The parent to which the layer belongs.
persistenceEnabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 ElevationLayer since 4.0, persistenceEnabled added at 4.28.
The portal item from which the layer is loaded. If the portal item references a feature or scene service, then you can specify a single layer to load with the layerId property.
Examples
// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
portalItem: { // autocasts as new PortalItem()
id: "caa9bd9da1f4487cb4989824053bb847"
} // the first layer in the service is returned
});
// Set hostname when using an on-premise portal (default is ArcGIS Online)
// esriConfig.portalUrl = "http://myHostName.esri.com/arcgis";
// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for SceneLayers.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
portalItem: { // autocasts as new PortalItem()
id: "8d26f04f31f642b6828b7023b84c2188"
},
// loads the third item in the given feature service
layerId: 2
});
// Initialize GeoJSONLayer by referencing a portalItem id pointing to geojson file.
const layer = new GeoJSONLayer({
portalItem: new PortalItem({
id: "81e769cd7031482797e1b0768f23c7e1",
// optionally define the portal, of the item.
// if not specified, the default portal defined is used.
// see https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-config.html#portalUrl
portal: new Portal({
url: "https://jsapi.maps.arcgis.com/"
})
}
});
// This snippet loads a table hosted in ArcGIS Online.
const table = new FeatureLayer({
portalItem: { // autocasts as esri/portal/PortalItem
id: "123f4410054b43d7a0bacc1533ceb8dc"
}
});
// Before adding the table to the map, it must first be loaded and confirm it is the right type.
table.load().then(() => {
if (table.isTable) {
map.tables.add(table);
}
});
// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
portalItem: { // autocasts as esri/portal/PortalItem
id: "caa9bd9da1f4487cb4989824053bb847",
// Set an API key to access a secure portal item configured with API key authentication.
apiKey: "APIKEY"
}
});
sourceJSON Object
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.13 ElevationLayer since 4.0, sourceJSON added at 4.13.
The image service's metadata JSON exposed by the ArcGIS REST API. While most commonly used properties are exposed on the ElevationLayer class directly, this property gives access to all information returned by the elevation image service. This property is useful if working in an application built using an older version of the API which requires access to elevation image service properties from a more recent version.
The spatial reference of the layer as defined by the service.
Contains information about the tiling scheme for the layer.
The title of the layer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList widget.
When loading a layer by service url, the title is derived from the service name. When the layer is loaded from a portal item, the title of the portal item will be used instead. Finally, if a layer is loaded as part of a webmap or a webscene, then the title of the layer as stored in the webmap/webscene will be used.
Inherited
Property uid Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33 Layer since 4.0, uid added at 4.33.
An automatically generated unique identifier assigned to the instance. The unique id is generated each time the application is loaded.
URL pointing to the Elevation layer resource on an ArcGIS Image Server.
Example
url: "http://elevation3d.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldElevation3D/Terrain3D/ImageServer"
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 Layer since 4.0, visibilityTimeExtent added at 4.30.
Specifies a fixed time extent during which a layer should be visible. This property can be used to configure a layer that does not have time values stored in an attribute field to work with time. Once configured, the TimeSlider widget will display the layer within the set time extent. In the case that only one of the start or end date values are available, the layer remains visible indefinitely in the direction where there is no time value.
Aerial imagery can capture seasonal variations in vegetation, water bodies, and land use patterns. For example, in agricultural regions, aerial imageries taken during different growing seasons provide insights into crop health and productivity. Defining a fixed time extent on imageries from specific time periods provides temporal context and facilitates focused analysis based on specific time periods or events.
Inherited
Property visible Boolean
Indicates if the layer is visible in the View. When false
, the layer may still be added to a Map instance that is referenced in a view, but its features will not be visible in the view.
Example
// The layer is no longer visible in the view
layer.visible = false;
// Watch for changes in the layer's visibility
// and set the visibility of another layer when it changes
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => layer.visible,
(visible) => {
if (visible) {
anotherLayer.visible = true;
} else {
anotherLayer.visible = false;
}
}
);

Method DetailsInherited
Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.
// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
() => !view.updating,
() => {
wkidSelect.disabled = false;
},
{ once: true }
);
this.addHandles(handle);
// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *
optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
Inherited
Method cancelLoad()
Cancels a load() operation if it is already in progress.
createElevationSampler(extent, options){Promise<ElevationSampler>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 ElevationLayer since 4.0, createElevationSampler added at 4.7.
Creates an elevation sampler for the given Extent by querying the service layer for elevation data and caching it so values may be sampled quickly afterwards. The resolution of the cached data can be set using the demResolution
option. In many cases, auto
demResolution can be used to get high quality elevation samples without the need to know exactly where the data in the service is located. This is particularly useful for services which combine elevation data from many sources (such as the world elevation service). If more control, or higher quality samples are required, use either finest-contiguous
or a fixed {number}
resolution.
Parameters
Specification
The extent for which to create the sampler.
optionalAdditional query options. See the table below.
Specification
optionalDefault Value: auto
Controls the horizontal resolution (cell size) in meters from which elevation data is sampled (defaults to auto
). See queryElevation() for more details.
Default Value: 0
The value to use when there is no data available.

to stop being interested into a Loadable
instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.
Parameters
optionalAdditional options.
Specification

Returns
Type Description Object Returns an event handler with aremove()
method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s). Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event.
Example
view.on("click", function(event){
// event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
console.log(event.mapPoint);
});
Queries the service layer for elevation values for the given geometry. The returned result contains a copy of the geometry with z-values sampled from elevation data from the service. The resolution from which the elevation is queried can be set using the demResolution
option. In many cases, auto
demResolution can be used to get high quality elevation samples without the need to know exactly where the data in the service is located. This is particularly useful for services which combine elevation data from many sources (such as the world elevation service). If more control, or higher quality samples are required, use either finest-contiguous
or a fixed {number}
resolution.
Parameters
Specification
geometry Point|Multipoint|PolylineThe geometry to use for sampling elevation data.
options Object optionalAdditional query options. See the table below.
Specification
demResolution Number|String optionalDefault Value: auto
Controls the horizontal resolution (cell size) in meters from which elevation data is sampled (defaults to auto
). See the table below for more details on the different settings.
auto
Automatically chooses an appropriate resolution for each coordinate of the input geometry. The current implementation will try to use the finest available resolution given that the total required number of tile requests does not exceed a certain maximum amount (currently 20). Note that this may result in values being sampled from different resolutions. finest-contiguous
Sample elevation from the finest available resolution (cell size) across the entire geometry. {number}
Sample elevation from the resolution closest to the specified resolution (in meters). returnSampleInfo Boolean optional
Default Value: false
Indicates whether to return additional sample information for each coordinate.
noDataValue Number optionalDefault Value: 0
The value to use when there is no data available.
signal AbortSignal|null|undefined optionalAn AbortSignal to abort the request. If canceled, the promise will be rejected with an error named AbortError
. See also AbortController.
Returns
Type Description Promise<ElevationQueryResult> Resolves to an object with the sampled geometry, resolution information, and no data value.Example
