mosaicRule

The image service uses a mosaic rule to mosaick multiple rasters on the fly. The mosaic rule parameter is used by many image service operations, for example, export image and identify operations.

Properties

Property	Details
ascending	Indicate whether to use ascending or descending order.
fids	A list that defines a subset of rasters used in the mosaic, be aware that the rasters may not be visible at all scales.
itemRenderingRule	The rendering rule applies on items before mosaicking.
lockRasterIds	Lock a few rasters in the image service. Used together with esriMosaicLockRaster.
mosaicMethod	A string value that determines how the selected rasters are ordered. Valid values: esriMosaicAttribute, esriMosaicCenter, esriMosaicLockRaster, esriMosaicNadir, esriMosaicNone, esriMosaicNorthwest, esriMosaicSeamline, esriMosaicViewpoint
mosaicOperation	Use the mosaic operation to resolve overlap pixel values: from first or last raster, use the min, max or mean of the pixel values, or blend them. Valid values: MT_BLEND, MT_FIRST, MT_LAST, MT_MAX, MT_MEAN, MT_MIN, MT_SUM
multidimensionalDefinition	An array of objects representing a slice from multidimensional data.
sortField	The field name used together with esriMosaicAttribute method.
sortValue	The base sort value used together with esriMosaicAttribute method and sortField parameter.
viewpoint	Use a view point along with esriMosaicViewpoint.
where	Deprecated. Use layerDefinition.definitionExpression instead.
