Buffering - How do I create geometries manually

roberttilson — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:23:32 GMT

In the example Buffer a point | ArcGIS API for JavaScript , a buffer is displayed based on the click event. Is there a way I can manually the point location?.

The line in question is params.geometries = [ evt.mapPoint ];

I want to simply new up a geometry with 1 or many points, but can't find a way to do it. I have the x, y values I need and the buffer.

Thanks

Rob

Simply create a point and use it instead of "evt.mapPoint" as follows:

First:

dojo.require("esri.geometry.Point");

Then:

var point = new esri.geometry.Point(-96.816, 32.976);
params.geometries = [ point ];
