ESM: import TextSymbol3DLayer from "@arcgis/core/symbols/TextSymbol3DLayer.js";
CDN: const TextSymbol3DLayer = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/symbols/TextSymbol3DLayer.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/symbols/TextSymbol3DLayer
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0
TextSymbol3DLayer is used to draw text labels for features of any geometry type. This is typically done by adding it to a LabelSymbol3D in a 3D SceneView. MapView does not support 3D symbols.
The color of the symbol is set in the material property. The size of the text is always defined in points or pixels via the size property.
A TextSymbol3DLayer may be added to the symbolLayers
property of any 3D symbol. Labeling the features of a FeatureLayer is usually done by adding a TextSymbol3DLayer to a LabelSymbol3D, which is then added to a LabelClass in the labelingInfo property of the layer. The image below depicts a FeatureLayer with labels defined by a LabelSymbol3D that contains a TextSymbol3DLayer.
Example
let labelClass = new LabelClass({
labelExpressionInfo: {
expression: "$feature.COUNTY" // Text for labels comes from COUNTY field
},
symbol: {
type: "label-3d", // autocasts as new LabelSymbol3D()
symbolLayers: [{
type: "text", // autocasts as new TextSymbol3DLayer()
material: { color: [ 49,163,84 ] },
size: 12 // points
}]
}
});
// Add labels to the feature layer
featureLayer.labelsVisible = true;
featureLayer.labelingInfo = [ labelClass ];

Property DetailsThe background of the text. The background can be used to define a background color for the text to improve readability by increasing contrast with the background. Setting a background will add additional padding to the text and display using rounded corners.
Example
symbolLayer.background = { color: [0, 0, 0, 0.75] };
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
The font of the text label.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.4 TextSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, halo added at 4.4.
The halo surrounding the text.
The color of the halo. This can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with r
, g
, b
, and a
properties, or a Color object.
The size of the halo in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px
).
Example
symbolLayer.halo = {
color: [255, 255, 255, 0.8], // autocasts as Color
size: 2
}
horizontalAlignment String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23 TextSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, horizontalAlignment added at 4.23.
Adjusts the horizontal alignment of the text in multi-lines.
Known Limitations
horizontalAlignment
for labels is inferred from the labelPlacement value.center
is supported.Possible Values:"left" |"right" |"center"
lineHeight Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23 TextSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, lineHeight added at 4.23.
The height of the space between each line of text. Only applies to multiline text.
This property can be considered as a multiplier of the default value of 1.0 (e.g. a value of 2.0 will be two times the height of the default height). The range of possible values is: 0.1 - 4.0. If a value of 0 is specified, the default value of 1.0 will be used.
The material used to color the text.
The color of the text. This can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with r
, g
, b
, and a
properties, or a Color object.
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 }
};
Size of the text label in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px
). When set, this property overrides the font.size property.
Examples
// size in points
symbolLayer.size = 14;
// size in pixels
symbolLayer.size = "20px"; // autocasts as number
// size in points
symbolLayer.size = "14pt"; // autocasts as number
The text to be displayed. To manually create a new line, use the \n
escape character.
Examples
symbolLayer.text = "You are here";
symbolLayer.text = "Wish you were \n here";
verticalAlignment String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23 TextSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, verticalAlignment added at 4.23.
Adjusts the vertical alignment of the text.
Known Limitations
verticalAlignment
for labels is inferred from the labelPlacement value.Possible Values:"baseline" |"top" |"middle" |"bottom"

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.
Creates a deep clone of the symbol layer.
Returns
Type Description TextSymbol3DLayer A deep clone of the object that invoked this method.Example
// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's first symbol layer
const symbolLayer = graphic.symbol.symbolLayers.at(0).clone();
Inherited
Method fromJSON(json){* |null |undefined}static
Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json
parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.
Returns
Type Description * | null | undefined Returns a new instance of this class.Inherited
Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Parameter
groupKey *
optionalA group key.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Returnstrue
if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}
Inherited
Method removeHandles(groupKey)
