LayerSwipe destroy

OrenGal — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 05:16:55 GMT

Hi,
I have a toggle button for enabling and disabling the LayerSwipe.
After destroy(), one of the layers in the swipe is cropped.
application: http://gisn.tel-aviv.gov.il/iview2js/index.aspx

Tried in addition to add these lines to the destroy function:

LayerSwipe.disable();
LayerSwipe.destroy();
LayerSwipe=null;

CroppedTiledLayer.hide();
CroppedTiledLayer.show();
CroppedTiledLayer.refresh();
CroppedTiledLayer.resume();

But still layer is cropped (only sometimes, mostly IE10, can't understand it).
Thanks,
Oren.

Hi Oren,

It sounds like the CSS clip isn't being removed in some IE. I'll dig deeper to see if I can find a solution. Since you already called .disable() that "should" have cleared it up but apparently it isn't working. I will check in an update on github and let you know when there's a fix. there might be a easy solution as well.

I just need to figure out the correct way to clear the CSS clip on the layer's node for the IE that is failing.

Thanks

The IE issue should be fixed for next version.

You can grab the latest code here if you need it now: https://github.com/driskull/arcgis-dijit-layer-swipe-js

Let me know if you still see the issue here:

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the fast fix! How do I merge the LayerSwipe.js from GitHub to my project?
Tried to put the file here ..\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\3.7\3.7\js\esri\dijit
but then the app didn't start. What am I missing?

Try this file. I think you just need to remove the 'zesri'. That's just there so that it's loaded as a custom module. This file should work though.

Didn't remove a thing. just copied it. Works like a charm.
Thanks again Matt!

Hi Matt,
I have another minor minor issue: when I press the first time the toggle button,
the splitter appears but the background is not changed.
Only when I start to move the splitter right or left, only then the background changes.
Can you please check it?
Thanks,
Oren

Hi Oren,

It's kind of hard to test since the services are so slow viewing from here. Is it just the first time that's a problem?

Can you try the attached?

I also see an error with a layer.

Thanks Matt, but the result remains.
I will make a small project and send you with Esri services.

update: It happens only with the new layerswipe.js. when I returned the original 3.7 it's not happening.

Oren,

I guess this is some test datasets, but inserting fake traffic direction "arrows" as road lines on your map and symbolizing it on your map as part of a road layer, is really bad cartographic and GIS practice...

Marco,
Please answer in the right thread...

Eh... maybe I am missing something?, and you started another thread somewhere about cartography, but the link you posted shows this issue in the "Traffic & Parking" layer.

I don't understand what is 'fake traffic direction "arrows"'

I think I understand your issue. This should fix it.
