How to change the Callout of a FeatureLayer that is already on the SceneView

Yamakaze — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 09:34:04 GMT

I already have a FeatureLayer with Callout on SceneView, and I want to change the style of Callout, but it doesn't seem to be updated on SceneView.

This is my updated Callout style code: ↓

// get featureLayer.labelingInfo's cloned class const labelingInfoCache = peaks.labelingInfo[0].clone() // get featureLayer.labelingInfo.symbol cloned class const symbol = labelingInfoCache.symbol.clone() // disconnect from featurelayer peaks.labelingInfo = null // update properties symbol.symbolLayers.at(0).material = { color: [Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255], } symbol.callout = { type: "line", color: [Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255], border: { color: [Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255, Math.random() * 255] } } // Link to featurelayer to enable updates in sceneView setTimeout(() => { labelingInfoCache.symbol = symbol peaks.labelingInfo = [labelingInfoCache] })

Every time I run these codes, I can see an update in the color of the Label text (by material.color), but the Callout for the Label is not updated.

How can I see updates on SceneView?

If I set the featureLayer.elevationInfo.mode to 'on-the-ground', when I run the above code, I can see that the Callout on SceneView has been updated.

But I need to update Callout even if featureLayer.elevationInfo.mode is 'on-the-ground'

Thanks for reporting, this seems to be a bug. Sent to dev team for further investigation.

I did a few tests but at the moment I can't provide a good workaround.
Use "on-the-ground" of course if that's an option.
Or clone/recreate the whole layer (with new callout config in constructor), but clearly not great either depending on your use case.

Will keep you posted if more intel comes up.
