esri/widgets/Print
The Print widget connects your application with a printing service to allow the map to be printed. It takes advantage of server-side, high-quality, full cartographic print functionality using the ExportWebMap service of ArcGIS, which can be configured with custom layout templates. One is provided that shows the map only, while another provides a layout with legend, etc. The Print widget works with the PrintTask which generates a printer-ready version of the map.
Known Limitations
- There is no current support for printing SceneViews. Instead, see SceneView.takeScreenshot().
- VectorTileLayer printing requires ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or later.
- For printing secure VectorTileLayers with ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or 10.6.0, or for printing VectorTileLayers with ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or any Printing Service published with ArcMap, the PrintTask will create a client-side image for the VectorTileLayer to use in the printout. This has some limitations related to large size printing quality and a dependency on browser window height/width ratio.
- Labels currently cannot be printed as part of a FeatureLayer with ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or any Printing Service published with ArcMap.
- The print server does not directly print SVG symbols. Rather, they are converted to PictureMarkerSymbols for display.
- Make certain that any resources to be printed are accessible by the print server. For example, if printing a map containing PictureMarkerSymbols, the URL to these symbols must be accessible to the print server for it to work properly.

var print = new Print({
view: view
});
// Adds widget below other elements in the top left corner of the view
view.ui.add(print, {
position: "top-left"
});

Method Details
- Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7
A utility method used for building the value for a widget's
class
property. This aids in simplifying CSS class setup.Prior to version 4.7, there were various approaches towards setting CSS classes. These were dependent upon variables, such as whether the classes were:
- a single static class,
- multiple static classes, or
- dynamic classes.
This helper method takes all of these approaches into account and simplifies it to use one single pattern to accommodate these multiple approaches.
Parameter:repeatable The class names.
Returns:Type Description String The computed class name. Example:// .tsx syntax showing how to set CSS classes while rendering the widget render() { const dynamicIconClasses = { [CSS.myIcon]: this.showIcon, [CSS.greyIcon]: !this.showIcon }; return ( <div class={classes(CSS.root, CSS.mixin, dynamicIconClasses)} /> ); }
- destroy()inherited
Destroys the widget instance.
- emit(type, event)inheritedSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.5
Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.
Parameters:type StringThe name of the event.
event ObjectThe event payload.
Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.
Parameter:type StringThe name of the event.
Returns:Type Description Boolean Returns true if the class supports the input event.
Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.
Parameters:type StringThe name of event to listen for.
listener FunctionThe function to call when the event is fired.
Returns:Type Description Object Returns an event handler with a remove()
method that can be called to stop listening for the event.Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event. - See also:
Example:view.on("click", function(event){ // event is the event handle returned after the event fires. console.log(event.mapPoint); });
- own(handles)inherited
Widget teardown helper. Any handles added to it will be automatically removed when the widget is destroyed.
Parameter:handles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the widget is destroyed.
- postInitialize()inherited
This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. Executes after widget is ready for rendering.
This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. It must be implemented by subclasses for rendering.
Returns:Type Description Object The rendered virtual node.
- renderNow()inherited
Renders widget to the DOM immediately.
- scheduleRender()inherited
This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. Schedules widget rendering. This method is useful for changes affecting the UI.
