require(["esri/geometry/Point"], function(Point) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/geometry/Point
Inheritance: Point Geometry Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

A location defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates.

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.

Method Details

clone(){Point}

Creates a deep clone of Point object.

Returns:
TypeDescription
PointA new instance of a Point object equal to the object used to call .clone().
copy(other)

Copies all values from another Point instance.

Parameter:
other Point

The point to copy from.

distance(other){Number}

Computes the Euclidean distance between this Point and a given Point. Points must have the same spatial reference.

Parameter:
other Point

The point to compute the distance to.

Returns:
TypeDescription
NumberReturns the Euclidean distance between this Point and the other Point.
equals(point){Boolean}

Determines if the input point is equal to the point calling the function.

Parameter:
point Point

The input point to test.

Returns:
TypeDescription
BooleanReturns true if the X, Y, Z coordinates of the input point along with its spatial reference and M value are exactly equal to those of the point calling equals().
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:
TypeDescription
*Returns a new instance of this class.
normalize(){Point}

Modifies the point geometry in-place by shifting the X-coordinate to within +/- 180 span in map units. You should clone the point object before calling this method where appropriate.

Returns:
TypeDescription
PointReturns a point with a normalized x-value.
toJSON(){Object}inherited

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.
