Represents a dynamic image service resource as a layer. An ImageryLayer retrieves and displays data from dynamic image services. An image service supports accessing the mosaicked image, its catalog, and the individual rasters in the catalog. An image service supports dynamic access and tiled access. Dynamic access provides more functionalities, and tiled access provides faster and more scalable access to precooked tiles.

If the image service is requested from a different domain, a CORS enabled server or a proxy is required.

Esri requires that when you use an ArcGIS Online basemap in your app, the map must include Esri attribution and you must be licensed to use the content. For detailed guidelines on working with attribution, please visit the official attribution in your app documentation. For information on terms of use, see the Terms of Use FAQ.

ImageryLayer rendering

ImageryLayer can be rendered on the server or on the client. This section talks about different approaches you can take when rendering an ImageryLayer in your application.

Applying rasterFunction

Image service supports dynamic processing which can be applied through the layer's rasterFunction property. A raster function defines how the requested image should be processed or rendered. You can process images using raster functions published with the image service. You can also use well-known raster functions, such as the hillshade function for elevation data, the stretch function for multispectral data, and the colormap function for thematic data. When rasterFunction is applied to the layer, the network request is made to the server for the image to be processed.

Applying renderer

ImageryLayer supports various renderers. By default, an ImageryLayer uses server side rendering. ImageryLayer parses a renderer specified by a user and leverages a rasterFunction specified by the server or the user to achieve the expected rendering for the images. The server processes and renders the ImageryLayer and returns a ready-to-draw jpg or png image to the client.

When an ImageryLayer is created with lerc format, the client gets access to the raw data which can be used for client-side analysis and rendering. A default renderer that leverages available imagery information is applied to an ImageryLayer with lerc format if the pixelFilter function is not specified. The user can change this default renderer on the client-side by applying a renderer or pixelFilter. The pixelFilter is a good alternative if the existing renderers do not meet your requirements. If both renderer and pixelFilter are applied to the layer then the pixelFilter will take priority and its logic will be applied.

Applying pixelFilter

The pixelFilter can be used to colorize raw image pixels when ImageryLayer's format is set to lerc. It is a function that processes the pixelData. The pixelData object contains a pixelBlock property that gives you access to all of the pixels in the raster on the client. Inside the pixelFilter you may loop through all the pixels and process them. This function is a useful alternative if the existing renderers do not meet your requirements, because it gives you control over how to color image pixels. If both a renderer and pixelFilter are applied to the layer then the pixelFilter will take priority and its logic will be applied.

Working with multidimensional raster data

Multidimensional data is commonly used in the scientific community to store atmospheric, oceanographic, and earth science data. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction are all examples of the data that can be stored as variables in a multidimensional array. As illustrated in the graphic below, multidimensional data can show sea temperature (variable) for a specific area at multiple time and depth dimensions. This information is stored as slices, where the service has a slice for each unique combination of dimension values and variable names.

ImageryLayer's multidimensional data information can be accessed through the layer's multidimensionalInfo property. This information can then be used for analysis and visualization. For example, in the following snippet, the time dimension values associated with the wind_magdir variable are read from the layer's multidimensionalInfo property once the layer is loaded. Then time values are used to configure the TimeSlider widget to animate the wind speed and direction data over time.

view.whenLayerView(layer).then(() => {
  // get all time dimension values from the service, create an array of dates
  const windEpochDates = layer.multidimensionalInfo.variables[0].dimensions[0].values;
  const windDates = windEpochDates.map((item) => new Date(item));

  // time slider widget initialization
  // users can visualize daily wind information for all the time dimension available
  const timeSlider = new TimeSlider({
    mode: "instant",
    view: view,
    fullTimeExtent: {
      start: new Date(windDates[0]), // Jan 1, 2011,
      end: new Date(windDates[windDates.length - 1]) // Dec 31, 2011
    },
    // set the stops to match the dates coming from time dimension
    stops: {
      dates: windDates
    }
  });
});

To display the data based on a specified slice of a variable and dimensions, set the layer's mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition property to an array of desired dimensional definitions. For example, the following snippet shows how to update the layer's mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition to display the data based on a given StdZ (depth) value in response to a slider thumb change event.

depthSlider.on(["thumb-change", "thumb-drag"], (delta) => updateRenderer("StdZ", value));
const updateRenderer = promiseUtils.debounce(function (dimensionName, sliderData) {
  // set the depth or StdZ dimension of the layer corresponding to the slider's thumb location
  const multidimensionalDefinition = layer.mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition;
  const depthDef = multidimensionalDefinition.find((def) => def.dimensionName === "StdZ");
  if (dimensionName === "StdZ") {
    if (depthDef.values[0] === sliderData.value) {
      return;
    }
    depthDef.values[0] = sliderData.value;
  }
  layer.mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition = multidimensionalDefinition;
});

The multidimensionalSubset can be set on a layer to expose only a subset of multidimensional data that satisfies the requirements. For example, if you have one year of wind speed and direction data collected daily, but only want to expose a subset of the data for every day of October, then you can set the multidimensionalSubset property on the layer as shown in the code snippet below.

// Wind speed and direction info for every day of Oct will be available on the layer.
// Users will not be able to access data that falls outside of Oct.
// Only the data intersects the extent will be available to users.
const multidimensionalSubset = new MultidimensionalSubset({
  // extent covering california
  areaOfInterest: new Extent({
    xmax: -12195369.680716056,
    xmin: -14166833.514246799,
    ymax: 5336486.804891889,
    ymin: 3047044.933694898,
    spatialReference: {
      wkid: 102100
    }
  }),
  subsetDefinitions: [
    {
      variableName: "Vector-MagDir",
      dimensionName: "StdTime",
      values: [1412121600000, 1414713600000], // 10/1/14 - 10/31/14
      isSlice: false
    }
  ]
});
layer.multidimensionalSubset = multidimensionalSubset;

The following image illustrates when the multidimensionalDefinition and multidimensionalSubset properties are both set on the layer. Slices with the purple borders are slices included in the layer's multidimensionalSubset. The slice with the red border is the multidimensionalDefinition of the layer and what is visible on the map. The layer's multidimensionalDefinition must fall within the multidimensionalSubset, otherwise nothing will be displayed in the map.

blendMode Property blendMode String

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 ImageryLayer since 4.26, blendMode added at 4.16.

Blend modes are used to blend layers together to create an interesting effect in a layer, or even to produce what seems like a new layer. Unlike the method of using transparency which can result in a washed-out top layer, blend modes can create a variety of very vibrant and intriguing results by blending a layer with the layer(s) below it.

When blending layers, a top layer is a layer that has a blend mode applied. All layers underneath the top layer are background layers. The default blending mode is normal where the top layer is simply displayed over the background layer. While this default behavior is perfectly acceptable, the use of blend modes on layers open up a world of endless possibilities to generate creative maps.

The layers in a GroupLayer are blended together in isolation from the rest of the map.

In the following screenshots, the vintage shaded relief layer is displayed over a firefly world imagery layer. The color blend mode is applied to the vintage shaded relief and the result looks like a new layer.

The following factors will affect the blend result:

Blend mode Description normal The top layer is displayed over the background layer. The data of the top layer block the data of background layer where they overlap. average Takes the mathematical average of top and background layers. Result of average blend mode is often similar to the effect of setting the layer's opacity to 50%.

Lighten blend modes:

The following blend modes create lighter results than all layers. In lighten blend modes, pure black colors in the top layer become transparent allowing the background layer to show through. White in the top layer will stay unchanged. Any color that is lighter than pure black is going to lighten colors in the top layer to varying degrees all way to pure white.

Lighten blend modes can be useful when lightening dark colors of the top layer or removing black colors from the result. The plus, lighten and screen modes can be used to brighten layers that have faded or dark colors on a dark background.

Blend mode Description lighten Compares top and background layers and retains the lighter color. Colors in the top layer become transparent if they are darker than the overlapping colors in the background layer allowing the background layer to show through completely. Can be thought of as the opposite of darken blend mode. lighter Colors in top and background layers are multiplied by their alphas (layer opacity and layer's data opacity. Then the resulting colors are added together. All overlapping midrange colors are lightened in the top layer. The opacity of layer and layer's data will affect the blend result. plus Colors in top and background layers are added together. All overlapping midrange colors are lightened in the top layer. This mode is also known as add or linear-dodge. screen Multiplies inverted colors in top and background layers then inverts the colors again. The resulting colors will be lighter than the original color with less contrast. Screen can produce many different levels of brightening depending on the luminosity values of the top layer. Can be thought of as the opposite of the multiply mode. color-dodge Divides colors in background layer by the inverted top layer. This lightens the background layer depending on the value of the top layer. The brighter the top layer, the more its color affects the background layer. Decreases the contrast between top and background layers resulting in saturated mid-tones and blown highlights.

Darken blend modes:

The following blend modes create darker results than all layers. In darken blend modes, pure white in the top layer will become transparent allowing the background layer to show through. Black in the top layer will stay unchanged. Any color that is darker than pure white is going to darken a top layer to varying degrees all the way to pure black.

The multiply blend mode is often used to highlight shadows, show contrast, or accentuate an aspect of a map. For example, you can use multiply blend mode on a topographic map displayed over hillshade when you want to have your elevation show through the topographic layer. See the intro to layer blending sample.

The multiply and darken modes can be used to have dark labels of the basemap to show through top layers. See the darken blending sample.

The color-burn mode works well with colorful top and background layers since it increases saturation in mid-tones. It increases the contrast by tinting pixels in overlapping areas in top and bottom layers more towards the top layer color. Use this blend mode, when you want an effect with more contrast than multiply or darken.

The following screenshots show how the multiply blend mode used for creating a physical map of the world that shows both boundaries and elevation.

Blend mode Description darken Emphasizes the darkest parts of overlapping layers. Colors in the top layer become transparent if they are lighter than the overlapping colors in the background layer, allowing the background layer to show through completely. multiply Emphasizes the darkest parts of overlapping layers by multiplying colors of the top layer and the background layer. Midrange colors from top and background layers are mixed together more evenly. color-burn Intensifies the dark areas in all layers. It increases the contrast between top and background layers, by tinting colors in overlapping area towards the top color. To do this it inverts colors of the background layer, divides the result by colors of the top layer, then inverts the results.

Contrast blend modes:

The following blend modes create contrast by both lightening the lighter areas and darkening the darker areas in the top layer by using lightening or darkening blend modes to create the blend. The contrast blend modes will lighten the colors lighter than 50% gray ([128,128,128]), and darken the colors darker than 50% gray. 50% gray will be transparent in the top layer. Each mode can create a variety of results depending on the colors of top and background layers being blended together. The overlay blend mode makes its calculations based on the brightness of the colors in the background layer while all of the other contrast blend modes make their calculations based on the brightness of the top layer. Some of these modes are designed to simulate the effect of shining a light through the top layer, effectively projecting upon the layers beneath it.

Contrast blend modes can be used to increase the contrast and saturation to have more vibrant colors and give a punch to your layers. For example, you can duplicate a layer and set overlay blend mode on the top layer to increase the contrast and tones of your layer. You can also add a polygon layer with a white fill symbol over a dark imagery layer and apply soft-light blend mode to increase the brightness in the imagery layer.

The following screenshots show an effect of the overlay blend mode on a GraphicsLayer. The left image shows when the buffer graphics layer has the normal blend mode. As you can see, the gray color for the buffer polygon is blocking the intersecting census tracts. The right image shows when the overlay blend mode is applied to the buffer graphics layer. The overlay blend mode darkens or lightens the gray buffer polygon depending on the colors of the background layer while the census tracts layer is shining through. See this in action.

Blend mode Description overlay Uses a combination of multiply and screen modes to darken and lighten colors in the top layer with the background layer always shining through. The result is darker color values in the background layer intensify the top layer, while lighter colors in the background layer wash out overlapping areas in the top layer. soft-light Applies a half strength screen mode to lighter areas and half strength multiply mode to darken areas of the top layer. You can think of the soft-light as a softer version of the overlay mode. hard-light Multiplies or screens the colors, depending on colors of the top layer. The effect is similar to shining a harsh spotlight on the top layer. vivid-light Uses a combination of color-burn or color-dodge by increasing or decreasing the contrast, depending on colors in the top layer.

Component blend modes:

The following blend modes use primary color components, which are hue, saturation and luminosity to blend top and background layers. You can add a feature layer with a simple renderer over any layer and set hue, saturation, color or luminosity blend mode on this layer. With this technique, you create a brand new looking map.

The following screenshots show where the topo layer is blended with world hillshade layer with luminosity blend mode. The result is a drastically different looking map which preserves the brightness of the topo layer while adapting the hue and saturation of the hillshade layer.

Blend mode Description hue Creates an effect with the hue of the top layer and the luminosity and saturation of the background layer. saturation Creates an effect with the saturation of the top layer and the hue and luminosity of the background layer. 50% gray with no saturation in the background layer will not produce any change. luminosity Creates effect with the luminosity of the top layer and the hue and saturation of the background layer. Can be thought of as the opposite of color blend mode. color Creates an effect with the hue and saturation of the top layer and the luminosity of the background layer. Can be thought of as the opposite of luminosity blend mode.

Composite blend modes:

The following blend modes can be used to mask the contents of top, background or both layers.

The destination-in blend mode can be used to show areas of focus such as earthquakes, animal migration, or point-source pollution by revealing the underlying map, providing a bird's eye view of the phenomenon. Check out multiple blending and groupLayer blending samples to see composite blend modes in action.

The following screenshots show feature and imagery layers on the left side on their own in the order they are drawn in the view. The imagery layer that contains land cover classification rasters. The feature layer contains 2007 county crops data. The right image shows the result of layer blending where destination-in blendMode is set on the imagery layer. As you can see, the effect is very different from the original layers. The blended result shows areas of cultivated crops only (where both imagery and feature layers overlap).

Blend mode Description destination-over Destination/background layer covers the top layer. The top layer is drawn underneath the destination layer. You'll see the top layer peek through wherever the background layer is transparent or has no data. destination-atop Destination/background layer is drawn only where it overlaps the top layer. The top layer is drawn underneath the background layer. You'll see the top layer peek through wherever the background layer is transparent or has no data. destination-in Destination/background layer is drawn only where it overlaps with the top layer. Everything else is made transparent. destination-out Destination/background layer is drawn where it doesn't overlap the top layer. Everything else is made transparent. source-atop Source/top layer is drawn only where it overlaps the background layer. You will see the background layer peek through where the source layer is transparent or has no data. source-in Source/top layer is drawn only where it overlaps with the background layer. Everything else is made transparent. source-out Source/top layer is drawn where it doesn't overlap the background layer. Everything else is made transparent. xor Top and background layers are made transparent where they overlap. Both layers are drawn normal everywhere else.

Invert blend modes:

The following blend modes either invert or cancel out colors depending on colors of the background layer. These blend modes look for variations between top and background layers. For example, you can use difference or exclusion blend modes on two imagery layers of forest covers to visualize how forest covers changed from one year to another.

The invert blend mode can be used to turn any light basemap into a dark basemap to accommodate those who work in low-light conditions. The following screenshots show how setting the invert blend mode set on a feature layer with a simple renderer turns the world terrain basemap into a dark themed basemap in no time.

Blend mode Description difference Subtracts the darker of the overlapping colors from the lighter color. When two pixels with the same value are subtracted, the result is black. Blending with black produces no change. Blending with white inverts the colors. This blending mode is useful for aligning layers with similar content. exclusion Similar to the difference blend mode, except that the resulting image is lighter overall. Overlapping areas with lighter color values are lightened, while darker overlapping color values become transparent. minus Subtracts colors of the top layer from colors of the background layer making the blend result darker. In the case of negative values, black is displayed. invert Inverts the background colors wherever the top and background layers overlap. The invert blend mode inverts the layer similar to a photographic negative. reflect This blend mode creates effects as if you added shiny objects or areas of light in the layer. Black pixels in the background layer are ignored as if they were transparent.

This is done by applying the desired effect to the layer's effect property as a string or an array of objects to set scale dependent effects.

Notes

Known Limitations

Examples

// the following effect will be applied to the layer at all scales
// brightness will be applied first, then hue-rotate followed by contrast
// changing order of the effects will change the final result
layer.effect = "brightness(5) hue-rotate(270deg) contrast(200%)";
// set a scale dependent bloom effect on the layer
layer.effect = [
  {
    scale: 36978595,
    value: "drop-shadow(3px, 3px, 4px)"
  },
  {
    scale: 18489297,
    value: "drop-shadow(2px, 2px, 3px)"
  },
  {
    scale: 4622324,
    value: "drop-shadow(1px, 1px, 2px)"
  }
];
fields Property fields Field[]readonly

An array of fields in the layer. Each field represents an attribute that may contain a value for each raster in the layer.

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.21 ImageryLayer since 4.26, fieldsIndex added at 4.21.

A convenient property that can be used to make case-insensitive lookups for a field by name. This property is only available after the ImageryLayer has been loaded.

Example

// lookup a field by name, name is case-insensitive
const fieldsIndex = layer.fieldsIndex.get("OBjecTID");

// if there's a field by that name, print it to the console
if (fieldsIndex) {
  console.log("fieldsIndex: ", fieldsIndex);
}

The format of the exported image.

Possible Values:"png" |"png8" |"png24" |"png32" |"jpg" |"bmp" |"gif" |"jpgpng" |"lerc" |"tiff" |"bip" |"bsq"

The full extent of the layer. By default, this is worldwide. This property may be used to set the extent of the view to match a layer's extent so that its features appear to fill the view. See the sample snippet below.

Example

// Once the layer loads, set the view's extent to the layer's fullextent
layer.when(function(){
  view.extent = layer.fullExtent;
});

The Error object returned if an error occurred while loading.

loadStatus

Inherited

Property loadStatus Stringreadonly

Represents the status of a load operation.

Value Description not-loaded The object's resources have not loaded. loading The object's resources are currently loading. loaded The object's resources have loaded without errors. failed The object's resources failed to load. See loadError for more details.

Possible Values:"not-loaded" |"loading" |"failed" |"loaded"

Default Value:"not-loaded"

loadWarnings

Inherited

Property loadWarnings Object[]readonly

A list of warnings which occurred while loading.

loaded

Inherited

Property loaded Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether the layer's resources have loaded. When true, all the properties of the object can be accessed.

maxScale Property maxScale Number

The maximum scale (most zoomed in) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a maximum scale. The maxScale value should always be smaller than the minScale value, and greater than or equal to the service specification.

Examples

// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed in beyond a scale of 1:1,000
layer.maxScale = 1000;
// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a maximum scale.
layer.maxScale = 0;
minScale Property minScale Number

The minimum scale (most zoomed out) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a minimum scale. The minScale value should always be larger than the maxScale value, and lesser than or equal to the service specification.

Examples

// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed out beyond a scale of 1:3,000,000
layer.minScale = 3000000;
// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a minimum scale.
layer.minScale = 0;

Defines how overlapping images should be mosaicked.

The multidimensional information associated with the layer if the layer's hasMultidimensions property is true. If defined, multidimensional information contains data in multiple dimensions like time and depth/height, and contains multiple variables. Defining slices of particular dimensions in the layer is handled with the multidimensionalDefinition property of the mosaicRule.

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 ImageryLayer since 4.26, multidimensionalSubset added at 4.25.

Represents a multidimensional subset of raster data. This includes subsets of both variables and dimensions. When the multidimensionalSubset is defined on a layer, the mosaicRule.multidimensionalDefinition must be within the defined multidimensionalSubset, otherwise nothing will be displayed.

Example

// set a multi dimensional subset on the imagery layer
// so that users can only access sea temperature data in the atlantic ocean
// between April 7 - 18, 2014 and at depths between -500 - 0.
const multidimensionalSubset = new MultidimensionalSubset({
  // area over atlantic ocean
  areaOfInterest: new Extent({
    type: "extent",

  ],
});
layer.multidimensionalSubset = multidimensionalSubset;

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12 ImageryLayer since 4.26, noData added at 4.12.

The pixel value representing no available information. Can be a number (same value for all bands) or array (specific value for each band).

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12 ImageryLayer since 4.26, noDataInterpretation added at 4.12.

Interpretation of the noData setting.

Value Description any Pixel is transparent if any band matches noData value. all Pixel is transparent only if all bands match noData value.

Possible Values:"any" |"all"

objectIdField Property objectIdField Stringreadonly

The name of an oid field containing a unique value or identifier for each raster in the layer.

opacity

Inherited

Property opacity Number

The opacity of the layer. This value can range between 1 and 0, where 0 is 100 percent transparent and 1 is completely opaque.

Example

// Makes the layer 50% transparent
layer.opacity = 0.5;

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 Layer since 4.0, parent added at 4.27.

The parent to which the layer belongs.

persistenceEnabled Property persistenceEnabled Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 ImageryLayer since 4.26, persistenceEnabled added at 4.28.

Enable persistence of the layer in a WebMap or WebScene.

A function that processes pixelData. The pixelData object contains a pixelBlock property that gives you access to all of the pixels in the raster on the client.

Inside the pixelFilter you may loop through all the pixels found in the pixelBlock property of the pixelData object and process them. This function may be used to hide some pixels from the view, alter their values, and change their color. The pixelFilter should be used when the imagery layer's format is lerc or tiff as these formats return raw pixel data to the client.

Example

let layer = new ImageryLayer({
  url: // url to the image service
  pixelFilter: colorize  // see the colorize() function below
});

// This function is applied to the pixelFilter property of the layer.
// It takes the original value of each pixel and converts it to an RGB
// representation to color the layer on a blue - red ramp. Blue pixels
// represent low values and red pixels represent high values. View the sample
// referenced above to see how this function works

function colorize(pixelData) {
  // If there isn't pixelData, a pixelBlock, nor pixels, exit the function
  if (pixelData === null || pixelData.pixelBlock === null || pixelData.pixelBlock.pixels === null) {
    return;
  }

  // The pixelBlock stores the values of all pixels visible in the view
  let pixelBlock = pixelData.pixelBlock;

  // Get the min and max values of the data in the current view
  let minValue = pixelBlock.statistics[0].minValue;
  let maxValue = pixelBlock.statistics[0].maxValue;

  // The mask is an array that determines which pixels are visible to the client
  let mask = pixelBlock.mask;

  // The pixels visible in the view
  let pixels = pixelBlock.pixels;

  // The number of pixels in the pixelBlock
  let numPixels = pixelBlock.width * pixelBlock.height;

  // Calculate the factor by which to determine the red and blue
  // values in the colorized version of the layer
  let factor = 255.0 / (maxValue - minValue);

  // Get the pixels containing temperature values in the only band of the data
  let band1 = pixels[0];

  // Create empty arrays for each of the RGB bands to set on the pixelBlock
  let rBand = [];
  let gBand = [];
  let bBand = [];

  // Loop through all the pixels in the view
  for (i = 0; i < numPixels; i++) {
    // Get the pixel value recorded at the pixel location
    let tempValue = band1[i];
    // Calculate the red value based on the factor
    let red = (tempValue - minValue) * factor;

    // Sets a color between blue (lowest) and red (highest) in each band
    rBand[i] = red;
    gBand[i] = 0;
    bBand[i] = 255 - red;
  }

  // Set the new pixel values on the pixelBlock (now three bands)
  pixelData.pixelBlock.pixels = [rBand, gBand, bBand];
  pixelData.pixelBlock.pixelType = "u8"; // u8 is used for color
}

Raster source pixel type.

Value Range of values that each cell can contain unknown Pixel type is unknown s8 -128 to 127 s16 -32768 to 32767 s32 -2147483648 to 2147483647 u8 0 to 255 u16 0 to 65535 u32 0 to 4294967295 f32 -3.402823466e+38 to 3.402823466e+38 f64 0 to 18446744073709551616

Possible Values:"unknown" |"s8" |"s16" |"s32" |"u1" |"u2" |"u4" |"u8" |"u16" |"u32" |"f32" |"f64" |"c64" |"c128"

popupEnabled Property popupEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether to display popups when features in the layer are clicked.

The popup template for the layer. When set on the layer, the popupTemplate allows users to access attributes and display their values using text and/or charts in the view's popup when a pixel is clicked. See this sample for an example of how PopupTemplate interacts with an ImageryLayer.

A default popup template is automatically used if no popupTemplate has been defined when Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to true.

Example

// displays the temperature stored in the clicked pixel
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Sea Surface Temperature",
  content: "{Raster.ServicePixelValue}° Celsius"
}

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"
  }
});

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31 ImageryLayer since 4.26, presetRenderers added at 4.31.

A list of preset renderers that defines a preferred renderer for a given multidimensional variable, a given raster function template, or an additional generic predefined renderer.

rasterFields Property rasterFields Field[]readonly

A complete list of fields that consists of raster attribute table fields, item pixel value, service pixel value, service pixel value with various server defined function templates, and raster attribute table fields. This list is used for layer's popupTemplate.

It is essential in many imagery workflows to show pixel values and related categorical information (if applicable) in a popup. To meet this requirement, there're additional raster fields used in image service popups, representing pixel values and corresponding attributes if the service has additional rasterAttributeTable resource. These raster fields are prefixed with Raster. to indicate that they are special fields and avoid any potential conflict with fields from service info.

Pixel value fields

Below is a list of raster fields that return different types of pixel values and their descriptions.

Service pixel value

The Raster.ServicePixelValue field returns a pixel value at the identifying location, after dynamic mosaicking (if applicable) and processing is done using layer's current mosaicRule and rasterFunction settings. This field exists for all image services. The server side dynamic mosaicking process is only applicable if the service is published from a mosaic dataset.

Raw service pixel value

The Raster.ServicePixelValue.Raw field returns a pixel value at the identifying location, after dynamic mosaicking (if applicable) but without further processing. It uses layer's current mosaicRule and None raster function. This field only exists if the image service info has allowRasterFunction: true, and has a None entry in rasterFunctionInfos.

Service pixel value from server side raster functions

The Raster.ServicePixelValue.RFTNAME field returns a pixel value at the identifying location, after dynamic mosaicking (if applicable) and processing using any predefined sever side raster function. The list of available functions is defined by rasterFunctionInfos in image service root resource, except None function, which is already mapped as Raw Service Pixel Value. This field only exists if the image service info has allowRasterFunction: true.

Item pixel value

The Raster.ItemPixelValue field returns a pixel value representing pixel values of each of the individual images in the image service. This is only applicable to image services published from a mosaic dataset. It can be retrieved from the image service using either the identify or the getSamples method.

For example, for a service published from a mosaic dataset with the following raster functions:

rasterFunctionInfos": [
 { "name": "None", "description": "", "help": ""},
 { "name": "EVI", "description": "", "help": ""}],
 { "name": "VI", "description": "", "help": ""}
]

You can have the following additional raster fields: Raster.ServicePixelValue, Raster.ServicePixelValue.Raw, Raster.ServicePixelValue.EVI, Raster.ServicePixelValue.VI and Raster.ItemPixelValue.

Pixel value fields support formatting. Since an image service can have multiple bands, pixel value represents multiple bands, and shouldn't be assumed as a single number. This needs to be considered when formatting values.

Categorical attributes fields for pixel value

When working with categorical data (e.g. Land Cover data), image service info may have an associated rasterAttributeTable resource, indicated in root resource via the hasRasterAttributeTable flag. A raster attribute table always has a Value field, and each record in the table represents a pixel value mapping to associated categorical fields, such as the ClassName (Raster.ClassName), Count (Raster.Count) or color representation (Raster.Red, Raster.Green and Raster.Blue) fields of the value.

Vector fields

The Raster.Magnitude and Raster.Direction fields return magnitude and direction values from a multidimensional dataset with a vector field.

Example

layer.when(() => {
  // print out field names returned in layer.rasterFields
  layer.rasterFields.forEach((field) => {
    console.log(field.name);
  });
});

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 ImageryLayer since 4.26, rasterFunction added at 4.27.

Specifies the rule for how the requested image should be processed. When rasterFunction applied, the server returns an updated service information that reflects a custom processing as defined by the raster function.

Use helper functions from the rasterFunctionUtils module when creating raster functions that apply to ImageryLayers.

Examples

// apply NDVI and colormap raster function to an imagery layer
// use rasterFunctionUtils convenience methods to create raster functions
const ndvi = rasterFunctionUtils.bandArithmeticNDVI({
  nirBandId: 4,
  redBandId: 3,
  scientificOutput: false
});

 const colormap = rasterFunctionUtils.colormap({
  colorRampName: "NDVI3",
  raster: ndvi
});
layer.rasterFunction = colormap;
const stretchFunction = new RasterFunction({
functionName: "Stretch",
  functionArguments: {
    StretchType: 5, // (0 = None, 3 = StandardDeviation, 4 = Histogram Equalization, 5 = MinMax, 6 = PercentClip, 9 = Sigmoid)
    Min: 0,
    Max: 255,
    Raster: "$$" // $$(default) refers to the entire image service, $2 refers to the second image of the image service
  },
  outputPixelType: "u8"
});

const colorFunction = new RasterFunction({
  functionName: "Colormap",
  functionArguments: {
    ColorrampName: "Temperature", // other examples: "Slope", "Surface", "Blue Bright"....
    Raster: stretchFunction // chaining multiple raster functions
  }
});

const imageryLayer = new ImageryLayer({
  url:
    "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ScientificData/SeaTemperature/ImageServer"
});

imageryLayer.rasterFunction = colorFunction;

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 ImageryLayer since 4.26, rasterFunctionInfos added at 4.22.

Returns raster function information for the image services, including the name, description, help, function type, and a thumbnail of pre-configured raster function templates.

refreshInterval Property refreshInterval Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6 ImageryLayer since 4.26, refreshInterval added at 4.6.

Refresh interval of the layer in minutes. Value of 0 indicates no refresh.

Example

// the layer will be refreshed every minute.
layer.refreshInterval = 1;

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11 ImageryLayer since 4.26, renderer added at 4.11.

The renderer assigned to the layer. The renderer defines how to visualize pixels in the imagery layer. Depending on the renderer type, the pixels may be stretched across the color ramp, classified, have different symbols based on values, or show shaded reliefs.

If both renderer and pixelFilter is applied to an ImageryLayer then pixelFilter will override the renderer.

serviceRasterInfo Property serviceRasterInfo RasterInforeadonly

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12 ImageryLayer since 4.26, serviceRasterInfo added at 4.12.

Source raster information of the image service. The layer must be loaded before serviceRasterInfo can be accessed.

sourceJSON Property sourceJSON Object

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.13 ImageryLayer since 4.26, 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 ImageryLayer class directly, this property gives access to all information returned by the image service. This property is useful if working in an application built using an older version of the API which requires access to image service properties from a more recent version.

sourceType Property sourceType Stringreadonly

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 ImageryLayer since 4.26, sourceType added at 4.28.

Image service data source type.

Possible Values:"mosaic-dataset" |"raster-dataset"

The spatial reference of the image service.

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 ImageryLayer since 4.26, timeExtent added at 4.14.

The layer's time extent. When the layer's useViewTime is false, the layer instructs the view to show data from the layer based on this time extent. If the useViewTime is true, and both layer and view time extents are set, then features that fall within the intersection of the view and layer time extents will be displayed. For example, if the layer's time extent is set to display features between 1970 and 1975 and the view has a time extent set to 1972-1980, the effective time on the feature layer will be 1972-1975.

Examples

if (!layer.useViewTime) {
  if (layer.timeExtent) {
    console.log("Current timeExtent:", layer.timeExtent.start, " - ", layer.timeExtent.end}
  } else {
    console.log("The layer will display data within the view's timeExtent.");
    console.log("Current view.timeExtent:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end}
  }
}
// set the timeExtent on the layer and useViewTime false
// In this case, the layer will honor its timeExtent and ignore
// the view's timeExtent
const layer = new ImageryLayer({
  url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ScientificData/SeaTemperature/ImageServer",
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(2014, 4, 18),
    end: new Date(2014, 4, 19)
  },
  useViewTime: false
});
// timeExtent is set on the layer and the view
// In this case, the layer will display features that fall
// within the intersection of view and layer time extents
// features within Jan 1, 1976 - Jan 1, 1981 will be displayed
const view = new MapView({
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(1976, 0, 1),
    end: new Date(2002, 0, 1)
  }
});
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  url: myUrl,
  timeExtent: {
    start: new Date(1974, 0, 1),
    end: new Date(1981, 0, 1)
  }
});

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11 ImageryLayer since 4.26, timeInfo added at 4.11.

Example

// create geojson layer from usgs earthquakes geojson feed
const geojsonLayer = new GeoJSONLayer({
  url: "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_month.geojson",
  copyright: "USGS Earthquakes",
  fields: [
    { "name": "mag", "type": "double" },
    { "name": "place", "type": "string" },
    { "name": "time", "type": "date" }, // date field
    { "name": "depth", "type": "double" }
  ],
  // timeInfo can be used to do temporal queries
  // set the startField and endField.
  // timeExtent is automatically calculated from the
  // the start and end date fields
  // The date values must be in milliseconds number from the UNIX epoch specified in UTC.
  timeInfo: {
    startField: "time"
  }
});

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 ImageryLayer since 4.26, timeOffset added at 4.14.

A temporary offset of the time data based on a certain TimeInterval. This allows users to overlay features from two or more time-aware layers with different time extents. For example, if a layer has data recorded for the year 1970, an offset value of 2 years would temporarily shift the data to 1972. You can then overlay this data with data recorded in 1972. A time offset can be used for display purposes only. The query and selection are not affected by the offset.

Example

// Offset a CSV Layer containing hurricanes from 2015 so that they appear in 2019 (+4 years).
let layer = new CSVLayer({
  url: `hurricanes-and-storms-2015.csv`,
  timeOffset: {
    value: 4,
    unit: "years"
  },
  timeInfo: {
    startField: "ISO_time"
  },
  renderer: {
    type: "simple",
    symbol: {
      type: "simple-marker",
      size: 6,
      color: "red",
      outline: {
        width: 0.5,
        color: "black"
      }
    }
  }
});

The title of the layer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList widget.

If the layer is loaded from a portal item, the title of the portal item will be used. 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.

uid

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.

The URL to the REST endpoint of the layer. The URL may either point to a resource on ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online.

Example

// This url must point to an Image Service
let layer = new ImageryLayer({
  url: "http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/CharlotteLAS/ImageServer"
});
useViewTime Property useViewTime Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 ImageryLayer since 4.26, useViewTime added at 4.14.

Determines if the time enabled layer will update its temporal data based on the view's timeExtent. When false, the layer will display its temporal data based on the layer's timeExtent, regardless of changes to the view. If both view and layer time extents are set while this property is true, then the features that fall within the intersection of the view and layer time extents will be displayed. For example, if a layer's time extent is set to display features between 1970 and 1975 and the view has a time extent set to 1972-1980, the effective time on the feature layer will be 1972-1975.

Changing useViewTime to false does not affect layer's visibilityTimeExtent.

Example

if (featureLayer.useViewTime) {
  console.log("Displaying data between:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end);
}
version Property version Numberreadonly

The version of ArcGIS Server in which the image service is published.

Example

// Prints the version number to the console, e.g. 10.2, 10.3, 10.41
console.log(layer.version);

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.

visible

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;
    }
  }
);

when

Inherited

Method when(callback, errback){Promise}

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6 Layer since 4.0, when added at 4.6.

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters

optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns

Type Description Promise Returns a new promise for the result of callback that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});
