SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Raster imagery workflows in the ArcGIS Maps SDK are verbose and error-prone. This skill provides ready-to-use patterns for ImageryLayer, ImageryTileLayer, multidimensional data, pixel filtering, and raster analysis to streamline visualization and analysis tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ImageryLayer & ImageryTileLayer: quick setup of server-backed raster layers for map display and popup templates.
  • Multidimensional Data: configure dimensional definitions and mosaic rules to explore depth and time.
  • Pixel Filtering & Rendering: implement custom pixel processing, raster functions, color ramps, and rendering rules for analytics and visualization.
  • Export & Statistics: access layer stats and export imagery for reporting.
  • Identify & Interaction: query pixel values and interact with imagery data to retrieve metadata.

Quick Start

Create an ImageryLayer for a raster service, add it to the map, and apply a simple visualization to begin analyzing raster data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an ArcGIS ImageryLayer for raster visualization in the Maps SDK?

To set up an ArcGIS ImageryLayer, instantiate the layer with a raster service URL, configure popup templates, and add it to your map. This streamlines server-backed raster visualization and pixel querying workflows within the ArcGIS Maps SDK.

What is multidimensional raster data and how do I configure it in ArcGIS?

Multidimensional raster data organizes imagery across variables like depth and time. You configure it in ArcGIS by defining dimensional definitions and mosaic rules to explore temporal and vertical raster slices effectively.

Can I apply custom pixel filtering and rendering rules to raster data?

Yes, you can apply custom pixel filtering and rendering rules to raster data. This involves implementing raster functions, color ramps, and pixel processing to perform advanced analytics and generate custom visualizations.

How do I query pixel values and retrieve metadata from an ImageryLayer?

You query pixel values from an ImageryLayer by using the identify and interaction workflows. This allows you to retrieve specific pixel metadata and underlying raster values directly from the map service.

What's the best way to export imagery and calculate raster statistics?

The best way to export imagery and calculate raster statistics is by using the built-in layer statistics and export workflows. This provides ready-to-use reporting outputs from your ImageryLayer without verbose custom code.

Does the ArcGIS Maps SDK support ImageryTileLayer workflows for raster analysis?

Yes, the ArcGIS Maps SDK supports ImageryTileLayer workflows. You can quickly set up tiled raster layers for map display, apply rendering rules, and manage bands for standard GIS visualization and querying tasks.
