NavigationToggle

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

Provides two simple buttons for toggling the navigation mode of a SceneView. Note that this widget is designed only for 3D mouse interaction in a SceneView. It has no effect on touch navigation and it should not be used with 2D mouse interaction in a MapView.

navigation-toggle

The default navigation mode of the SceneView is always pan. The various mouse interations of this mode are outlined here. The alternate navigation mode to toggle to is rotate. This allows the user to rotate the view with a mouse drag and pan the view with a right-click and drag gesture.

You can use the view's DefaultUI to add widgets to the view's user interface via the ui property on the view. See the example below.

For information about gaining full control of widget styles, see the Styling topic.
