HeightModelInfo

require(["esri/geometry/HeightModelInfo"], function(HeightModelInfo) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/geometry/HeightModelInfo
Inheritance: HeightModelInfo Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.5

The height model info defines the characteristics of a vertical coordinate system. In a SceneView, the height model info of a WebScene is used to avoid rendering layers that have incompatible vertical coordinate systems. A height model info object is defined by a surface type, a vertical unit, and an optional datum realization.

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

heightModelString

The surface type or height model of the vertical coordinate system (VCS). A SceneView will only render layers containing data that is compatible with the HeightModelInfo of the scene.

ValueDescription
gravity-related-heightA gravity-related VCS may set its zero point through a local mean sea level or a benchmark, and is compatible with other gravity-related VCS for the purposes of rendering.
ellipsoidalAn ellipsoidal VCS defines heights that are referenced to an ellipsoid of a geographic coordinate system.
Default Value:"gravity-related-height"
heightUnitString

The unit of the vertical coordinate system. A SceneView will use this property to check that the vertical data of layers that define a HeightModelInfo is compatible with the view.

Possible Values: meters | feet | us-feet | clarke-feet | clarke-yards | clarke-links | sears-yards | sears-feet | sears-chains | benoit-1895-b-chains | indian-yards | indian-1937-yards | gold-coast-feet | sears-1922-truncated-chains | 50-kilometers | 150-kilometers

Default Value:"meters"
vertCRSString

The datum realization of the vertical coordinate system. A SceneView will only render layers that define a HeightModelInfo with an identical vertCRS to that of the scene, when using an ellipsoidal height model.

Method Details

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

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns:

toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for more information.

Returns:
TypeDescription
ObjectThe ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
