Measure Lengths Sample - Label at the end ?

ionarawilson1 — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:17:23 GMT

Hi,

I am implementing the measure lengths in my app. What do I need to code differently if I want to add the label at the end of the line and not at the beginning?

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#//01nq0000000n000000

The drawhandler function now has:

latestEndpoint = drawnLine.paths[0][0] as MapPoint;

Is there a way to change that to have the label appear at the end, although I don't have a limit for the length? Thanks

Yes, you can check for the actual length of it. For example, this API sample displays it at the middle of the line:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Clientside_Geodesic_calculations/01nq0000007q000000/

var mid:int = Polyline(userGeometry).paths[0].length / 2; pt = Polyline(userGeometry).paths[0][mid];

Thank you Bjorn. Exactly what I needed.

Is there a way to add this to the feature edit tools and how much copy paste to make it work? I'm looking to try to have the length display while a web user is adding new line feature to a feature service. Then again is this even possible.
Thanks
