A collection of focus areas in a Map.

A focus area highlights a region of the map by de-emphasizing parts outside the area of interest. Two predefined styles, dark or bright are available, to choose a visualization with good contrast for scenes with different coloring. A focus area can have a colored outline, which is helpful to distinguish different focus areas in a map. Focus areas can be captured in slides and shared as part of a webscene.

Known Limitations

Focus areas are only supported in SceneView.

Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
any

Returns a new instance of this class.
