How can I simply draw a line between two lat long coordinates values on a map using ESRI ArcGIS JS API?! This most basic task is taking a gruesome amount of effort.
I am able to draw a line with the below, but it's not reading my latitude and longitude coordinate values as such, instead it's taking the point to some arbitrary destination.
require([
"esri/Map",
"esri/views/MapView",
"esri/Graphic",
"esri/layers/GraphicsLayer"
], function(Map, MapView, Graphic, GraphicsLayer) {
var map = new Map({
basemap: "topo-vector"
});
var view = new MapView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: map,
center: [-118.80500,34.02700],
zoom: 13
});
var graphicsLayer = new GraphicsLayer();
map.add(graphicsLayer);
// Create a point
var point = {
type: "point",
longitude: -118.80657463861,
latitude: 34.0005930608889
};
var simpleMarkerSymbol = {
type: "simple-marker",
color: [226, 119, 40], // orange
outline: {
color: [255, 255, 255], // white
width: 1
}
};
var pointGraphic = new Graphic({
geometry: point,
symbol: simpleMarkerSymbol
});
graphicsLayer.add(pointGraphic);
// Create a line geometry
var simpleLineSymbol = {
type: "simple-line",
color: [226, 119, 40], // orange
width: 2
};
var polyline = {
type: "polyline",
paths: [
[35.9411934679851, -80.96135253906438],
[-118.808878330345, 34.0016642996246]
]
};
var polylineGraphic = new Graphic({
geometry: polyline,
symbol: simpleLineSymbol
})
graphicsLayer.add(polylineGraphic);
var polygonGraphic = new Graphic({
geometry: polygon,
symbol: simpleFillSymbol
});
graphicsLayer.add(polygonGraphic);
});
This block specifically, I simply just want to feed in two sets of lat and long coordinates values.... i.e. CoordinatesA
and CoordinatesB
(as the startpoint and endpoint, why is this so difficult)
var polyline = {
type: "polyline",
paths: [
[35.9411934679851, -80.96135253906438],
[-118.808878330345, 34.0016642996246]
]
};
