Labeling Polygons Returned from a Query Task

[JamesBerg]

I am using a QueryTask object to query two feature classes via REST services.  They both take a user drawn geometry and do an intersection to get the values that are underneath that geometry.  The first feature is a polygon and returns the selected polygons from the QueryTask.  The second queries a Point feature and uses the Statistics functionality to group by the Polygon ID that is on each point.  I want to then show the totals returned by the second feature class as a lable on the polygons returned from the first Query.  Is there a way to do this?  I can't figure out how to add labels to the polygon features returned from the QT.

James,

   If you are using an ArcGIS Server 10.1 map service than you should look at this sample:

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/01nq/01nq00000086000000.htm

If not than you have a lot of code work ahead of you to accomplish this.

1. You will have to get the polygon centroid or use the GeometryService to get the labelpoint and then create a point graphics layer from those points and assign the label text you wish to use as an attribute to each point.


2. Assign a TextSymbol as the graphics layers symbol and assign the field that you put the label text into as the textAttribute.

Good luck with this

Robert,

The second option is the path I am going down at this point.  The only problem I have is I don't know how to match up the points returned from the Geometry Service to the polygons they were created from to assign labels to them.  Any ideas on that?  Am I missing some kind of parameter that will assign some value to the points returned?

James,

  They will always come back in the same order you sent them in.
