Summary

A camera represents an observer's location and their perspective of an ArcGISMap. It is used as a data loading point.

Constructors

ArcGISCamera(ArcGISPoint locationPoint, double heading, double pitch, double roll)

Creates a camera with the specified location, heading, pitch, and roll. The camera's spatial reference is derived from the locationPoint.

Since 1.0.0

Arguments
NameTypeSummary
locationPointArcGISPoint

A point geometry defining the 3D location at which to place the camera. If the point has a spatial reference, the camera will adopt it. Otherwise, a spatial reference of WGS84 is assumed. If the point's z value is below the Scene.baseSurface and the Surface.navigationConstraint is set to NavigationConstraint.stayAbove, the camera will be positioned at the Surface. Note that the default is NavigationConstraint.stayAbove.

headingdouble

The angle around the z-axis the camera is rotated. The angle is clockwise from north in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 360. 0 is looking North and 90 is looking East. Values are wrapped around so that they fall within 0 to 360.

pitchdouble

The angle around the y-axis the camera is rotated in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 180. 0 is looking straight down and 180 is looking straight up. A negative value defaults to 0 and a value greater than 180 defaults to 180. If the behavior of a negative pitch is required, then the corresponding transformation with positive pitch can be set instead. For example, if heading:0 pitch:-20 roll:0 is required then heading:180 pitch:20 roll:180 can be used instead.

rolldouble

The angle around the x-axis the camera is rotated in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 360. 0 is horizontal, 180 is upside down. Values are wrapped so that they fall within 0 to 360.

Location

ArcGISPoint Location

The point geometry containing the location and altitude of the camera.

Roll

double Roll

The roll of the camera.

The angle around the x-axis the camera is rotated in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 360. 0 is horizontal, 180 is upside down.

Methods

SignatureReturn TypeSummary

Elevate(double)

ArcGISCamera

Creates a copy of the camera with the specified change in altitude applied.

MoveTo(ArcGISPoint)

ArcGISCamera

Creates a copy of the camera with a new location.

RotateTo(double, double, double)

ArcGISCamera

Creates a copy of the camera with the specified heading, pitch and roll values.

Elevate

ArcGISCamera Elevate(double deltaAltitude)

Creates a copy of the camera with the specified change in altitude applied.

Since 1.0.0

Arguments
NameTypeSummary
deltaAltitudedouble

The altitude delta in meters to apply to the output camera.

Returns ArcGISCamera

A copy of the camera with an elevation delta adjusted by the parameter delta_altitude.

MoveTo

ArcGISCamera MoveTo(ArcGISPoint location)

Creates a copy of the camera with a new location.

Since 1.0.0

Arguments
NameTypeSummary
locationArcGISPoint

The location to move the output camera to. The returned camera is in the same spatial reference as the source camera. If the spatial reference of the point is not specified, it is assumed to be the spatial reference of the camera.

Returns ArcGISCamera

A copy of the camera with the location changed.

RotateTo

ArcGISCamera RotateTo(double heading, double pitch, double roll)

Creates a copy of the camera with the specified heading, pitch and roll values.

Since 1.0.0

Arguments
NameTypeSummary
headingdouble

The angle around the z-axis the new camera is rotated. The angle is clockwise from north in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 360. 0 is looking North and 90 is looking East. Values are wrapped around so that they fall within 0 to 360.

pitchdouble

The angle around the y-axis the camera is rotated in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 180. 0 is looking straight down and 180 is looking straight up. A negative value defaults to 0 and a value greater than 180 defaults to 180. If the behavior of a negative pitch is required, then the corresponding transformation with positive pitch can be set instead. For example, if heading:0 pitch:-20 roll:0 is required then heading:180 pitch:20 roll:180 can be used instead.

rolldouble

The angle around the x-axis the new camera is rotated in the East, North, Up (ENU) ground reference frame. The value is between 0 to 360. 0 is horizontal, 180 is upside down. Values are wrapped so that they fall within 0 to 360.

Returns ArcGISCamera

A copy of the camera with the position moved
