LineSymbol3DLayer

require(["esri/symbols/LineSymbol3DLayer"], function(LineSymbol3DLayer) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/symbols/LineSymbol3DLayer
Inheritance: LineSymbol3DLayer Symbol3DLayer Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

LineSymbol3DLayer renders Polyline geometries using a flat 2D line with a LineSymbol3D in a 3D SceneView. MapView does not support 3D symbols.

The color of the line is set in the material property. The width of the line may be defined in either points or pixels with the size property. Line width and color can also be data-driven by adding size and/or color visual variables to any Renderer that uses this symbol layer.

A LineSymbol3DLayer must be added to the symbolLayers property of a LineSymbol3D. It may also be added to PolygonSymbol3D symbols to create outlines of polygon features. Multiple symbol layers may be used in a single symbol. The image below depicts a line FeatureLayer whose features are symbolized with a LineSymbol3D containing a LineSymbol3DLayer.

declaredClassStringreadonly

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

materialObject

The material used to shade the line. This property defines the line's color.

Property:
color Color
optional

The color of the line. This can be autocast with a named string, hex string, array of rgb or rgba values, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

Default value: white

Examples:
// CSS color string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "dodgerblue"
};
// HEX string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "#33cc33";
}
// array of RGBA values
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: [51, 204, 51, 0.3];
}
// object with rgba properties
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: {
    r: 51,
    g: 51,
    b: 204,
    a: 0.7
  }
};

The width of the line in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value: 0.75
Examples:
// width in points
symbolLayer.size = 4;
// width in pixels
symbolLayer.size = "2px";
// width in points
symbolLayer.size = "4pt";
