A PointCloudRenderer allows you to specify how points in a PointCloudLayer are rendered. Because PointCloudLayers are designed to render millions of points, the point cloud renderers are much simpler than other Renderer classes.

---|---|---|---|
Object | Reduces the brightness of the point's color, based on the value of another field, usually | more details | |

Property Details
colorModulationObject
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.4Reduces the brightness of the point's color, based on the value of another field, usually
intensity
. High values leave the color unchanged, while low values darken the color of the point. This helps to display the scanned surface in a more realistic way.- See also:
Properties:field StringField to use for the color modulation. Commonly modulation is used with the
intensity
field.minValue NumberField value at which the point color becomes darkest.
Default value: 0.
maxValue NumberField value at which the point color will be left unchanged.
Default value: 255.
declaredClassStringreadonly
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className
.pointSizeAlgorithmObject
Specifies how the size of the points in the point cloud is computed for rendering.
The splat algorithm automatically computes a size based on the density, which varies with the Level of Detail that is currently displayed.
The fixed size algorithm displays all points with the same size, either in screenspace or real world units.
When
pointSizeAlgorithm
is not set, the default is"splat"

) or points. Applies to"fixed-size"
only.optionalscaleFactor NumberSpecifies the scale factor that is applied to the size estimated by the density. Applies to

only. Default value: 1.optionalminSize NumberMinimum screen space size in points. Applies to
"splat"
only. Default value: 4.pointsPerInchNumber
The number of points to draw per display inch. This property determines the level of detail in the visualization.
Default Value: 10

Method Details
clone(){PointCloudRenderer}
Creates a deep clone of the renderer.
Returns:Type Description PointCloudRenderer A deep clone of the object that invoked this method. 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 ObjectA 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. toJSON(){Object}
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.
