require(["esri/layers/ImageryLayer"], function(ImageryLayer) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/layers/ImageryLayer
Inheritance: ImageryLayer Layer Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

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.

layers-imagery

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.

Examples:
// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed out beyond a scale of 1:3,000,000
layer.minScale = 3000000;
// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a minimum scale.
layer.minScale = 0;

Defines how overlapping images should be mosaicked.

multidimensionalInfo Object

The multidimensional information associated with the layer if the layer's hasMultidimensions property is true. If defined, multidimensional information contains various dimensions of data for a particular value, such as time, depth, altitude, etc. Defining slices of particular dimensions in the layer is handled with the multidimensionalDefinition property of the mosaicRule.

Default Value:null
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12

The pixel value representing no available information. Can be a number (same value for all bands) or array (specific value for each band).

noDataInterpretation String
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12

Interpretation of the noData setting.

ValueDescription
anyPixel is transparent if any band matches noData value.
allPixel is transparent only if all bands match noData value.

Possible Values:"any"|"all"

objectIdField String

The name of an oid field containing a unique value or identifier for each raster in the layer.

See also:

The opacity of the layer. This value can range between 1 and 0, where 0 is 100 percent transparent and 1 is completely opaque.

Default Value:1
Example:
// Makes the layer 50% transparent
layer.opacity = 0.5;
pixelFilter Function

A function that processes 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 found in the pixelBlock property of the pixelData 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 is lerc or tiff 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. Blue pixels
// represent low values and red pixels represent high values. View the sample
// referenced above to see how this function works

function colorize(pixelData) {
  // If there isn't pixelData, a pixelBlock, nor pixels, exit the function
  if (pixelData === null || pixelData.pixelBlock === null || pixelData.pixelBlock.pixels === null) {
    return;
  }

  // The pixelBlock stores the values of all pixels visible in the view
  var pixelBlock = pixelData.pixelBlock;

  // Get the min and max values of the data in the current view
  var minValue = pixelBlock.statistics[0].minValue;
  var maxValue = pixelBlock.statistics[0].maxValue;

  // The mask is an array that determines which pixels are visible to the client
  var mask = pixelBlock.mask;

  // The pixels visible in the view
  var pixels = pixelBlock.pixels;

  // The number of pixels in the pixelBlock
  var numPixels = pixelBlock.width * pixelBlock.height;

  // Calculate the factor by which to determine the red and blue
  // values in the colorized version of the layer
  var factor = 255.0 / (maxValue - minValue);

  // Get the pixels containing temperature values in the only band of the data
  var band1 = pixels[0];

  // Create empty arrays for each of the RGB bands to set on the pixelBlock
  var rBand = [];
  var gBand = [];
  var bBand = [];

  // Loop through all the pixels in the view
  for (i = 0; i < numPixels; i++) {
    // Get the pixel value recorded at the pixel location
    var tempValue = band1[i];
    // Calculate the red value based on the factor
    var red = (tempValue - minValue) * factor;

    // Sets a color between blue (lowest) and red (highest) in each band
    rBand[i] = red;
    gBand[i] = 0;
    bBand[i] = 255 - red;
  }

  // Set the new pixel values on the pixelBlock (now three bands)
  pixelData.pixelBlock.pixels = [rBand, gBand, bBand];
  pixelData.pixelBlock.pixelType = "u8"; // u8 is used for color
}

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 to true.

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.

Examples:
// while this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids
var lyr = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "caa9bd9da1f4487cb4989824053bb847"
  }  // the first layer in the service is returned
});
// set hostname when using an on-premise portal (default is ArcGIS Online)
// esriConfig.portalUrl = "http://myHostName.esri.com/arcgis";

// while this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for SceneLayers
var lyr = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "8d26f04f31f642b6828b7023b84c2188"
  },
  // loads the third item in the given feature service
  layerId: 2
});
rasterAttributeTableFieldPrefix String

Prefix used to define the fields from the raster attribute table. It's primarily used for popups

rasterFields Field[]readonly

A complete list of fields that consists of raster catalog fields, item pixel value, service pixel value, service pixel value with various server defined function templates, and raster attribute table fields. This list is used for layer's popupTemplate.

Example:
layer.when(function(){
  // print out field names returned in layer.rasterFields
  layer.rasterFields.forEach(function(field){
    console.log(field.name);
  });
});
refreshInterval Number
Since: 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.

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 RasterInforeadonly
Since: 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 Object
Since: 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.

spatialReference SpatialReferenceautocastreadonly

The spatial reference of the image service.

Since: 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 the useViewTime is true, 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 its startField and endField 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 for timeInfo is automatically calculated based on its startField and endField 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"
  }
});
Since: 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"
      }
    }
  }
});

The title of the layer used to identify it in places such as the Legend and LayerList widgets.

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 Boolean
Since: 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;

   spatialReference: sr,
   extent: newExt
 });
});
getCatalogItemRasterInfo(rasterId, abortOptions){Promise<RasterInfo>}

Signal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task.

Returns:
TypeDescription
Promise<RasterInfo>When resolved, a RasterInfo containing info specific to the catalog item is returned.
hasEventListener(type){Boolean}inherited

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameter:
type String

The name of the event.

Returns:
TypeDescription
BooleanReturns true if the class supports the input event.
isFulfilled(){Boolean}inherited

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:
TypeDescription
BooleanIndicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
isRejected(){Boolean}inherited

isRejected() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned.

Returns:
TypeDescription
BooleanIndicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.
isResolved(){Boolean}inherited

isResolved() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned.

Returns:
TypeDescription
BooleanIndicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
load(signal){Promise}inherited

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 a Loadable instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.

Parameter:
optional

Signal 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:
TypeDescription
PromiseResolves when the resources have loaded.
on(type, listener){Object}inherited

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 Function

The function to call when the event is fired.

Returns:
TypeDescription
ObjectReturns an event handler with a remove() method that can be called to stop listening for the event(s).
PropertyTypeDescription
removeFunctionWhen 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.

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited
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: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters:
callback Function
optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function
optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns:
TypeDescription
PromiseReturns 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
});
