JSAPI 4.12 Sketch Widget Area

RichardRhone — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 19:15:36 GMT

Is there a way to calculate and display the area of the polygon sketched?

Richard,

Here is a sample that labels the area when the sketch is complete.

Thanks Robert.

Is there a way to determine when the delete feature (trash icon) is clicked? I would need this to clear all features as currently, on click doesnt clear the labels

Richard,

Change (line 80):

view.graphics.add(gra);‍‍

to:

sketch.layer.add(gra);‍‍

Robert,

That works. However, if i draw a polygon then select it and click delete features, it deletes the text. i have to select and delete again to delete polygon. That's why I wanted to know when delete features button click so I could do a removeAll
