Set the default line color on a sketch

nevvo — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 16:04:18 GMT

Hello there,

I am wanting to set the default line colour for the sketch widget in a similar fashion to this: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/how-to-change-the-default-color-of-the-draw-widget/td-p/17169 but in the 4.X javascript world.

I am able to assign a color to a graphic by setting the symbol on the graphic that I can then add to a view by using:

const graphic = new Graphic({ geometry: geometry, symbol: { type: this.options.line.type, color: this.options.line.color, width: this.options.line.width } });

But I am not sure what I would need to default and on what object so that when I draw lines the custom color is used.

Thanks

This might do what you're looking for:

sketch.viewModel.polylineSymbol = { type: "simple-line", //autocasts as new SimpleLineSymbol() color: "red", width: "4px", style: "solid" };
