Highlighting points on map view

NachiChidambaram — Thu, 09 Nov 2017 01:02:08 GMT

I am using arcgisAPI 4.5.

I have two points on map view. I want to highlight second point using a flag/checkbox.

Do I need to remove all graphic on the screen and add them back again using a different marker symbol

or is there a way to identify and update the point using id ?

Here is my code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">
 <title>Intro to graphics - 4.5</title>

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/4.5/esri/css/main.css">
 <script src="https://js.arcgis.com/4.5/"></script>

 <style>
 html,
 body,
 #viewDiv {
 padding: 0;
 margin: 0;
 height: 100%;
 width: 100%;
 }
 </style>

 <script>
 require([
 "esri/Map",
 "esri/views/MapView",
 "esri/Graphic",
 "dojo/domReady!"
 ], function(
 Map, MapView, Graphic,
 ) {

 var map = new Map({
 basemap: "hybrid"
 });

 var view = new MapView({
 center: [-80, 35],
 container: "viewDiv",
 map: map,
 zoom: 3
 });

 createPoint(-49.97,41.73);
 createPoint(-49.97,47.73);

 function createPoint(lng, lat){
 var point = {
 type: "point",
 longitude: lng,
 latitude: lat
 };

 var markerSymbol = {
 type: "simple-marker",
 color: [226, 119, 40],
 outline: { 
 color: [255, 255, 255],
 width: 2
 }
 };

 var pointGraphic = new Graphic({
 geometry: point,
 symbol: markerSymbol
 });

 view.graphics.add(pointGraphic);
 
 } 

 });
 </script>
</head>

 <div id="viewDiv"></div>

Nachi,

If you assign an Id attribute to your point then you can loop through the view.graphics array to find that point with that Id and change it's symbol.

Thank you. Could you show me an example of how to trigger mouse events on points or polylines in view.graphic layer.

For example when I click on a point I want to change outline color , so that it indicates its selected.
