Grainy Raster Dataset in Flex, but not in ArcMap???

TonyCollins

Hi, I have two Raster Datasets containing Aerial Photography. They has been created on Server 9.3.1.

One of them appears perfectly from Flex, but the other appears really grainy like a heavily compressed JPEG.

Both of these appear fine in ArcMap when using Direct Connect or the actual ArcGIS Server service the Flex API is using?

If you look closely at this image you can see what I mean. Look in the bottom left at the grass to see:

The image quality is identical in Arcmap when calling from the database or using the ArcGIS service, but when viewed through the API it goes grainy like above.

HELP!!!

Tony,

Are you adding them to the map as a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer? If so have you tried to set the imageFormat="jpg" and dpi="150"? This is what I do for my Imagery layers.

Hi Robert,

You are a STAR!!!

One thing though, I have had to use PNG24 as this layer is scale dependant and when the layer should not be shown the whole screen goes white. I am asuming this is because the API makes the layers transparent or something when they should not be visible (which JPG does not support)??

Does this sound right to you?

Tony,

Yep that's why I actually use these lines in my code:

if(label == "Aerial Photography")
      {
       dynLayer.imageFormat = "jpg";
       dynLayer.dpi = 150;
       dynLayer.minScale = 10000;
      }

Thanks Robert,

Do you know whether the image format I specifiy is done on the client or ArcGIS Server? I think I would prefer using PNG24 to stop the white area you get whilst the layer loads but I definately don't want any extra load on the server?

Tony,

I am pretty sure it is server side. Which means larger images/bytes that are to be transferred to the client if PNG 24.

Oh Ok, I shall have to do some testing.
Thanks as always Robert, you helped me hugely!!!
