SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill provides a comprehensive toolkit to visually compare map layers, measure distances and areas, identify features, and plan routes within ArcGIS Maps SDK apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Swipe comparison to reveal differences between layers
  • Measurement tools for distance and area in 2D/3D contexts
  • Identify operations to inspect features on click and display popups
  • Routing and directions support for optimal pathfinding

Quick Start

Load a map that includes the swipe component, measurement widgets, and routing to explore layer comparisons and measurement results.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add measurement and routing tools to an ArcGIS Maps SDK app?

To add measurement and routing tools to an ArcGIS Maps SDK app, use modular web components and standard JS modules that support distance, area calculations, and pathfinding across 2D and 3D views.

Can I compare map layers visually within an ArcGIS application?

You can compare map layers visually within an ArcGIS application by using a swipe component that reveals differences between overlapping layers interactively.

Does the ArcGIS measurement tool support both 2D and 3D views?

The ArcGIS measurement tool supports both 2D and 3D views, allowing you to calculate distances and areas within the same interactive mapping environment.

How do I identify features on a map and display popups in ArcGIS?

To identify features on a map and display popups in ArcGIS, use the identify operations component which inspects feature attributes directly on click.

What is the best way to implement layer comparison without writing custom widgets?

The best way to implement layer comparison without custom widgets is using unified modular web components for swipe operations that integrate directly into ArcGIS Maps SDK apps.

Are there limitations when using standard JS modules for map routing and directions?

Standard JS modules for map routing and directions provide optimal pathfinding support, but require a properly loaded map environment to function correctly across 2D and 3D contexts.
