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

The ViewshedAnalysisView3D is responsible for rendering a ViewshedAnalysis using custom visualizations.

It allows to create new viewsheds interactively using the place() method, or to make existing viewsheds selectable and editable by enabling the interactive property. To select a viewshed, hover and click on its field-of-view manipulators.

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

// create new analysis and add it to the view
const viewshedAnalysis = new ViewshedAnalysis();
view.analyses.add(viewshedAnalysis);
// retrieve analysis view
const viewshedAnalysisView = await view.whenAnalysisView(viewshedAnalysis);

analysis

readonly Property

ViewshedAnalysis

The viewshed analysis object associated with the analysis view.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

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

interactive

Property
Type
boolean

Enables interactivity for the analysis. When set to true and the analysis includes any valid ViewshedAnalysis.viewsheds, they become selectable and editable.

Default value
false

selectedViewshed

Property
Type
Viewshed | null | undefined

The selected viewshed. If interactive is true, any viewshed in the analysis can be selected by clicking on it in the view. As long as interactive remains true, the properties of the selected viewshed can be edited by interacting with manipulators in the view.

type

readonly Property
Type
"viewshed-view-3d"

The analysis view type.

visible

autocast Property
Type
boolean

When true, the analysis is visualized in the view.

createViewsheds

Method
Signature
createViewsheds (options?: AbortOptions | null | undefined): Promise<void>

Starts the interactive creation of new viewsheds and adds them to the analysis.

The first click in the scene places the observer point and the second sets the viewshed's orientation and distance.

The creation process will finish when the user double-clicks the mouse or presses the escape key. To stop the creation programmatically, pass an abort signal as an argument when calling the method.

This method is similar to the place() method, but it allows to create multiple viewsheds in a row.

Calling this method sets interactive to true.

Note that when placing viewsheds interactively, the viewshed is created with a 1.5 meter vertical offset from the scene. This behavior is subject to change in a future release.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
options

An object specifying additional options.

Returns
Promise<void>

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

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

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

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);
});

place

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

Starts the interactive placement of a single viewshed, adding it to the analysis.

The first click in the scene places the observer point and the second sets the viewshed's orientation.

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 to true.

Note that when placing viewsheds interactively, the viewshed is created with a 1.5 meter vertical offset from the scene. This behavior is subject to change in a future release.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
options

An object specifying additional options.

Returns
Promise<ViewshedPlacementResult>

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

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
});
