Creating Unique value colorizer for raster

GKmieliauskas — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 13:51:40 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create raster layer from grid and apply unique value colorizer on the same button click. I have tried different techniques from samples with feature layers, from geonet question https://community.esri.com/thread/235510-applysymbologyfromlayer-geoprocessing-tool (part about Classify colorizer) but can't get results as I expected. Sometimes I see correct legend but no raster on map, otherwise bad legend and bad colorized raster on map. I modified ChangeColorizerForRasterLayer project from sdk samples to load my raster and added color ramp to

SetToUniqueValueColorizer method. My code:

public static async Task SetToUniqueValueColorizer(BasicRasterLayer basicRasterLayer)

{

// Creates a new UV Colorizer Definition using the default constructor.

string fieldName = "Value";

string colorRampName = "Muted pastels";

string colorRampStyle = "ArcGIS Colors";

// Sets the newly created colorizer on the layer.

await QueuedTask.Run(async() =>

{

IList<ColorRampStyleItem> rampList = GetColorRampsFromStyleAsync(Project.Current, colorRampStyle, colorRampName);

CIMColorRamp colorRamp = rampList[0].ColorRamp;

UniqueValueColorizerDefinition UVColorizerDef = new UniqueValueColorizerDefinition(fieldName, colorRamp);

// Creates a new UV colorizer using the colorizer definition created above.

CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer newColorizer = await basicRasterLayer.CreateColorizerAsync(UVColorizerDef) as CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer;

basicRasterLayer.SetColorizer(newColorizer);

});

}

@Uma Harano could you please help me again. I can attach my raster.

Hi Gintautas,

I used your methods and sample raster dataset and it seemed to work for me. Only thing I added to my code was GetColorRampsFromStyleAsync method.Since it was async, I awaited it (line 29 in the snippet below)and it created the correct Colorizer in Pro.

 private static async Task<IList<ColorRampStyleItem>> GetColorRampsFromStyleAsync()
        {
            string colorRampName = "Muted pastels";

            //string colorRampStyle = "ArcGIS Colors";
            string colorBrewerSchemesName = "ArcGIS Colors";
            StyleProjectItem style = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>().First(s => s.Name == colorBrewerSchemesName);
            IList<ColorRampStyleItem> colorRampList = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
            {
                return style.SearchColorRamps(colorRampName);
            });

            return colorRampList;
        }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

public static async Task SetToUniqueValueColorizer(BasicRasterLayer basicRasterLayer)

        {
            // Creates a new UV Colorizer Definition using the default constructor.

            string fieldName = "Value";

            // Sets the newly created colorizer on the layer.

            await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>

            {

                IList<ColorRampStyleItem> rampList =  await GetColorRampsFromStyleAsync();

                CIMColorRamp colorRamp = rampList[0].ColorRamp;

                UniqueValueColorizerDefinition UVColorizerDef = new UniqueValueColorizerDefinition(fieldName, colorRamp);

                // Creates a new UV colorizer using the colorizer definition created above.

                CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer newColorizer = await basicRasterLayer.CreateColorizerAsync(UVColorizerDef) as CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer;

                basicRasterLayer.SetColorizer(newColorizer);

            });

        }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can you please this?

Thanks

Hi Uma,

Thanks for reply.

I have copied your code inside my test project. No changes.

Result with your code

Must be (result of the same color ramp from Symbology pane)

When raster contains only one value (with your code):

Re: Creating Unique value colorizer for raster

UmaHarano — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 18:13:11 GMT

Hi Gintautas,

When you use the code, is the issue that the 3 colors chosen by the code doesn't match the colors chosen by the same action accomplished by the Symbology dockpane UI?

I need to confirm this, but that might be how the code behaves - It randomly picks 3 colors which are different than what the Pro UI does.

Thanks

Uma

Hi Uma,

I have changed color ramp to show that code does not work. I have used color ramp “Green Blues”.

Below images before applying unique value colorizer and after

Before:

After:

There is another one problem with unique value colorizer. My raster has two fields “Value” and “SLabel”(text).

If I choose Field for colorizer “Value” I get no image on map at all. The color ramp is not what I choose too.

Thanks

Hi Gintautas

The issue is that the CreateColorizer does not systematically assign colors from the associated color ramp. We are looking into addressing it in the future.

In the meantime, here is some code that can help solve this issue.

internal class SetColorizer : Button
  {
    protected async override void OnClick()
    {
      var raster = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<RasterLayer>().FirstOrDefault();
      if (raster == null)
        return;

      await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
      {
        string colorBrewerSchemesName = "ArcGIS Colors";
        var colorRampNames = new List<string>() { "Green Blues", "Bathymetry #1", "Bathymetry #3",
                      "Cyan to Purple", "Inferno", "Aspect"};
        var color_index = new Random().Next(0, colorRampNames.Count - 1);
        string fieldName = "Value";
        var colorizer = await CreateUniqueValueColorizerAsync(
                                  raster, colorBrewerSchemesName, colorRampNames[color_index], fieldName);
        raster.SetColorizer(RecalculateColorizer(colorizer));
      });
    }

    public CIMRasterColorizer RecalculateColorizer(CIMRasterColorizer colorizer)
    {
      if (colorizer is CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer uvrColorizer)
      {
        var colorRamp = uvrColorizer.ColorRamp;
        if (colorRamp == null)
          throw new InvalidOperationException("Colorizer must have a color ramp");

        //get the total number of colors to be assigned
        var total_colors = uvrColorizer.Groups.Select(g => g.Classes.Count()).Sum();
        var colors = ColorFactory.Instance.GenerateColorsFromColorRamp(colorRamp, total_colors);
        var c = 0;
        foreach(var uvr_group in uvrColorizer.Groups)
        {
          foreach (var uvr_class in uvr_group.Classes)
          {
            //assign the generated colors to each class in turn
            uvr_class.Color = colors[c++];
          }
        }
      }
      else if (colorizer is CIMRasterClassifyColorizer classColorizer)
      {
        var colorRamp = classColorizer.ColorRamp;
        if (colorRamp == null)
          throw new InvalidOperationException("Colorizer must have a color ramp");

        var total_colors = classColorizer.ClassBreaks.Count();
        var colors = ColorFactory.Instance.GenerateColorsFromColorRamp(colorRamp, total_colors);
        var c = 0;
        foreach(var cbreak in classColorizer.ClassBreaks)
        {
          //assign the generated colors to each class break in turn
          cbreak.Color = colors[c++];
        }
      }
      return colorizer;
    }

    public static Task<CIMRasterColorizer> CreateUniqueValueColorizerAsync(
       BasicRasterLayer basicRasterLayer, string styleName, string colorRampName, string fieldName)
    {
      return QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
      {
        //we just assume that all of this works and doesn't return null anywhere.. ;-)
        var style = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>().First(s => s.Name == styleName);
        var ramps = style.SearchColorRamps(colorRampName);
        var colorizerDef = new UniqueValueColorizerDefinition(fieldName, ramps[0].ColorRamp);
        return await basicRasterLayer.CreateColorizerAsync(colorizerDef);
      });
    }
  }
}

Hi Uma,

Thank you for your efforts.

Now it works with my text field, but doesn’t work with “Value” field. There is no view of the layer as in my picture in previous answer.

The same things with recalculating colorizer we do in ArcObjects. So nothing changes ☺

It is strange that unique value rendering works fine on featureclasses without recalculating values.

Thanks again.

Hi Gintautas,

Not sure what is happening here - I tried with the raster dataset you shared previously that had the "Value" field and this code works for me.

The Colorizer method has an issue with assigning colors in the specified ramp - This is an issue that we hope to fix in the next release. Renderers that use color ramps do not have this issue.

Thanks

Uma

Hi Uma,

The only one difference in our code is obtaining RasterLayer. You take it from map, in my add-in I create it from LayerFactory. I will check is it work by taking from map.

Re: Creating Unique value colorizer for raster

LesleyBross1 — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 22:51:27 GMT

Uma,

I am experiencing the same issue as Gintautas when adding a UniqueValueColorizer to a new raster layer. I am developing on ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2. If I use the VALUE field for the unique values, Pro changes the field name in the TOC to the only text field on the attribute table (NAME) and cannot display the layer. Image of incorrect TOC:

If I use the NAME field for the unique values, everything works fine. The code you provided to initialize the colorizer results in the color ramp that I am expecting.

It seems that this may have something to do with using the LayerFactory to create the raster layer shortly before symbolizing it. I also tried getting the layer from the map instead of directly from the LayerFactory but this did not change my results. Let me know if I can provide any additional information to help with troubleshooting.

Also, for anyone migrating code from ArcObjects, I found that some of the color ramps that were formerly found in the "Default Ramps" style category can be found in the "ArcGIS Colors" style category in Pro. I am working with the "Elevation #2" color ramp.

UmaHarano — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 17:34:52 GMT

Hi Lesley

I was able to see the same behavior you are seeing. I narrowed down the issue to the CreateColorizer method - it is using the "NAME" field to create the CIMRasterUniqueValueGroup groups. There is a mismatch in the output. I have informed the Raster development about this issue. I will post back to this thread when there is a solution or workaround for this.

Thank you reporting this!

Like Uma mentioned above the CreateColorizer method appears to have some issues. I looked at the colorizer result and the values[0] property in the group / classes appears to have the wrong value. I wrote a workaround to 'hand-correct' those values (i also overwrite the label - but that's extra) by using the raster's attribute table to look up the correct values - needless to say you have to adapt this code to use your raster fields:

protected async override void OnClick()
{
    var raster = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<RasterLayer>().FirstOrDefault();
    if (raster == null)
        return;

    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
        string fieldName = "ericlookup";  // Landuse or value or ericLookup

        var style = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>().First(s => s.Name == "ArcGIS Colors");
        var ramps = style.SearchColorRamps("Green Blues");
        var colorizerDef = new UniqueValueColorizerDefinition(fieldName, ramps[0].ColorRamp);
        var colorizer = raster.CreateColorizer(colorizerDef);

        // fix up colorizer ... turns out the values are wrong ... the landuse value is always inserted
        // we use the Raster's attribute table to collect a dictionary with the correct replacement values
        Dictionary<string, Tuple<string, string>> landuseToFieldValue = new Dictionary<string, Tuple<string, string>>(); ;
        if (colorizer is CIMRasterUniqueValueColorizer uvrColorizer)
        {
            var rasterTbl = raster.GetRaster().GetAttributeTable();
            var cursor = rasterTbl.Search();
            while (cursor.MoveNext())
            {
                var row = cursor.Current;
                var correctVal = row[fieldName].ToString();
                var correctCnt = row["count_"].ToString();
                var key = row[uvrColorizer.Groups[0].Heading].ToString();
                landuseToFieldValue.Add(key, new Tuple<string, string>(correctVal, correctCnt));
            }
            uvrColorizer.Groups[0].Heading = fieldName;
            for (var idxGrp = 0; idxGrp < uvrColorizer.Groups[0].Classes.Length; idxGrp++)
            {
                var grpClass = uvrColorizer.Groups[0].Classes[idxGrp];
                var oldValue = grpClass.Values[0];
                var correctValue = landuseToFieldValue[oldValue];
                grpClass.Values[0] = correctValue.Item1;
                grpClass.Label = $@"{correctValue.Item1} ({correctValue.Item2})";
            }
        }
        raster.SetColorizer(colorizer);
    });
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

With the workaround i was able to code against any of the fields in the raster's attribute table:

Here is the default symbology after i added the raster to my map:

and here are some tests using different field names:
