode);

modes String[]readonly

An array of valid mode values. By default, the following units are included: auto, planar, geodesic.

Example:

// To display the available modes in the console
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
console.log("All modes: ", measurementWidget.viewModel.modes.join(", "));

state Stringreadonly

The ViewModel's state.

Possible Values: disabled | ready | measuring | measured

Value	Description
disabled	not ready yet
ready	ready for measuring
measuring	measuring has started
measured	measuring has finished

Default Value:disabled

Example:

// To display the state of the AreaMeasurement2D widget
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.state", function(state){
  console.log("Current state: ", state);
});

unit String

Unit system (imperial, metric) or specific unit used for displaying the area values.

Possible Values: metric | imperial | square-inches | square-feet | square-us-feet | square-yards | square-miles | square-meters | square-kilometers | acres | ares | hectares

Example:

// To create the AreaMeasurement2D widget that displays area in square US feet
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view,
    unit: "square-us-feet"
  }
});

// To display the current measurement unit
console.log('Current unit: ', measurementWidget.viewModel.unit);

unitOptions String[]

List of available units and unit systems (imperial, metric) for displaying the area values. By default, the following units are included: metric, imperial, square-inches, square-feet, square-us-feet, square-yards, square-miles, square-meters, square-kilometers, acres, ares, hectares.

Example:

// To display the available units to the console
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
console.log('All units: ', measurementWidget.viewModel.unitOptions.join(", "));

view MapView

The view from which the widget will operate.

Example:

// To create the AreaMeasurement2D widget with the view property
var measurementWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view
  }
});
