import SliceAnalysisView3D from "@arcgis/core/views/3d/analysis/SliceAnalysisView3D.js";
Inheritance:
SliceAnalysisView3DAnalysisView3DAnalysisViewAccessor

Represents the analysis view of a SliceAnalysis after it has been added to SceneView.analyses.

The SliceAnalysisView3D is responsible for rendering a SliceAnalysis using custom visualizations.

It allows to create a new slice interactively using the place() method, exclude layers from slicing using the pickLayerToExclude() method, or make an existing analysis editable by enabling the interactive property.

While multiple SliceAnalysis can be added to SceneView.analyses, only one SliceAnalysis can be actively slicing the scene. The SliceAnalysis which is currently actively slicing the scene can be controlled by setting the active property on its analysis view to true.

The view for an analysis can be retrieved using SceneView.whenAnalysisView() similar to how layer views are retrieved for layers using SceneView.whenLayerView().

// retrieve analysis view for analysis
const sliceAnalysis = new SliceAnalysis();
view.analyses.add(sliceAnalysis); // add to the scene view
const sliceAnalysisView = await view.whenAnalysisView(sliceAnalysis);

active

Property
Type
boolean

Only one SliceAnalysis at a time can be active in a SceneView. When a slice analysis view is activated by setting this property to true, all other slice analysis views are automatically deactivated.

true

analysis

readonly Property
Type
SliceAnalysis

The slice analysis object associated with the analysis view.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string

Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

interactive

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Enables interactivity for the associated analysis. When set to true, manipulators will be displayed, allowing users to click and drag to edit the analysis if it has a valid SliceAnalysis.shape.

This property is automatically set to true when the analysis is assigned to a Slice component.

Default value
false

emit

inherited Method
Signature
emit <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, event?: this["@eventTypes"][Type]): boolean
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.5

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

The name of the event.

event
this["@eventTypes"][Type]

The event payload.

Returns
boolean

true if a listener was notified

hasEventListener

inherited Method
Signature
hasEventListener <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type): boolean
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

The name of the event.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if the class supports the input event.

isFulfilled

inherited Method
Signature
isFulfilled (): boolean
Inherited from: EsriPromiseMixin

isFulfilled() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled, true will be returned.

Returns
boolean

Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).

isRejected

inherited Method
Signature
isRejected (): boolean
Inherited from: EsriPromiseMixin

isRejected() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned.

Returns
boolean

Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.

isResolved

inherited Method
Signature
isResolved (): boolean
Inherited from: EsriPromiseMixin

isResolved() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned.

Returns
boolean

Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.

on

inherited Method
Signature
on <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, listener: EventedCallback<this["@eventTypes"][Type]>): ResourceHandle
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

An event or an array of events to listen for.

listener
EventedCallback<this["@eventTypes"][Type]>

The function to call when the event fires.

Returns
ResourceHandle

Returns an event handler with a remove() method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).

PropertyTypeDescription
removeFunctionWhen called, removes the listener from the event.
Example
view.on("click", function(event){
// event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

pickLayerToExclude

Method
Signature
pickLayerToExclude (options?: AbortOptions | null | undefined): Promise<void>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33

Starts an interactive operation to pick a layer to exclude from the slice analysis.

If the user clicks on the ground, the SliceAnalysis.excludeGroundSurface property is set to true. Otherwise, the clicked layer is added to the SliceAnalysis.excludedLayers.

This method can only be called when the analysis has a valid shape. Otherwise, an error is thrown. Calling this method sets interactive and active to true.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
options

An object specifying additional options.

Returns
Promise<void>

A promise which resolves when the operation is completed successfully or rejected if it is canceled.

place

Method
Signature
place (options?: AbortOptions | null | undefined): Promise<SlicePlacementResult>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33

Starts the interactive placement of a slice plane.

If the analysis does not have a SliceAnalysis.shape yet, the method allows placing the slice plane interactively in the view. If the analysis already has a shape, clicking in the view will replace the existing shape with a new one.

The placement operation will finish when the user presses the escape key. To stop the placing programmatically, pass an abort signal as an argument when calling the method.

Calling this method sets interactive and active to true.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
options

An object specifying additional options.

Returns
Promise<SlicePlacementResult>

A promise which resolves when the operation is completed successfully or rejected if it is canceled.

Example
const abortController = new AbortController();
try {
await analysisView.place({ signal: abortController.signal });
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === "AbortError") {
console.log("Placement operation was cancelled.");
}
}
// cancel the placement operation at some later point
abortController.abort();

when

inherited Method
Signature
when <TResult1 = this, TResult2 = never>(onFulfilled?: OnFulfilledCallback<this, TResult1> | null | undefined, onRejected?: OnRejectedCallback<TResult2> | null | undefined): Promise<TResult1 | TResult2>
Type parameters
<TResult1 = this, TResult2 = never>
Inherited from: EsriPromiseMixin
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: an onFulfilled function and an onRejected function. The onFulfilled executes when the instance of the class loads. The onRejected executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
onFulfilled

The function to call when the promise resolves.

onRejected

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns
Promise<TResult1 | TResult2>

Returns a new promise for the result of onFulfilled that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example
// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
// This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
// This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});
