ESM: import ShadowCast from "@arcgis/core/widgets/ShadowCast.js";
CDN: const ShadowCast = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/widgets/ShadowCast.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/widgets/ShadowCast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.21
The ShadowCast widget displays the cumulative shadows of 3D features in a SceneView. This type of analysis is helpful in urban development, where new projects have to satisfy certain shadow duration constraints.
The widget calculates the cumulative shadows for a time range during a single day. The user can configure the time range and select a calendar date. This time range and calendar date are only used for the shadow analysis and are not connected to the lighting in the scene. To control the lighting in the scene, the Daylight widget can be used. Changing the timezone in the widget updates the visualization by interpreting the time range as being in that timezone. This behavior is different than for the Daylight widget where selecting a timezone updates the scene date and time according to the camera position.
The widget provides three visualization modes.
In the threshold mode, only the areas that receive shadows for more than a certain amount of time are displayed. In the image below, on May 1, 2021 the red areas receive shadow for more than 4 hours within the time interval of 10AM to 4PM.
Total shadow duration mode displays the duration of the cumulative shadow using opacity: areas that don't receive any shadow are fully transparent and areas that receive a maximum amount of shadow have a default opacity of 0.7. The values in between are interpolated. Hovering over the view will display a tooltip showing the amount of time that location is in shadow, rounded to 15 minute intervals. In this mode, the visualization can display shadow cast in a continuous way or in 1 hour intervals.
Discrete shadows is a third visualization mode which displays individual shadows at a given time interval. For example, setting the time range to 10AM-11AM and the visualization time interval to 30 minutes will display shadows for 10AM, 10:30AM and 11:00AM.
The defaults for the time range and visualization settings can be changed using the ShadowCastViewModel.
Known Limitations
Terrain does not cast shadows and it is therefore not taken into account in this analysis.
The widget does not take into account the daylight savings. Use the timezone dropdown to adjust the offset from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and account for the daylight saving time.
The timezone is automatically detected by the widget based on the camera location. In some situations this might not be accurate. In case of an inaccurate timezone, users can set it manually using the timezone dropdown.
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.
Example
const shadowCast = new ShadowCast({
view: view
});
// Adds the shadow cast widget in
// the top right corner of the view
view.ui.add(shadowCast, "top-right");
Constructors
new ShadowCast(properties)
Parameter
optionalSee the properties for a list of all the properties that may be passed into the constructor.

Property DetailsThe ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use case when working with widgets.
Examples
// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: document.createElement("div")
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: basemapGalleryDiv
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// HTML markup
<body>
<div id="viewDiv"></div>
<div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>
</body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
headingLevel Number
Indicates the heading level to use for the titles "Time range" and "Visualization". By default, this message is rendered as level 4 headings (e.g. <h4>Time range</h4>
). Depending on the widget's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.
Example
shadowCast.headingLevel = 3;
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 ShadowCast since 4.21, icon added at 4.27.
Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).
Inherited
Property id String
The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.
The widget's default label.
The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the ShadowCastViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.
Inherited
Property visible Boolean
Indicates whether the widget is visible.
If false
, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the view UI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of "none"
.
Example
// Hides the widget in the view
widget.visible = false;
This property provides the ability to display or hide the individual elements of the widget.
Example
shadowCast.visibleElements = {
timeRangeSlider: true,
timezone: true,
datePicker: true,
visualizationOptions: true,
colorPicker: true,
tooltip: true
}

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

return (
<div class={classes(css.root, css.mixin, dynamicClasses)} />
);
}
