Add polygon coordinates via dynamic variables

Hi everybody!

I have a function which takes the XY coordinates from a point layer and then passes those coordinates to a couple of variables. Those values are then assigned to other values which compute 4 coordinate pairs which are meant to be used as a list of coordinates to a create polygon via the esri/geometry/Polygon module.

Passing the values works like a charm and the additional variables are all defined. In fact the entire code runs, but it doesn't produce the desired results which is a square.

Side note: I know it's the variables because if I assign some hard numeric values to the addPoly function and not the variables the desired polygon will be produced. Thanks for your time!

function addPoly(){

//assign values to the square coordinates

var x1 = Number(xpoint + 201.168);

var y1 = Number(ypoint + 201.168);

var x2 = Number(xpoint + 201.168);

var y2 = Number(ypoint - 201.168);

var x3 = Number(xpoint - 201.168);

var y3 = Number(ypoint - 201.168);

var x4 = Number(xpoint - 201.168);

var y4 = Number(ypoint + 201.168);

//check to see if values were assigned

alert("Your values are " + x1 + " " + y1);

//add polygon symbology

var polySymbol = new SimpleFillSymbol().setColor(null).outline.setColor("blue");

var polyLineSymbol = new SimpleLineSymbol();

var polygon = new Polygon({

"rings": [

[

[y1, x1],

[y2, x2],

[y3, x3],

[y4, x4],

[y1, x1]

]

"spatialReference": {

"wkid": 102100

}

});

alert("graphic should add next");

map.graphics.add(new Graphic(polygon, polySymbol));

};
