Can the Spy Glass be enlarged?

jaredpilbeam — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 02:30:12 GMT

Hello,

I've created a spyglass map (http://arcg.is/1Lx1tpP) and wonder whether the spyglass can be made bigger so as to see a larger area underneath?

Thanks for any help,

-Jared

I could be wrong, but briefly looking into the JS, it seems that it's not possible (at least without reworking the API yourself). Further confirming this is the sprite icon jpg used buy the feature:

Jared,

What if you did something like this?

Layer Swipe But with your layer.

I did some good looking and found that it is in the api. I tried for a few minutes to adjust your map on my local server and could not get it working with changes. Sorry.

Thank you all for looking into it. If it's not possible to enlarge it, I guess i'll have to go the swipe map route.

Jared,

I've just started a new job and have been offline for a few days. Does the Swipe Plus widget on this page do what you are looking for?
