require(["esri/renderers/smartMapping/symbology/size"], function(sizeSchemes) { /* code goes here */ });
Object: esri/renderers/smartMapping/symbology/size
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.2

Method Details

cloneScheme(scheme){SizeScheme}

Clones a size scheme object.

Parameter:
scheme SizeScheme

The SizeScheme object to clone.

Returns:
TypeDescription
SizeSchemeReturns a clone of the given size scheme object.
Example:
// clones the primary scheme returned from the getSchemes() method
var sizeScheme = primaryScheme.clone();
getSchemes(params){SizeSchemes}

Returns a primary scheme and secondary schemes defining symbol properties for size-based data-driven visualizions in a FeatureLayer. The basemap parameter determines the color of the graphics used to visualize each feature. The geometryType determines which type of symbol to return.

Parameters:
params Object

See the table below for details of each parameter that may be passed to this function.

Specification:
basemap String|Basemap

The basemap to pair with the visualization. This value indicates the best symbol color for visualizing features against the given basemap.

geometryType String

The geometry type of the features to visualize.

Possible Values: point | multipoint | polyline | polygon

optional

The SceneView instance in which the scheme will be used. This property is only applicable when the scheme will be used in conjunction with 3D symbols.

worldScale Boolean
optional

Indicates if the size units of the scheme will be in meters. This should be true when the scheme is intended for 3D volumetric symbology. A view must be provided if this property is set to true.

Returns:
TypeDescription
SizeSchemesReturns an object containing the optimal size scheme to use for the given basemap and secondary schemes that may also be used.
Example:
// gets the primary scheme for the features of the given geometry type and basemap
var schemes = sizeSchemes.getSchemes({
  basemap: map.basemap,
  geometryType: featureLayer.geometryType
});

// the best default scheme for the layer and basemap
var primaryScheme = schemes.primaryScheme;
