Set the map view to a new viewpoint.
Use case
Programatically navigate to a specified location in the map or scene. Use this to focus on a particular point or area of interest.
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
Map
object and set it to theMapView
object. - Change the map's
Viewpoint
using one of the available methods:
- Use
MapView::setViewpointAnimated(viewPoint, duration, AnimationCurve)
to pan to a viewpoint over the specified length of time. - Use
MapView::setViewpointCenter()
to center the viewpoint on aPoint
and set a distance from the ground using a scale. - Use
MapView::setViewpointGeometry()
to set the viewpoint to a givenGeometry
.
Relevant API
- AnimationCurve
- Map
- Geometry
- MapView
- Point
- Viewpoint
Additional information
Below are some other ways to set a viewpoint:
- setViewpoint
- setViewpointCenter
- setViewpointGeometry
- setViewpointRotation
- setViewpointScale
