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

A slide stores a snapshot of several pre-set properties of the WebScene and SceneView, such as the basemap, viewpoint and visible layers. The visible layers may contain references (by Layer) to both operational layers from the scene as well as elevation layers from the ground, which affect the surface elevation.

Slides contain additional metadata such as a title, description and thumbnail which may be used to present the slide to the user in a user interface. Slides can be created, updated and applied to a SceneView. Additionally, slides can be stored as part of the WebScene.presentation.

Example:
// Create a slide from a view and apply it at a later time
Slide.createFrom(view).then(function(slide) {
  // Add slide to the scene presentation
  scene.presentation.slides.add(slide);
});

// At a later time
var firstSlide = scene.presentation.slides.getItemAt(0);

firstSlide.applyTo(view).then(function() {
  // Slide has been successfully applied to the view
});

Constructors

new Slide(properties)

Create a new slide instance. Usually Slide.createFrom is used instead to create a new slide which stores a snapshot of the view.

Ground properties for this slide.

Property:
opacity Number
optional

Ground opacity

The unique id of a slide within the slides property of a Presentation.

A data URI encoded thumbnail.

Property:
url String
optional
Autocasts from String|Object

The URI pointing to the thumbnail image representing the slide.

The title of the slide.

Property:
text String
optional
Autocasts from String|Object

The title.

The viewpoint of the slide. This acts like a bookmark, saving a predefined location or point of view from which to view the scene.

The visible layers of the scene. This is a collection of objects that stores references (by ID) to the scene layers and ground layers that are set as visible when a slide is applied to a SceneView.

When assigning visible layers, the following types of values will be automatically casted:

The specification for each object in the collection is outlined in the table below.

Property:
Autocasts from Object[]

The ID of a layer in the WebScene or Ground that is made visible in the SceneView when the slide is applied to the view.

Example:
// Update the visible layers to the second layer in the scene, and the
// first elevation layer in the ground.
slide.visibleLayers = [
  { id: scene.layers.getItemAt(1).id }
  { id: scene.ground.layers.getItemAt(0).id }
];

// Equivalent using convenience autocasting
slide.visibleLayers = [scene.layers.getItemAt(0), scene.ground.layers.getItemAt(0)];

Method Details

applyTo(view, options){Promise<Slide>}

Applies a slide's settings to a SceneView.

Parameters:

The SceneView the slide should be applied to.

options Object
optional

Animation options. See properties below for object specifications.

Specification:
animate Boolean
optional
Default Value: true

Indicates whether to animate the slide transition.

speedFactor Number
optional
Default Value: 1

Increases or decreases the animation speed by the specified factor. A speedFactor of 2 will make the animation twice as fast, while a speedFactor of 0.5 will make the animation half as fast. Setting the speed factor will automatically adapt the default maxDuration accordingly.

duration Number
optional

Set the exact duration (in milliseconds) of the animation. Note that by default, animation duration is calculated based on the time required to reach the target at a constant speed. Setting duration overrides the speedFactor option. Note that the resulting duration is still limited to the maxDuration.

maxDuration Number
optional
Default Value: 8000

The maximum allowed duration (in milliseconds) of the animation. The default maxDuration value takes the specified speedFactor into account.

optional

The easing function to use for the animation. This may either be a preset (named) function, or a user specified function. Supported named presets are: linear, in-cubic, out-cubic, in-out-cubic, in-expo, out-expo, in-out-expo
By default, animations that are less than 1000 ms use an out easing function; longer animations use an in-out function.

Returns:
TypeDescription
Promise<Slide>When resolved, returns the updated slide.
Examples:
// Applies the slide's settings to the view, but does
// not use animation when updating the viewpoint
slide.applyTo(view, {
  animate: false
});
// Applies the slide's settings to the view, animates with a maximum
// duration of 2 seconds.
slide.applyTo(view, {
  maxDuration: 2000
});
slide.applyTo(view, {
  maxDuration: 2000
}).then(function(){
 //do something after applying the slide's settings to the view
});
clone(){Slide}
