    Detailed Description

    Examples of RasterFunctions include Hillshade, Stretch, Colormap, Mask, and ShadedRelief, among others.

    RasterFunctions in this API work very similarly to the ArcGIS REST API. The following workflow is a common way to render a raster using a raster function:

    1. Create a raster function via JSON. For example, the following JSON could be used for a Pansharpen function:
      {
        "raster_function":{"type":"Pansharpen_function"},
        "raster_function_arguments":
        {
          "weights":{"double_array":[0.10000000000000001,0.5,0.40000000000000002,0.29999999999999999],"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
          "pansharpen_type":{"pansharpen_type":"gram_schmidt","type":"Raster_function_variable"},
          "pan_raster":{"name":"pan_raster","is_raster":true,"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
          "raster":{"name":"raster","is_raster":true,"type":"Raster_function_variable"},
          "type":"Raster_function_arguments"
        },
        "type":"Raster_function_template"
      }

      For documentation on the this API's JSON format and syntax for the different raster functions, please see the Guide topic Add raster data.

    2. Construct a RasterFunction object with the JSON created in step 1.
    3. Get the RasterFunctionArguments with arguments.
    4. Add rasters to the RasterFunctionArguments.
    5. Create a new Raster object with this RasterFunction.
    6. Create a new RasterLayer with the Raster object.
    7. Add the RasterLayer to a map or scene.

    For further details on raster functions, please see the ArcGIS Desktop documentation

    Use an ImageServiceRaster as an argument for a raster function:

    // create raster function
    const rasterFunction = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("RasterFunction", {path: dataPath + "/hillshade_simplified.json"});
    // get the arguments
    const rasterFunctionArguments = rasterFunction.arguments;
    // set the raster
    rasterFunctionArguments.setRaster("raster", imageServiceRaster);
    
    // create the raster from the raster function
    const raster = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("Raster", { rasterFunction: rasterFunction });
    
    // create raster layer from raster
    const rasterLayer = ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.createObject("RasterLayer", { raster: raster });

    You can see the complete code in the QML sample Raster Function Service.
