Point | References | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript

import Point from "@arcgis/core/geometry/Point.js";

const Point = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/geometry/Point.js");

Inheritance: Point→Geometry→Accessor

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

A location defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates.

Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.

cache

readonlyinherited Property

Type: Record<string, any>

Inherited from: Geometry

The cache is used to store values computed from geometries that need to be cleared or recomputed upon mutation. An example is the extent of a polygon.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property

Type: string

Inherited from: Accessor

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

extent

readonlyinherited Property

Type: Extent | null | undefined

Inherited from: Geometry

The extent of the geometry. For a point, the extent is null.

hasM

Property

Type: boolean

Indicates if the geometry has M values.

M-values (measure) allow attribute values to be stored at the vertex of a point. A common usage for storing a measurement in the vertices along a linear feature are linear referencing applications.

hasZ

Property

Type: boolean

Indicates if the geometry has z-values (elevation).

latitude

Property

Type: number | null | undefined

The latitude of the point. If the spatial reference is Web Mercator, the latitude will be given in WGS84. In any geographic spatial reference, the latitude will equal the y coordinate. In all other cases the latitude will be null.

longitude

Property

Type: number | null | undefined

The longitude of the point. If the spatial reference is Web Mercator, the longitude will be given in WGS84. In any geographic spatial reference, the longitude will equal the x coordinate. In all other cases the longitude will be null.

m

Property

Type: number | undefined

The m-coordinate of the point in map units.

spatialReference

autocast inherited Property

Type: SpatialReference

Inherited from: Geometry

The spatial reference of the geometry.

Default value: SpatialReference.WGS84 // wkid: 4326

type

readonly Property

Type: "point"

The string value representing the type of geometry.

x

Property

Type: number

The x-coordinate (easting) of the point in map units.

Default value: 0

y

Property

Type: number

The y-coordinate (northing) of the point in map units.

Default value: 0

z

Property

Type: number | undefined

The z-coordinate (or elevation) of the point in map units.

fromJSON

inheritedstatic Method

Signature: fromJSON (json: any): any

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

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
json	any	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.

clone

Method

Signature: clone (): Point

Creates a deep clone of Point object.

Returns: Point
A new instance of a Point object equal to the object used to call .clone().

copy

Method

Signature: copy (other: Point): this

Copies all values from another Point instance.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
other	Point	The point to copy from.

Returns: this
Returns this instance.

distance

Method

Signature: distance (other: Point): number

Computes the Euclidean distance between this Point and a given Point. Points must have the same spatial reference.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
other	Point	The point to compute the distance to.

Returns: number
Returns the Euclidean distance between this Point and the other Point.

equals

Method

Signature: equals (point: Point | null | undefined): boolean

Determines if the input point is equal to the point calling the function.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
point	Point \| null \| undefined	The input point to test.

Returns: boolean
Returns true if the X, Y, Z coordinates of the input point along with its spatial reference and M value are exactly equal to those of the point calling equals().

normalize

Method

Signature: normalize (): this

Modifies the point geometry in-place by shifting the X-coordinate to within +/- 180 span in map units. You should clone() the point object before calling this method where appropriate.

Returns: this
Returns a point with a normalized x-value.

toJSON

inherited Method

Signature: toJSON (): any

Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns: any
The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
