Identify graphics

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Display an alert message when a graphic is clicked.

Use case

A user may wish to select a graphic on a map to view relevant information about it.

How to use the sample

Select a graphic to identify it. You will see an alert message displayed.

How it works

  1. Create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the MapView.
  2. Add a Graphic along with a SimpleFillSymbol to the graphics overlay.
  3. Create a Point from the location clicked on the map view by the user from the MapQuickView::mouseClicked signal.
  4. Identify the graphic on the map view with identifyGraphicsOverlayAsync(GraphicsOverlay*, QPointF, double, bool, int).
