DimensionalDefinition

require(["esri/layers/support/DimensionalDefinition"], function(DimensionalDefinition) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/layers/support/DimensionalDefinition
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

A dimensional definition defines a filter based on one variable and one dimension. You can filter with one or multiple dimensional slices. Instances of this class are typically used when filtering data based on slices or ranges in one or more dimensions with MosaicRule.

For example, a single ImageryLayer may have a depth dimension storing sea temperatures for the same pixel location at various depths. Another dimension could be time, where the same pixel stores multiple values based on a window of time.

The sample in the image below renders sea temperature at the surface for a specific time in the year.

dimInfo.push(new DimensionalDefinition({
  variableName: "water_temp",
  dimensionName: "StdZ", // water depth
  values: [0], // sea surface or 0ft
  isSlice: true
}));

layers-imagery-dd-0

In contrast, the following image renders sea temperature data from the same service at 5000 meters below the surface within the same time window.

dimInfo.push(new DimensionalDefinition({
  variableName: "water_temp",
  dimensionName: "StdZ", // water depth
  values: [-5000], // 5000 m below
  isSlice: true
}));

See the hasMultidimensions property of the ImageryLayer to check if the layer stores data for one or more variables in multiple dimensions. If it does, then the multidimensionalInfo property of the layer will contain the dimension names and values that may be used in the filters.

Example:
// display the pixels containing salinity values between -10 and 10
var dimDef = new DimensionalDefinition({
  variableName: "Salinity",
  dimensionName: "StdZ",
  values: [-10,10],
  isSlice: false
});
