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 mouseClicked signal on the MapView.
  4. Identify the graphic on the map view with identifyGraphicsOverlay(graphicsOverlay, mouse.x, mouse.y, tolerance, returnPopupsOnly, max results).
