The ColorSizeSlider widget is intended for authoring and exploring data-driven visualizations in any layer that can be rendered with a ColorVariable and a SizeVariable. Both visual variables should be used to visualize the same data variable.

This slider and visualization style is designed specifically for 3D thematic visualizations where both size and color are used to visualize the same data variable in order to minimize confusion because of distortion in perception. For example, a visualization of extruded points may be difficult to understand if two features of similar sizes (and therefore data values) are located far apart from one another; the feature furthest from the Camera will appear smaller than the feature closer to the camera. The color variable can help the user understand that both features have similar values.

ColorSizeSlider with perspective

At a minimum you must set the min, max, and stops properties of the widget. The stops are used to render a color gradient on the track of the slider.

See the image below for a summary of the configurable options available on this slider.

ColorSizeSlider with annotations

The fromRendererResult() method can be used to conveniently create this slider from the result of the createContinuousRenderer() method.

const params = {
layer: layer,
basemap: map.basemap,
valueExpression: "( $feature.POP_POVERTY / $feature.TOTPOP_CY ) * 100",
view: view
};
let rendererResult = null;
univariateColorSizeRendererCreator
.createContinuousRenderer(params)
.then(function(response) {
rendererResult = response;
layer.renderer = response.renderer;
return histogram({
layer: layer,
valueExpression: colorParams.valueExpression,
view: view,
numBins: 70
});
})
.then(function(histogramResult) {
const slider = ColorSizeSlider.fromRendererResult(rendererResult, histogramResult);
slider.container = "slider";
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log("there was an error: ", error);
});

This slider should be used to update the matching color and size visual variables in a layer's renderer. It is the responsibility of the app developer to set up event listeners on this slider that update these variables in the appropriate renderer.

// when the user slides the handle(s), update the renderer
// with the updated color stops
slider.on(["thumb-change", "thumb-drag"], function() {
const renderer = layer.renderer.clone();
renderer.visualVariables = slider.updateVisualVariables( renderer.visualVariables );
layer.renderer = renderer;
});

});

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

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

destroyed

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: Widget

When true, this property indicates whether the widget has been destroyed.

handlesSyncedToPrimary

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

Only applicable when three thumbs (i.e. handles) are set on the slider (i.e. when primaryHandleEnabled is true). This property indicates whether the position of the outside handles are synced with the middle, or primary, handle. When enabled, if the primary handle is moved then the outside handle positions are updated while maintaining a fixed distance from the primary handle.

See also
Default value
true
Example
// enables the primary handles and syncs it with the others
slider.primaryHandleEnabled = true;
slider.handlesSyncedToPrimary = true;
slider.persistSizeRangeEnabled = true;

histogramConfig

inherited Property
Type
HistogramConfig | null | undefined
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

The Histogram associated with the data represented on the slider. The bins are typically generated using the histogram statistics function.

See also
Example
histogram({
layer: featureLayer,
field: "fieldName",
numBins: 30
}).then(function(histogramResult){
// set the histogram to the slider
slider.histogramConfig = {
bins: histogramResult.bins
};
});

icon

inherited Property
Type
Icon["icon"] | null | undefined
Inherited from: Widget
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27

Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).

See also

id

inherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Widget

The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.

inputFormatFunction

inherited Property
Type
InputFormatFunction | null | undefined
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

A function used to format user inputs. As opposed to labelFormatFunction, which formats thumb labels, the inputFormatFunction formats thumb values in the input element when the user begins to edit them.

The image below demonstrates how slider input values resemble corresponding slider values by default and won't match the formatting set in labelFormatFunction.

Slider without input formatter

If you want to format slider input values so they match thumb labels, you can pass the same function set in labelFormatFunction to inputFormatFunction for consistent formatting.

Slider with input formatter

However, if an inputFormatFunction is specified, you must also write a corresponding inputParseFunction to parse user inputs to understandable slider values. In most cases, if you specify an inputFormatFunction, you should set the labelFormatFunction to the same value for consistency between labels and inputs.

This property overrides the default input formatter, which formats by calling toString() on the input value.

See also
Example
// Formats the slider input to abbreviated numbers with units
// e.g. a thumb at position 1500 will render with an input label of 1.5k
slider.inputFormatFunction = function(value, type){
if(value >= 1000000){
return (value / 1000000).toPrecision(3) + "m"
}
if(value >= 100000){
return (value / 1000).toPrecision(3) + "k"
}
if(value >= 1000){
return (value / 1000).toPrecision(2) + "k"
}
return value.toFixed(0);
}

inputParseFunction

inherited Property
Type
InputParseFunction | null | undefined
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

Function used to parse slider inputs formatted by the inputFormatFunction. This property must be set if an inputFormatFunction is set. Otherwise the slider values will likely not update to their expected positions.

Overrides the default input parses, which is a parsed floating point number.

See also
Example
// Parses the slider input (a string value) to a number value understandable to the slider
// This assumes the slider was already configured with an inputFormatFunction
// For example, if the input is 1.5k this function will parse
// it to a value of 1500
slider.inputParseFunction = function(value, type, index){
let charLength = value.length;
let valuePrefix = parseFloat(value.substring(0,charLength-1));
let finalChar = value.substring(charLength-1);
if(parseFloat(finalChar) >= 0){
return parseFloat(value);
}
if(finalChar === "k"){
return valuePrefix * 1000;
}
if(finalChar === "m"){
return valuePrefix * 1000000;
}
return value;
}

label

autocast Property
Type
string

The widget's default label. This label displays when it is used within another widget, such as the Expand or LayerList widgets.

labelFormatFunction

inherited Property
Type
LabelFormatFunction | null | undefined
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

A modified version of Slider.labelFormatFunction, which is a custom function used to format labels on the thumbs, min, max, and average values. Overrides the default label formatter. This function also supports date formatting.

Example
// For thumb values, rounds each label to whole numbers
slider.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
return (type === "value-change") ? value.toFixed(0): value;
}

max

inherited Property
Type
number
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

The maximum value or upper bound of the slider. If the largest slider value in the constructor is greater than the max set in this property, then the max will update to match the largest slider value.

Example
slider.max = 150;

min

inherited Property
Type
number
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

The minimum value or lower bound of the slider. If the smallest slider value in the constructor is greater than the min set in this property, then the min will update to match the smallest slider value.

Example
slider.min = -150;

persistSizeRangeEnabled

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19

Only applicable when three thumbs (i.e. handles) are set on the slider (i.e. when primaryHandleEnabled is true). This property is typically used in diverging, or above-and-below renderer configurations.

When true, ensures symbol sizes in the above range are consistent with symbol sizes in the below range for all slider thumb positions. In other words, the size values in the stops will adjust proportionally according to the positions of the data values within the constraints of the size range (maxSize - minSize) as the slider thumbs update. When false, size values in the stops will remain the same even when slider thumb values change.

In most cases, this should be set to true to keep sizes in the above range consistent with sizes in the below range to avoid map misinterpretation.

See also
Default value
false
Example
slider.primaryHandleEnabled = true;
slider.persistSizeRangeEnabled = true;

precision

inherited Property
Type
number
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

Defines how slider thumb values should be rounded. This number indicates the number of decimal places slider thumb values should round to when they have been moved.

This value also indicates the precision of thumb labels when the data range is less than 10 (i.e. (max - min) < 10).

When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in this property.

For example, given the default precision of 4, and the following slider configuration, The labels of the thumbs will display two decimal places, but the precision of the actual thumb values will not be lost even when the user slides or moves the thumb.

const slider = new Slider({
min: 20,
max: 100, // data range of 80
values: [50.4331],
// thumb label will display 50.43
// thumb value will maintain precision, so
// value will remain at 50.4331
container: "sliderDiv"
});

If the user manually enters a value that has a higher precision than what's indicated by this property, the precision of that thumb value will be maintained until the thumb is moved by the user. At that point, the value will be rounded according to the indicated precision.

If thumb labels aren't visible, they must be enabled with labelInputsEnabled.

Keep in mind this property rounds thumb values and shouldn't be used exclusively for formatting purposes. To format thumb labels, use the labelFormatFunction property.

Default value
4
Example
slider.precision = 7;

primaryHandleEnabled

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

When true, the slider will render a third handle between the two handles already provided by default. This is the primary handle. Three or five stops must be defined for the primary handle to render. The primary handle represents the middle stop.

When handlesSyncedToPrimary is true, then this handle will control the position of the others when moved.

This is typically used in diverging, or above-and-below renderer configurations.

See also
Default value
false
Example
// enables the primary handles and syncs it with the others
slider.primaryHandleEnabled = true;
slider.handlesSyncedToPrimary = true;
slider.persistSizeRangeEnabled = true;

state

readonlyinherited Property
Type
SmartMappingSliderBaseState
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

The state of the view model.

stops

Property
Type
ColorSizeStop[]

The colors and sizes corresponding with data values in the ColorVariable and SizeVariable of the renderer associated with the slider.

Use the fromRendererResult() method to conveniently construct these stops from a renderer generated from the createContinuousRenderer() smart mapping module.

Use updateVisualVariables() to update the renderer's visual variables with the values matching the slider thumb positions.

See also
Example
slider.stops = [
{ value: 25, color: "white", size: 1000 },
{ value: 75, color: "dodgerblue", size: 100000 }
];

syncedSegmentsEnabled

inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

When true, all segments will sync together in updating thumb values when the user drags any segment. This maintains the interval between all thumbs when any segment is dragged. Only applicable when visibleElements.interactiveTrack is true.

In sliders where the primary handle is enabled, this allows you to disable handlesSyncedToPrimary to keep handle movements independent of the middle (primary) handle, but still provide an option for the end user to sync handles with the primary handle via slider drag events.

See also
Default value
false
Example
slider.visibleElements = {
interactiveTrack: true
};
slider.syncedSegmentsEnabled = true;

viewModel

autocast Property
Type
ColorSizeSliderViewModel

The view model for the ColorSizeSlider widget. This class contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the ColorSizeSliderViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the ColorSizeSlider widget.

visible

inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: Widget

Indicates whether the widget is visible.

If false, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the DefaultUI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of "none".

Default value
true
Example
// Hides the widget in the view
widget.visible = false;

visibleElements

inherited Property
Type
VisibleElements
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget. This property provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off.

See also
Example
slider.visibleElements = {
interactiveTrack: true
};
slider.syncedSegmentsEnabled = true;

zoomOptions

inherited Property
Type
ZoomOptions | null | undefined
Inherited from: SmartMappingSliderBase

Zooms the slider track to the bounds provided in this property. When min and/or max zoom values are provided, the absolute min and max slider values are preserved and rendered at their typical positions on the slider. However, the slider track itself is zoomed so that thumbs cannot be moved above or below the provided min and max zoomed values.

When a slider is in a zoomed state, the zoomed ends of the track will appear jagged. In the image below, notice how the top thumb cannot be moved past the zoom max of 31 even though the slider max is 200.

slider-zoom

To exit a zoomed state, the user can click the jagged line or the developer can set the zoomOptions to null. It is up to the developer to provide a UI option for end users to enable zooming on the slider.

Setting the zoomOptions is useful when the slider is tied to heavily skewed datasets where the histogram renders only one or two bars because of outliers.

slider-not-zoomed

You can remove the influence of outliers by zooming the slider and regenerating a histogram based on the zoomed min and max. This will provide a better view of the data and make the slider more useful to the end user.

Examples
// zooms the slider to so thumbs can only be moved
// to positions between the values of 10 and 25 while
// maintaining the slider's absolute minimum and
// maximum values
slider.zoomOptions = {
min: 10,
max: 25
};
// disables zooming on the slider
slider.zoomOptions = null;
// zooms the slider to so thumbs can only be moved
// to positions above the value of 10, while maintaining
// the slider's absolute minimum value
slider.zoomOptions = {
min: 10
};
// zooms the slider to so thumbs can only be moved
// to positions below the value of 25, while maintaining
// the slider's absolute maximum value
slider.zoomOptions = {
max: 25
};
// zooms the slider to the handle positions
// with some padding
document.getElementById("zoomInButton").onclick = function() {
const lowerThumb = slider.values[0];
const upperThumb = slider.values[1];
const range = upperThumb - lowerThumb;
const padding = range * 0.3;
const zoomMin = (lowerThumb - padding) > slider.min ? (lowerThumb - padding) : slider.min;
const zoomMax = (upperThumb + padding) < slider.max ? (upperThumb + padding) : slider.max;
slider.set({ zoomOptions: { min: zoomMin, max: zoomMax } });
};
