How to zoom to features

GeoAticoPUJ — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:58:49 GMT

Hi guys,

I´m developing an application that uses the time slider and I need to zoom to features that correspond to the selected time extent. I don't know if time slider returns an array of features or graphics so i can use it for setting the map extent or something like that.

Thanks for your help.

Hi mcubides,

Here are some samples that may help: samples

You could zoom to the selected features, or graphics by using this: esri.graphicsExtent(graphics)

In the Feature Layer class there are some methods you can use to query the data, check out the selectFeatures method as well as esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_SELECTION.

dojo.connect(yourTimeSlider, "onTimeExtentChange", function(timeExtent) {
   yourFeatureLayer.selectFeatures(query, esri.layers.FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW, function (features) {
       // do something with the features here
   });
});
