Property Details

cacheObjectreadonly inherited

The cache is used to store values computed from geometries that need to cleared or recomputed upon mutation. An example is the extent of a polygon.

Autocasts from Object|Number[]

The center point of the circle. The center must be specified either as a Point or an array of longitude/latitude coordinates.

The centroid of the polygon. For a polygon with multiple rings, it represents the centroid of the largest ring.

declaredClassStringreadonly inherited
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

extentExtentreadonly inherited

The extent of the geometry. For a point, the extent is null.

geodesicBoolean

Applicable when the spatial reference of the center point is either set to Web Mercator (wkid: 3857) or geographic/geodesic (wkid: 4326). When either of those spatial references is used, set geodesic to true to minimize distortion. Other coordinate systems will not create geodesic circles.

Default Value:false

Indicates if the geometry has M values.

Indicates if the geometry has Z (elevation) values.

Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.

isSelfIntersectingBoolean inherited

Checks to see if polygon rings cross each other and indicates if the polygon is self-intersecting, which means the ring of the polygon crosses itself.

numberOfPointsNumber

This value defines the number of points along the curve of the circle.

Default Value:60
radiusNumber

The radius of the circle.

Default Value:1000
radiusUnitString

Unit of the radius.

Possible Values: feet | kilometers | meters | miles | nautical-miles | yards

Default Value:meters

An array of rings. Each ring is a two-dimensional array of numbers representing the coordinates of each vertex in the ring in the spatial reference of the view. The first vertex of each ring should always be the same as the last vertex. Each vertex is an array of two, three, or four numbers. The table below shows the various structures of a vertex array.

CaseVertex array
without z and without m[x, y]
without z and with m[x, y, m]
with z and without m[x, y, z]
with z and with m[x, y, z, m]
Example:
//3D polygon rings with m-values (note that the second ring does not have m-values defined for it)
const rings = [
 [  // first ring
  [-97.06138,32.837,35.1,4.8],
  [-97.06133,32.836,35.2,4.1],
  [-97.06124,32.834,35.3,4.2],
  [-97.06138,32.837,35.1,4.8]  // same as first vertex
 ], [  // second ring

 ]
];

const polygon = new Polygon({
  hasZ: true,

The spatial reference of the geometry.

Default Value:WGS84 (wkid: 4326)

Method Details

addRing(points){Polygon}inherited

Adds a ring to the Polygon. The ring can be one of the following: an array of numbers or an array of points. When added the index of the ring is incremented by one.

Parameter:

A polygon ring. The first and last coordinates/points in the ring must be the same. This can either be defined as an array of Point geometries or an array of XY coordinates.

Returns:
TypeDescription
PolygonReturns the polygon with the new ring included.
clone(){Circle}

Creates a deep clone of Circle.

Returns:
TypeDescription
CircleA new instance of a Circle object equal to the object used to call .clone().
contains(point){Boolean}inherited

Checks on the client if the input point is inside the polygon. A point on the polygon line is considered inside.

Parameter:
point Point

The point to test whether it is contained within the testing polygon.

Returns:
TypeDescription
BooleanReturns true if the point is located inside the polygon.
fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from a product in the ArcGIS platform. 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.

Parameter:
json Object
