ArcGIS API for JavaScript ^3.29

Scale driven sizing for polygon markers and outlines

Easily define renderers that calculate symbol size based on attribute values as well as map scale. Applies to polygon markers and polygon outline width.

• The createSizeRenderer method supports the following values for its optimizeForScale parameter. For example, map-scale or true indicates that the size range is optimized only for the current map scale. Next, visible-scale-range indicates that the range is optimized for all scales in the layer's visible scale range.
• Added support for sizeInfo.stops. Each stop has value and size properties.
• Added support for sizeInfo.expression.
• Added support for sizeInfo.minSize and sizeInfo.maxSize to be an actual SizeInfo object itself.

BlendRenderer

A new BlendRenderer class was added. BlendRenderer allows you to easily identify a predominant attribute of a feature among two or more competing attributes. For example:

• What is the most predominant pet in an area? Dogs or cats?
• What is the most predominant type of household in a neighborhood? Owner-occupied or renter-occupied?

Each attribute is assigned a unique color. The value of the color's opacity is calculated based on the value of that attribute for a given feature. Meaning the higher the attribute value, the more dominant the attribute becomes.

Layer list widget

The LayerList widget allows users to turn layers on and off. NOTE: This is currently in beta.

Elevation profile widget

The Elevation profile widget allows users to view an elevation profile along a path. NOTE: This is currently in beta.

Support for OGC Web Feature Services

The Open Geospatial Consortium Web Feature Service Interface Standard (WFS) provides an interface allowing requests for geographical features across the web using platform-independent calls. For more information about the Web Feature Service, see the following Wikipedia article, and the OGC Web Feature Service home page. For more details, see the WFSLayer API Reference (beta at version 3.14) and the WFSLayer sample.

Extend Operations Dashboard

Developers and partners can write new widgets, map tools, and feature actions for Operations Dashboard using ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Administrators can add extensions to their organizations for publishers to use inside of their operation views.

DataReviewer

A new series of tasks that work to integrate data quality control features into your application. These tasks leverage ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server capabilities allowing you to implement:

• automated validation of data using rules authored in ArcMap
• data quality reporting that highlights issues in your data
• workflows that let you identify data errors using redlining and mark-up tools
• workflows that let you track and report errors through an iterative correction process

See the Working with DataReviewer help topic and the ArcGIS Resource Center to learn more about using ArcGIS Data Reviewer.

Directions widget changes

The 3.14 Directions widget has been migrated to use the Search widget. In order to feed a custom geocoder/feature services into this widget, use the new searchOptions property.

GeometryEngine changes

Prior to 3.14, the unit parameter in several GeometryEngine methods, such as buffer(), geodesicArea(), offset(), etc. required a number value from this list. While these numbers are still supported, all unit parameters in these methods can take string values (e.g. "miles", "meters", "square-feet", etc.) starting in version 3.14. This should make using and reading geometryEngine methods easier. See the documentation for more details.

Starting with 3.14, the input arrays for geometries and buffer values in GeometryEngine.buffer() and GeometryEngine.geodesicBuffer() do not have to be the same length. Refer to the documentation for additional details.

Image server related changes

• Two new methods added to RasterLayer, setImageFormat and setUseMapTime.
• PixelBlock class is no longer in beta.

New locales

• Version 3.14 adds support for Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) (language code "zh-tw"). Add the following line snippet to any code sample to see it in Traditional Chinese (Taiwan).

  <script> var dojoConfig = {locale: "zh-tw"}; </script>

• Version 3.14 adds support for Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) (language code "zh-hk"). Add the following line snippet to any code sample to see it in Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong).

  <script> var dojoConfig = {locale: "zh-hk"}; </script>
