WaterSymbol3DLayer
require(["esri/symbols/WaterSymbol3DLayer"], function(WaterSymbol3DLayer) { /* code goes here */ });
esri/symbols/WaterSymbol3DLayer
WaterSymbol3DLayer is used to render Polygon geometries as realistic, animated water surfaces, therefore it can only be used inside a PolygonSymbol3D.
Various properties can be set to enhance the realistic effect of this symbol layer. The waveStrength can be set to show the magnitude of the waves and waveDirection indicates the direction in which the waves travel. The waterbodySize can be set to specify how large the waterbody is. The dominant color of the water can be used to change the appearance of the water.
This symbol layer is not supported in a MapView.
Autocasting support
As of version 4.5 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, autocasting is universally supported for all renderers, symbols, and symbol layers in the API. So there is no need to include this module in the require()
and define()
module loaders of your application unless you intend to use the static method(s) of this module.

Property Details
- color Color
The dominant color used to shade the water. The water has different shades of the dominant color based on the reflection of the light. The image below shows how different types of water can be represented with different colors. For example for deep water the dominant color could be navy blue.
The color can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with
r
,g
,b
, anda
properties, or a Color object.- Default Value:#0077BE
Example:// a new color by a HEX string symbolLayer.color = "#005B66";
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className
.
- type Stringreadonly
The symbol type.
For WaterSymbol3DLayer the type is always "water".
- waterbodySize String
Indicates the size of the waterbody which is represented by the symbol layer.
small
can be set for small lakes, rivers or swimming pools,medium
can be set for large lakes, whereaslarge
is recommended for ocean and sea waterbodies.Possible Values:"small"|"medium"|"large"
- Default Value:medium
Example:// sets the waterBodySize for an ocean like waterbody. symbolLayer.waterbodySize = "large";
- waveDirection Number
Indicates the direction in which the waves travel. This value represents the geographic rotation in degrees and it ranges from 0 to 360 degrees. A value of 0 degrees corresponds to geographic north, which means that the wave travels from south to north.
The default is set to
null
, which will display the waves without a distinct direction.- Default Value:null
Example:// sets the wave direction to 215 degrees symbolLayer.waveDirection = 215;
- waveStrength String
Indicates the shape and intensity of the waves. Currently only calm to moderate waterbodies can be represented. A
calm
wave strength represents water without waves, acting almost like a mirror. A water withrippled
wave strength has very small and short waves.slight
wave strength displays the waves with a more pronounced form, but they are still quite short. Choosingmoderate
will display waves with a longer form and a slightly increased intensity.Possible Values:"calm"|"rippled"|"slight"|"moderate"
- Default Value:moderate
Example:// sets the wave strength to small waves symbolLayer.waveStrength = "slight";
