QueryTask and Zoom to Result

MJWaldstein

Hi,

I am looking to see if anyone knows how I can have both a queryTask function and have the map zoom to the result automatically after the search button is clicked. I am stuck on how to create the zoom function, as my search works.

Below is the code i have for the search ability:

var watershed_areas = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://54.245..................");
map.addLayers(watershed_areas);

findTask = new esri.tasks.FindTask("http://54.245...............");


    findParams = new esri.tasks.FindParameters();
    findParams.returnGeometry = true;
    findParams.layerIds = [0];
    findParams.searchFields = ["NWWTRSHDCD", "WTRSHDD"];



function execute(searchText) {

    findParams.searchText = searchText;
    findTask.execute(findParams, showResults);
   }
   function showResults(results) {
    var polygonSymbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([255, 0, 0]), 1), new dojo.Color([255, 0, 0, 1]));
    map.graphics.clear();
    var dataForGrid = [];

    dojo.forEach(results, function(result) {
     var graphic = result.feature;
     dataForGrid.push([result.layerName, result.foundFieldName, result.value]);
     switch (graphic.geometry.type) {
      case "point":
       graphic.setSymbol(markerSymbol);
       break;
      case "polyline":
       graphic.setSymbol(lineSymbol);
       break;
      case "polygon":
       graphic.setSymbol(polygonSymbol);
       break;
     }
     map.graphics.add(graphic);
    });
    var data = {
     items : dataForGrid
    };
    var store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({
     data : data
    });
    grid.setStore(store);
   }

If anyone could lend any assistance, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Margaret

The way I handle this for multiple results is to create a new Extent, and then keep increasing the extent size to include each of the returned results.

Once you have all your results, you can just use map.setExtent() to zoom to that specific extent.

If you only have a single result that is easier, as you then just grab the extent from your feature, expand that extent and again use map.setExtent().

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the reply. I changed it to a drop down list, which works when you choose to pick from the first of the two drop-down lists. But it will not zoom to the feature when i choose form the second drop down list..... and ever other time I refresh the drop down won't work at all, which may be just a bug. I refresh it again, and it works.

Margaret,

I understand that you want to zoom to the entire result set of query task. You are using query task which returns a feature set. I would use following esri namespace method to get the extent of all graphics and use that to set the extent of map:

var myFeatureExtent = esri.graphicsExtent(myFeatureSet.features);
map.setExtent(myFeatureExtent);

I hope this helps.

Rahul is correct in pointing you to using the esri.graphicsExtent method that is built in to the Javascript API. Here is how I zoom to all the graphics that have been added to the map after executing a find task. So that you do not have to change much of your code you can simply add the following to the end of your "showResults method ..essentially AFTER you have added the new graphics to the map.

//zoom to graphics on the 
  var graphicsExtent = esri.graphicsExtent(map.graphics.graphics)
  if (graphicsExtent !== null) {
    map.setExtent(graphicsExtent);
//map.setExtent(graphicsExtent.expand(1.5)); //use this if you want to expand the extent
  }

WillHughes1

Why does this only zoom to selected features when the result is > 1? If you enter a city such as Miami which returns multiple points it works, but Raleigh doesn't zoom to the selection because the result set is 1.

i use the sandbox to test the javascript - https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript//sandbox/sandbox.html?sample=

From the graphicsExtent help: If the extent height and width are 0, null is returned.

That's the case when only one point is returned. You can test for that and set the extent for that point, like in this thread.

When posting code, get into the habit of put it into a code block, using the # button above. It makes it easier to read.

ZachLiu1

I would just use this to take care of the case when only one point is returned during a query task.

if(resultFeatures.length == 1) {
                map.centerAt(resultFeatures[0].geometry);
            }

WillHughes1

Thanks Zach and Ken. Zach, I like the option of just centering on the selected feature, but how would you set the zoom level? It would be fine to use a constant value for zoom level.

Will

kenbuja

You can use the centerAndZoom method, which allows you to use a zoom factor.

WillHughes1

Thanks Ken.

I just tried using the centerAndZoom method and it worked perfectly.

map.centerAndZoom(resultFeatures[0].geometry, .01);

Will

kenbuja

Thanks Ken.

I just tried using the centerAndZoom method and it worked perfectly.
map.centerAndZoom(resultFeatures[0].geometry, .01);
Will

You should check what happens when you try this multiple times to see if it continues to zoom in.
