symbolPreview not working

Blanca_FlorHabana_Matamoros — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 04:19:05 GMT

I try to add the symbols obtained from the map layers in a div, I'm using symbolPreview does not give any errors but does not add the symbols in the div.
What is wrong?

var symbol = drawingInfo.renderer; symbolPreview.renderPreviewHTML(symbol, { node: document.getElementById(nombreImg), size: 12, opacity: 1 });

Blanca,

You are sending a Renderer class into the symbolPreview. The symbolPreview class is expecting a Symbol class not a Renderer.

// symbol from SimpleRenderer;
var symbol = layer.renderer.symbol.clone();

symbolPreview.renderPreviewHTML(symbol, {
  node: document.getElementById("preview"),
  size: 8
});‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I already sent a symbol but it does the same.

var symbol = drawingInfo.renderer.symbol.clone();
console.log("dentro del symbol", symbol);
var s = new Symbol({
type: symbol.type,
color: symbol.color,
size: 12,
outline: {
color: symbol.outline.color,
type: symbol.outline.type,
width: symbol.outline.width
}
});

symbolPreview.renderPreviewHTML(symbol, {
node: document.getElementById(div),
size: 8
});

I sent the symbol of this way but I don't sure if that is correct

I have a doubt, in your example you have the next line :

featureLayer.renderer.uniqueValueInfos[3].symbol.clone();

But, in the layers of my application the renderer is null and I get the

information with esriRequest and the renderer have this information

and when I try to add clone function I get the error "clone is not a

function"

Sorry if I ask a lot but I don't have experience working with the api

Blanca,

So if you are using esriRequest to get the drawingInfo then it is just a json string and not an actual esri renderer or symbol class. So you would use:

require(["esri/symbols/SimpleFillSymbol"], function(SimpleFillSymbol) {
  var sym = SimpleFillSymbol.fromJSON(‍drawingInfo.renderer.symbol);‍
  symbolPreview.renderPreviewHTML(sym, {
    node: document.getElementById("symDiv"),
    size: 50
  });
});‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
