PathSymbol3DLayer

require(["esri/symbols/PathSymbol3DLayer"], function(PathSymbol3DLayer) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/symbols/PathSymbol3DLayer
Inheritance: PathSymbol3DLayer Symbol3DLayer Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

PathSymbol3DLayer renders Polyline geometries using a volumetric 3D tube with a LineSymbol3D in a SceneView. MapView does not support 3D symbols.

The color of the path is set in the material property. The diameter of the tube is always defined in meters using the size property. Tube diameter and color can also be data-driven by adding size and/or color visual variables to any Renderer that uses this symbol layer.

A PathSymbol3DLayer must be added to the symbolLayers property of a LineSymbol3D. Multiple symbol layers may be used in a single symbol. The image below depicts a FeatureLayer whose polyline features are visualized with a LineSymbol3D containing two LineSymbol3DLayers.

See Symbol3DLayer and Symbol3D to read more general information about 3D symbols, symbol layers and how they relate to one another.

Autocasting support

As of version 4.5 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, autocasting is universally supported for all renderers, symbols, and symbol layers in the API. So there is no need to include this module in the require() and define() module loaders of your application unless you intend to use the static method(s) of this module.

See also:
Example:
var symbol = {
  type: "line-3d",  // autocasts as new LineSymbol3D()
  symbolLayers: [{
    type: "path",  // autocasts as new PathSymbol3DLayer()
    size: 20,  // 20 meters in diameter
    material: { color: "#ff7380" }
  }]
};

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

The material used to shade the tube. This property defines the tube's color.

Property:
color Color
optional
Default Value:white
Autocasts from Object|Number[]|String

The color of the tube. This can be autocast with a named string, hex string, array of rgb or rgba values, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

Examples:
// CSS color string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "dodgerblue"
};
// HEX string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "#33cc33";
}
// array of RGBA values
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: [51, 204, 51, 0.3];
}
// object with rgba properties
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: {
    r: 51,
    g: 51,
    b: 204,
    a: 0.7
  }
};
sizeNumber

The diameter of the tube in meters.

Default Value:1
Example:
// diameter is 10 meters
var symbolLayer.size = 10;
typeStringreadonly

For PathSymbol3DLayer, the type is always path.

Method Details

Creates a deep clone of the symbol layer.

Returns:
TypeDescription
PathSymbol3DLayerA deep clone of the object that invoked this method.
Example:
// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's first symbol layer
var symLyr = graphic.symbol.symbolLayers.getItemAt(0).clone();
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.
toJSON(){Object}inherited
