Elevation Profile

[jamessouter]

Any planned support for the tool that has been added to the arcgis online javascript app where you can run an elevation profile in real time by selecting a line or measuring between two points?

Hi James,

There are a couple options on this. 1) Take a look at the Surface Profile tool from the ArcGIS API for Silverlight samples: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#SurfaceProfile. This would need to be modified for the SL Viewer.

2) Add the GP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://sampleserver2.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Elevat... Profile Service task to the Application Builder (Add GP tool). With this approach, the profile image does not display automatically, but you are given a link within the Output profile attributes. The best approach there is to enable pop-ups for the Output layer and then the user can click the link to open it in a new window.

Hope that helps,
Katy

There appears to be an issue with the Surface Profile sample. I am getting a 404 not found in fiddler when submitting a request using the sample.

James and Brian,

Please take a look at the 10.0 GP service available on another Esri sample server. You can add this GP service in the SL Viewer by using the Add GP Tool wizard. I've tested this myself and it works fine.

The GP service itself is based on arcpy mapping module and lets user draw a line and then the profile picture will be inserted into the output .pdf file along with the map. Please take a look at the sample .pdf file attached.
