How to use the sample
The map view has several methods for setting its current viewpoint. Select a viewpoint from the UI to see the viewpoint changed using that method.
How it works
- Create a new
Mapobject and set it to theMapViewobject. - Change the map's
Viewpointusing one of the available methods:
- Use
MapView.SetViewpointAsync()to pan to a viewpoint. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointCenterAsync()to center the viewpoint on aPoint. - Use
MyMapView.SetViewpointScaleAsync()to set a distance from the ground using a scale. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointGeometryAsync()to set the viewpoint to a givenGeometry.
