The Print widget connects your application with a printing service to allow the map to be printed. It takes advantage of server-side, high-quality, full cartographic print functionality using the ExportWebMap service of ArcGIS, which can be configured with custom layout templates. One is provided that shows the map only, while another provides a layout with legend, etc. The Print widget works with the PrintTask which generates a printer-ready version of the map.
Known Limitations
There is no current support for printing SceneViews.
var print = new Print({
view: view
});
// Adds widget below other elements in the top left corner of the view
view.ui.add(print, {
position: "top-left"
});
Constructors
