Property Overview

Property Details

cacheObjectreadonly

The cache is used to store values computed from geometries that need to cleared or recomputed upon mutation. An example is the extent of a polygon. The default value is null.

declaredClassStringreadonly

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

extentExtentreadonly

The extent of the geometry. For points, the extent is null.

hasMBoolean

Indicates if the geometry has M values.

hasZBoolean

Indicates if the geometry has Z (elevation) values.

Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.

pathsNumber[][][]

An array of paths, or line segments, that make up the polyline. Each path is a two-dimensional array of numbers representing the coordinates of each vertex in the path in the spatial reference of the view. Each vertex is represented as an array of two, three, or four numbers. The table below shows the various structures of a vertex array.

Case	Vertex array
without z and without m	[x, y]
without z and with m	[x, y, m]
with z and without m	[x, y, z]
with z and with m	[x, y, z, m]

Example:

// 2D polyline with to paths with m-values (note that the 2nd path does not have m-values defined)
var paths = [
 [  // first path
  [-97.06138,32.837,5],
  [-97.06133,32.836,6],
  [-97.06124,32.834,7]
 ], [  // second path
  [-97.06326,32.759],
  [-97.06298,32.755]
 ]
];

var line = new Polyline({
  hasZ: false,
  hasM: true,
  paths: paths,
  spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 }
});

spatialReferenceSpatialReference autocast

The spatial reference of the geometry.

Default Value: WGS84 (wkid: 4326)

typeStringreadonly

For Polyline, the type is always polyline.

Method Overview

Method Details

addPath(points){Polyline}

Adds a path, or line segment, to the polyline. When added, the index of the path is incremented by one.

Parameter:

points Number[][] An array of lon/lat coordinate pairs from which to construct the path.

Returns:

Type	Description
Polyline	Returns the polyline with the newly added path added to the geometry.

clone(){Polyline}

Creates a deep clone of Polyline object.

Returns:

Type	Description
Polyline	A new instance of a Polyline object equal to the object used to call .clone().

fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from a product in the ArcGIS platform. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter:

json Object A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns:

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

getPoint(pathIndex, pointIndex){Point}

Returns a point specified by a path and point in the path.

Parameters:

pathIndex Number The index of a path in the polyline.

pointIndex Number The index of a point in a path.

Returns:

Type	Description
Point	Returns the point along the Polyline located in the given path and point indeces.

insertPoint(pathIndex, pointIndex, point){Polyline}

Inserts a new point into a polyline.

Parameters:

pathIndex Number The index of the path in which to insert a point.

pointIndex Number The index of the inserted point in the path.

point Point Point geometry to insert into the path.

Returns:

Type	Description
Polyline	Returns the updated polyline.

removePath(index){Point[]}

Removes a path from the Polyline. The index specifies which path to remove.

Parameter:

index Number The index of the path to remove from the polyline.

Returns:

Type	Description
Point[]	Returns an array of points representing the removed path.

removePoint(pathIndex, pointIndex){Point}

Removes a point from the polyline at the given pointIndex within the path identified by the given pathIndex.

Parameters:

pathIndex Number The index of the path containing the point to be removed.

pointIndex Number The index of the point to be removed within the path.

Returns:

Type	Description
Point	Returns the removed point.

setPoint(pathIndex, pointIndex, point){Polyline}

Updates a point in a polyline.

Parameters:

pathIndex Number The index of the path that contains the point to be updated.

pointIndex Number The index of the point to be updated in the path.

point Point Point geometry to update in the path.

Returns:

Type	Description
Polyline	Returns the updated polyline.

toJSON(){Object}inherited

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS Portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for more information.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS Portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
