state

Property
state Stringreadonly

The current state of the widget.

Possible Values:"disabled" |"ready" |"going-home"

Default Value:disabled

view

Property

viewpoint

Property
viewpoint Viewpointautocast

The Viewpoint, or point of view, to zoom to when going home. The initial value is determined a few different ways:

  • If no View is provided, the value is null.
  • If the View is ready, but the Viewpoint is not defined, the initial value of the Viewpoint is determined when the View became ready.
  • If the View is ready and the Viewpoint is defined by the user, the initial viewpoint value is the user-defined Viewpoint.
Default Value:null
Example
// Creates a viewpoint centered on the extent of a polygon geometry
let vp = new Viewpoint({
  targetGeometry: geom.extent
});

// Sets the model's viewpoint to the Viewpoint based on a polygon geometry
home.ViewModel.viewpoint = vp;
