How do not print hidden graphic?

MilanSchmidt — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:58:57 GMT

Hi,

I would like to ask about printing. I am using
JavaScript API ver. 3.0, ArcGis server 10.1

I am trying to print just basemap with visible graphics. I have added point to graphic and I have made the point hidden. But, printed image contains this hidden graphic too.

I modified sample from ESRI web page,
just added one button with simple function to hide first added graphic.

<div data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Button" data-dojo-props="label:'Test3', onClick:function(){test3();}">
</div>

function test3() {
app.map.graphics.graphics[0].hide();
}

Simulation of problem:
1. Run http://globus.sazp.sk/test02/print.htm
2. Add one point
3. Press button "Hide my graphic"
4. Pres button "Print"
Printed image contains point even though it is hidden.

Where I am wrong?

Thank you

Milan Schmidt

We will fix this. At this moment, please use graphicsLayer.remove(graphic) to remove the graphic so that it won't be printed out.

Hi Jian,
thank you for your answer.

For this occasion I a little bit modified file
arcgis_js_api\\library\\3.0\\jsapi\\js\\esri\\tasks\\PrintTask.js.uncompressed.js
and I am using this one.

I just added one "if" code

if (gLayer.graphics[idx].visible) {
}

into method _createFeatureCollection

I will happily use original library file after fixing this problem.

Thank you
