add layer values to legend

FaryalSafdar — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 09:35:51 GMT

i have created a legend.

var legend = new Legend({      map: map,      layerInfos: [        {          layer: S_layer,          title: "Factors"        }       ]    }, "legendDiv");     legend.startup();

now i want to add another attribute of the same layer into the legend. i have seen examples of adding another layer to the legend . but could not find any example of how to add attributes of same layer to the legend. can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

I still dont understand what u wanna do, but this example may help u.

In the service they setted up a feature layer with 5 different symbol types and they made just one legend that containts the layers that have been added in the map.

Im not sure if u can do that programatically, so why u dont use arcmap for having a layer with multiple factors?.

Most of the time u need to use more than 1 layer to represent different kind of things, for example temperature and wind Also , maybe u will need to have a dynamic layer for showing more than 1 factor at the time in the legend, in that way u can have 2 or more layers in the same service.
