ImageryLayer
require(["esri/layers/ImageryLayer"], function(ImageryLayer) { /* code goes here */ });
esri/layers/ImageryLayer
Represents an image service resource as a layer. An ImageryLayer retrieves and displays data from image services. An image service supports accessing the mosaicked image, its catalog, and the individual rasters in the catalog. An image service supports dynamic access and tiled access. Dynamic access provides more functionalities, and tiled access provides faster and more scalable access to precooked tiles.
If the image service is requested from a different domain, a CORS enabled server or a proxy is required.
Esri requires that when you use an ArcGIS Online basemap in your app, the map must include Esri attribution and you must be licensed to use the content. For detailed guidelines on working with attribution, please visit the official attribution in your app documentation. For information on terms of use, see the Terms of Use FAQ.
ImageryLayer rendering
ImageryLayer can be rendered on the server or on the client. This section talks about different approaches you can take when rendering an ImageryLayer in your application.
Applying renderingRule
Image service supports dynamic processing which can be applied through the layer’s renderingRule property. A rendering rule defines how the requested image should be rendered or processed. You can process images using raster functions published with the image service. You can also use well-known raster functions, such as the hillshade function for elevation data, the stretch function for multispectral data, and the colormap function for thematic data. When renderingRule is applied to the layer, the network request is made to the server for the image to be processed.
Applying renderer
ImageryLayer supports various renderers. By default, an ImageryLayer uses server side rendering. ImageryLayer parses a renderer specified by a user and leverages a renderingRule specified by the server or the user to achieve the expected rendering for the images. The server processes and renders the ImageryLayer and returns a ready-to-draw jpg
or png
image to the client.
When an ImageryLayer is created with lerc
format, the client gets access to the raw data which can be used for client-side analysis and rendering. A default renderer that leverages available imagery information is applied to an ImageryLayer with lerc
format if the pixelFilter function is not specified. The user can change this default renderer on the client-side by applying a renderer or pixelFilter. The pixelFilter is a good alternative if the existing renderers do not meet your requirements. If both renderer
and pixelFilter
are applied to the layer then the pixelFilter
will take priority and its logic will be applied.
Applying pixelFilter
The pixelFilter can be used to colorize raw image pixels when ImageryLayer's format is set to lerc
. It is a function that processes the pixelData. The pixelData
object contains a pixelBlock property that gives you access to all of the pixels in the raster on the client. Inside the pixelFilter
you may loop through all the pixels and process them. This function is a useful alternative if the existing renderers do not meet your requirements, because it gives you control over how to color image pixels. If both a renderer and pixelFilter
are applied to the layer then the pixelFilter
will take priority and its logic will be applied.

pixelFilter
you may loop through all the pixels found in thepixelBlock
property of thepixelData
object and process them. This function may be used to hide some pixels from the view, alter their values, and change their color. The pixelFilter should be used when the imagery layer's format islerc
ortiff
as these formats return raw pixel data to the client.- See also:
Example:var layer = new ImageryLayer({ url: // url to the image service pixelFilter: colorize // see the colorize() function below }); // This function is applied to the pixelFilter property of the layer. // It takes the original value of each pixel and converts it to an RGB // representation to color the layer on a blue - red ramp.

- popupEnabled Boolean
Indicates whether to display popups when features in the layer are clicked.
- Default Value:true
- popupTemplate PopupTemplateautocast
The popup template for the layer. When set on the layer, the popupTemplate allows users to access attributes and display their values using text and/or charts in the view's popup when a pixel is clicked. See this sample for an example of how PopupTemplate interacts with an ImageryLayer.
A default popup template is automatically used if no
popupTemplate
has been defined when Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set totrue
.- See also:
Example:// displays the temperature stored in the clicked pixel layer.popupTemplate: { title: "Sea Surface Temperature", content: "{Raster.ServicePixelValue}° Celsius" }
- portalItem PortalItem
The portal item from which the layer is loaded. If the portal item references a Feature Service or Scene Service, then you can specify a single layer to load with the layerId property.

- refreshInterval NumberSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.6
Refresh interval of the layer in minutes. Value of
0
indicates no refresh.- Default Value:0
Example:// the layer will be refreshed every 6 seconds. layer.refreshInterval = 0.1;
- Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.11
The renderer assigned to the layer. The renderer defines how to visualize pixels in the layer. Depending on the renderer type, the pixels may be stretched across the color ramp, classified or have different symbols based on values.
If both renderer and pixelFilter is applied to an ImageryLayer then pixelFilter will override the renderer.
- renderingRule RasterFunctionautocast
Specifies the rule for how the requested image should be rendered. When renderingRule applied, the server returns an updated service information that reflects a custom processing as defined by the rendering rule.
- See also:
Example:var remapRF = new RasterFunction({ functionName: "Remap", functionArguments: { InputRanges: [-3,10,11,37], // remap pixels with values -3 to 10 to now have value of 1 OutputValues: [1,2], // remap pixel values from 11 to 37 to have a value of 2 Raster: "$$" // Apply Remap to the image service }, outputPixelType: "u8" }); imageLayer.renderingRule = remapRF; // Set rendering rule to the raster function
- serviceRasterInfo RasterInforeadonlySince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12
Source raster information of the image service. The layer must be loaded before serviceRasterInfo can be accessed.
- See also:
- sourceJSON ObjectSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.13
The image service's metadata JSON exposed by the ArcGIS REST API. While most commonly used properties are exposed on the ImageryLayer class directly, this property gives access to all information returned by the image service. This property is useful if working in an application built using an older version of the API which requires access to image service properties from a more recent version.
The spatial reference of the image service.
- timeExtent TimeExtentautocastSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14
The layer's time extent. When the layer's useViewTime is
false
, the layer instructs the view to show data from the layer based on this time extent. If theuseViewTime
istrue
, then this property has no effect on the layer, because the layer will show the data within the view's timeExtent property.- Default Value:null
Examples:if (!layer.useViewTime) { if (layer.timeExtent) { console.log("Current timeExtent:", layer.timeExtent.start, " - ", layer.timeExtent.end} } else { console.log("The layer will display data within the view's timeExtent."); console.log("Current view.timeExtent:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end} } }
// set the timeExtent on the layer and useViewTime false // In this case, the layer will honor its timeExtent and ignore // the view's timeExtent const layer = new ImageryLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ScientificData/SeaTemperature/ImageServer", timeExtent: { start: new Date(2014, 4, 18), end: new Date(2014, 4, 19) }, useViewTime: false });
- Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.11
TimeInfo provides information such as date fields that store start and end time for each feature and the fullTimeExtent for the layer. The
timeInfo
property, along with itsstartField
andendField
properties, must be set at the time of layer initialization if it is being set for a GeoJSONLayer, CSVLayer or FeatureLayer initialized from client-side features. The fullTimeExtent fortimeInfo
is automatically calculated based on itsstartField
andendField
properties. The timeInfo parameters cannot be changed after the layer is loaded.- Default Value:null
Example:// create geojson layer from usgs earthquakes geojson feed const geojsonLayer = new GeoJSONLayer({ url: "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_month.geojson", copyright: "USGS Earthquakes", fields: [ { "name": "mag", "type": "double" }, { "name": "place", "type": "string" }, { "name": "time", "type": "date" }, // date field { "name": "depth", "type": "double" } ], // timeInfo can be used to do temporal queries // set the startField and endField. // timeExtent is automatically calculated from the // the start and end date fields timeInfo: { startField: "time" } });
- timeOffset TimeIntervalautocastSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14
A temporary offset of the time data based on a certain TimeInterval. This allows users to overlay features from two or more time-aware layers with different time extents. For example, if a layer has data recorded for the year 1970, an offset value of 2 years would temporarily shift the data to 1972. You can then overlay this data with data recorded in 1972. A time offset can be used for display purposes only. The query and selection are not affected by the offset.
- Default Value:null
Example:// Offset a CSV Layer containing hurricanes from 2015 so that they appear in 2019 (+4 years). var layer = new CSVLayer({ url: `hurricanes-and-storms-2015.csv`, timeOffset: { value: 4, unit: "years" }, timeInfo: { startField: "ISO_time" }, renderer: { type: "simple", symbol: { type: "simple-marker", size: 6, color: "red", outline: { width: 0.5, color: "black" } } } });
- type Stringreadonly
For ImageryLayer the type is always "imagery".
- url String
The URL to the REST endpoint of the layer. The URL may either point to a resource on ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online.
Example:// This url must point to an Image Service var layer = new ImageryLayer({ url: "http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/CharlotteLAS/ImageServer" });
- useViewTime BooleanSince: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14
Determines if the layer will update its temporal data based on the view's current timeExtent. When
false
, the layer will display its temporal data based on the layer's timeExtent, regardless of changes to the view.- Default Value:true
Example:if (featureLayer.useViewTime) { console.log("Displaying data between:", view.timeExtent.start, " - ", view.timeExtent.end); }
- version Numberreadonly
The version of ArcGIS Server in which the image service is published.
Example:// Prints the version number to the console, e.g. 10.2, 10.3, 10.41 console.log(layer.version);
Indicates if the layer is visible in the View. When
false
, the layer may still be added to a Map instance that is referenced in a view, but its features will not be visible in the view.- Default Value:true
Example:// The layer is no longer visible in the view layer.visible = false;

Example:// get image coordinate system of the specified catalog item // for example Raster.OBJECTID = 1600 layer.getCatalogItemICSInfo(imageId).then(function(info) { // create a spatialReference object and set its // imageCoordinateSystem property var sr = { // autocasts to esri/geometry/SpatialReference imageCoordinateSystem: { id: imageId } }; // Calculate an extent for the mapview based on the image's extent // in its original coordinate system const width = document.getElementById("viewDiv").getBoundingClientRect().width; const height = document.getElementById("viewDiv").getBoundingClientRect().height; const newExt = info.icsExtent.clone(); const scaleFactor = 5; newExt.xmin = (newExt.xmin + newExt.xmax - width * scaleFactor) / 2; newExt.xmax = newExt.xmin + width * scaleFactor; newExt.ymin = (newExt.ymin + newExt.ymax - height * scaleFactor) / 2; newExt.ymax = newExt.ymin + height * scaleFactor; newExt.spatialReference = sr; // set the MapView's spatialReference to the image's coordinate system // and the extent to the extent calculated above view = new MapView({ container: "viewDiv", map: map, spatialReference: sr, extent: newExt }); });
- getCatalogItemRasterInfo(rasterId, abortOptions){Promise<RasterInfo>}Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.13
Get the raster info of a catalog item in an image service. Each raster catalog item represents a feature in the raster catalog. Each such feature has an associated raster. The image service must have a catalog capability.
Parameters:rasterId NumberRaster catalog id.
abortOptions AbortSignaloptionalSignal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task.
Returns:Type Description Promise<RasterInfo> When resolved, a RasterInfo containing info specific to the catalog item is returned.
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.
isFulfilled()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled,true
will be returned.Returns:Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
isRejected()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected,true
will be returned.Returns:Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.
isResolved()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved,true
will be returned.Returns:Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.
This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.
It's possible to provide a
signal
to stop being interested into aLoadable
instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.Parameter:signal AbortSignaloptionalSignal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named
AbortError
when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.Returns:Type Description Promise Resolves when the resources have loaded.
Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.
Parameters:A event type, or an array of event types, 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(s).Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event. Example:view.on("click", function(event){ // event is the event handle returned after the event fires. console.log(event.mapPoint); });
- redraw()
Executes the pixelFilter function and redraws the layer.
Example:// function defined in layer.pixelFilter is re-executed layer.redraw();
- refresh()Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.6
Fetches all the data for the layer.
- Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.6
when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback
executes when the instance of the class loads. Theerrback
executes if the instance of the class fails to load.Parameters:callback FunctionoptionalThe function to call when the promise resolves.
errback FunctionoptionalThe function to execute when the promise fails.
Returns:Type Description Promise Returns a new promise for the result of callback
that may be used to chain additional functions.Example:// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use then() in the same way var view = new MapView(); view.when(function(){ // This function will execute once the promise is resolved }, function(error){ // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error });
