Print Legend on a seperat Page

MiriamBrockmann

Hi there!

My Question is simple : can you print the Legend, made by the LegendLayer of the PrintTask on a seperate Page?

I've searched the Web up and down, but don't get any hints for a solution.

I've setup my own Layout, but can only place an Legendfield on the same Page. Theres no option for a second.

Regards, Miriam

I can think of perhaps one way of doing this but I'm not 100% sure (and I don't have actual code to share).

1.) Create and register two custom print templates with ArcGIS Server:

* One print template is your basic map, minus the legend

* Second print template has just your legend within the visible area of the layout (i.e. move the data frame off of the physical map space so it won't appear when you use the template).

2.) Use the 1st map template with PrintTask as you normally would.

3.) In the Callback function for the printTask, pass the results of the 1st printTask to a second function which generates the legend using the second print template.

4.) In the second printTask callback, initiate some sort of GP service using ArcPy to combine the two separate PDFs into the final, finished PDF.

Ugly, kludgy, and something I'd rather not tackle.

Has anybody an Idea how to make this? Or an Idea if this is possible or not?

Only ArcGIS Pro supports multiple map view and layouts ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Desktop

Hello Dan!

Thanks for answering! I followed your Link and just find a hint to two seperate Mapframes, but no Option for a seperate Legend. Have you further Information?

There is no way to do it automatically other than moving other elements off the map leaving the legend (probably in graphics form). ArcMap has suffered greatly for the inability to have multiple layouts like the old ArcView 3.x ... they are going to rectify that with ArcGIS PRO

TracySchloss

I wouldn't assume that just because you can have two map frames in ArcGIS Pro that this functionality will become available as a PrintTask through the Javascript API. These are two different technologies.

Hello Steve!

I started a try in this direction yesterday. Seems to be the only Option to solve this.

I'll post the results, when i'm successful!

Hello Steve!

Your suggestion did it! Now i can Print the Map on one Side an the Legend is printed on a second separate Page.

After the Map is printed i call the printtask.execute a second Time and call the Legend_Layout without the Map.

Works perfect.

Regards, Miriam

Awesome! Sometimes I surprise myself. Glad you were able to code it.

TracySchloss

I would love to see your code, if you're willing to post it. I don't need to print the legend separately, but I have had requests to print a map and a table as one report.

MiriamBrockmann

Okay..I tried to post the Code....never done this bevor, so don't blame if it's not displayed correctly 😉

If the table and the Map should be in one print you have to make your own Layout.

Therefore you need to setup an own Webmap Export Task.

How to do this is shown in the OnlineHelp - Tutorial: Publishing additional services for printing—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server

We have programmed a FloatingPanel where the User can make all necessary settings for the Print like Size, Format, DPI, Scale, Orientation ( Portrait or Landscape ), print with Basemaps or without, with Legend or not or just the Map like its shown.

When the USer push the Print Button, this function does all the work and calls the Printer.

function analyzePrintParameter(PrintScale,PrintOri,PrintDPI,PrintOutput){

require(["dojo/_base/array",

"dojo/dom",

"dojo/dom-style",

"dojo/on",

"dijit/registry",

"esri/geometry/Point",

"esri/SpatialReference",

"esri/tasks/PrintParameters",

"esri/tasks/PrintTask",

"esri/tasks/PrintTemplate"],

function( arrayUtils,

dom,

domStyle,

on,registry,

Point,SpatialReference,

PrintParameters,PrintTask,PrintTemplate){

//Basemaps on/off

if(registry.byId("CBBaseMapEinAus").get("checked")){

//filter the first Childnodeof Basemaps

arrayUtils.forEach(map.layerIds, function(id){

var layer = map.getLayer(id);

if (layer._basemapGalleryLayerType === "basemap") {

layer.hide();

}

});

}

var printTask = new esri.tasks.PrintTask(app.printUrl, {async : true});

var template = new PrintTemplate();

if(registry.byId("radioOriPortrait").checked){

if (registry.byId("NurKarteId").checked) {

template.layout = "A" + PrintOri + " " + registry.byId("radioOriPortrait").value + " pur";

}

else {

template.layout = "A" + PrintOri + " " + registry.byId("radioOriPortrait").value;

}

if(registry.byId("radioOriLandscape").checked){

if (registry.byId("NurKarteId").checked) {

template.layout = "A" + PrintOri + " " + registry.byId("radioOriLandscape").value + " pur";

}

else {

template.layout = "A" + PrintOri + " " + registry.byId("radioOriLandscape").value;

}

template.label = PrintOri;

template.format = PrintOutput;

template.preserveScale = true;

template.outScale = PrintScale;

app.template = template;

printTask.execute(app, printResult);

function printResult(result) {

window.open(result.url);

}

//Print Legend if Checkbox is marked

if(registry.byId("LegendeEinAus").checked){

PrintLegend(PrintScale,PrintOri,PrintDPI,PrintOutput);

}

// close FloatingPane

closePrintPane();

});

}

Hope this answers your question. If not...feel free to ask.

Regards Miriam
