Provides a utility method that normalizes geometries that intersect the central meridian or fall outside the world extent so they stay within the coordinate system of the view. Support is limited to geometries in Web Mercator and WGS-84 spatial references.

Functions

normalizeCentralMeridian

Function

Normalizes geometries that intersect the central meridian or fall outside the world extent so they stay within the coordinate system of the view. Only supported for Web Mercator and WGS84 spatial references.

Signature
normalizeCentralMeridian (geometries: (Geometry | null | undefined) | (Geometry | null | undefined)[], url?: string | null, requestOptions?: RequestOptions): Promise<(Geometry | null | undefined)[]>
Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
geometries

An array of geometries to normalize.

url

A geometry service URL used to perform the normalization. If this value is null then the default geometry service URL in esriConfig.geometryServiceUrl is used.

requestOptions

Additional options to be used for the data request.

Returns
Promise<(Geometry | null | undefined)[]>

Resolves to an array of the normalized geometries.

Example
// create a non-normalized line that crosses the dateline
const polyline = new Polyline({
paths: [
[170, 52.68],
[190, 49.5]
]
});
normalizeUtils.normalizeCentralMeridian([polyline])
.then(function(polylines){
// returns a line representing the same geometry, but
// now is normalized between -180 and 180 on the x-coordinate.
// but represents the same feature
const graphic = new Graphic({
geometry: polylines[0],
symbol: { type: "simple-line" }
});

getDenormalizedExtent

Function
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.21

Returns an Extent over the dateline that is smaller than the normalized width if it visually contains the geometry. The input geometry must be normalized and its Geometry.spatialReference must be Web Mercator or WGS84.

Signature
getDenormalizedExtent (geometry: Polygon | Polyline | Multipoint | Extent | null | undefined): Extent | null | undefined
Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
geometry

The geometry used to create the denormalized extent. The geometry should be a Polygon, Polyline, or a Multipoint geometry. This method returns null if a Point or a Multipoint with only one point is used as the input geometry. It returns a cloned extent if an Extent is used as the input geometry.

Returns
Extent | null | undefined

The denormalized extent. The new extent is either the same as the normal extent of the geometry or a smaller extent.

Example
// create an extent that goes over the dateline
// as the points are cross the dateline
const multipoint = new Multipoint({
points: [
[158.6082458495678, 59.91028747107214],
[-145.98220825200923, 60.23981116998903]
]
});
const extent = normalizeUtils.getDenormalizedExtent(multipoint);
