Yep :). You need to set up an event listener for onZoomEnd. When that event fires, calculate a value for maxAllowableOffset and then pass it to your feature layer's setMaxAllowableOffset method. The feature layer will then update with new geometries that are appropriate for the map's new scale. I have this partially solved. When I can get the feature to display and I zoom in/out for more/less detail my shapes are not jagged anymore (Yea!). However, if the feature is large it won't draw at all and I get a script error Error: timeout exceeded http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/?v=2.6 Line 14 plus a "script too large" error. ...

Thank you very much. I thought an additional container might be needed but I had difficulty understanding how to do it despite the example here. ... View more

You should only need to call reposition() if you've changed the position of the map. You should not need to call it immediately after creating the map. Can you post the html, css and js you're using? Or maybe even a simplified page that shows the problem? I tried to simplify my app as much as possible but it was still too long for this reply window. I have attached the files. You will need to change the extensions on the files. efhm_style.txt to .css and the other one to .html ... View more

I started out with that sample, however, my application uses a bordercontainer and several contentpanes. When I placed the toolbar's DIV outside of the map's DIV strange things happen with the UI. This indicates that the navigation toolbar is pushing the map contents downwards. Try putting the Toolbar's DIV outside of the Map's DIV, as in the example here. Steve ... View more

It makes sense. And, thanks for the link to the demo! ... View more

this is what I was doing: var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,      new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,      new dojo.Color([0,0,0],0.1)),      new dojo.Color([100,149,237,0.15])); Then, after posting the original question, I changed the line style from STYLE_SOLID to NULL var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,      new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.NULL,      new dojo.Color([0,0,0])),      new dojo.Color([255, 255, 0,0.15])); and the polygon displays with the thin line that I expected to see in the first place. But, it doesn't make sense to me why it works because the API states that NULL means "The line has no symbol". ... View more

I'm having a hard time understanding how to solve this. Although I'm sure the answer is right in front of me. 🙂 ... View more

"When is zoomToEFH_Feature called?" - it is called from a select box on a form. The user chooses an item and it calls this function. I do have maxOffset set as a global variable. I was looking at my code again after your last response and I noticed that I used this twice: var maxOffset = function maxOffset(map, pixelTolerance) {                             return Math.floor(map.extent.getWidth() / map.width) * pixelTolerance;                         }; once in the init function and once in the zoomtoEFH_Feature function. Is that right? I also noticed that I am not using the setMaxAllowableOffset anywhere. Should I put that inside the zoomtoEFH_Feature function?     dojo.connect(efhLayer, "onLoad", function() {      dojo.connect(map, "onZoomEnd", function() {      efhLayer.setMaxAllowableOffset(maxOffset(map,1));      });     }); ...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]11168[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]11169[/ATTACH] Thanks for your help. This is inside my init function: dojo.connect(map, 'onLoad', function (theMap) {                     //resize the map when the browser resizes                     dojo.connect(dijit.byId('mapDiv'), 'resize', map, map.resize);                     var maxOffset = function maxOffset(map, pixelTolerance) {                             return Math.floor(map.extent.getWidth() / map.width) * pixelTolerance;                         };                 }); This is a function that I use to query my feature and then add the graphic(s) to the map: function zoomToEFH_Feature(name) {                   //set up maxOffset for performance                 var maxOffset = function maxOffset(map, pixelTolerance) {                         return Math.floor(map.extent.getWidth() / map.width) * pixelTolerance;                     };                 //create feature layer                   var efhLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("http://<internal server>/ArcGIS/rest/services/NMFS/EFH_MapperData/MapServer/6", {                     maxAllowableOffset: maxOffset(map, 1),                     outFields: ["*"],                     opacity: 0.75,                     id: "efhL"                 });                 efhLayer.setDefinitionExpression("TYPE='EFH'");                 //initialize query                 EFH_Fquery = new esri.tasks.Query();                 EFH_Fquery.where = "DDBOX = '" + name + "' AND FMC = '" + regionName + "'";                 //console.log(EFH_Fquery.where);     //execute query                 efhLayer.queryFeatures(EFH_Fquery, function showResults(featureSet) {                     //console.log('inside show Results for EFH query');                     map.graphics.clear();                     var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID).setColor(new dojo.Color([255, 255, 0, 0.5]));                                         //console.log(featureSet.features.length);       var legendcode = '<table border=0 cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"><caption>Lifestages</caption>';      //Loop through features in the featureSet and add them to the map.                     for (var i = 0, il = featureSet.features.length; i < il; i++) {                         //Get the current feature from the featureSet.                         //Feature is a graphic                         var graphic = featureSet.features;                         graphic.setSymbol(symbol);                         var featureextent = graphic.geometry.getExtent();                         map.setExtent(featureextent, true);                         //Add graphic to the map graphics layer.                         map.graphics.add(graphic);   })              } ...

The solution was to specify display levels on both of the layers I wanted to use (as the previous user suggested). I also made sure to not use the same level (10) in both layers. basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Canvas/World_Light_Gray_Base/MapServer",{displayLevels:[10,11,12,13,14,15,16]}); map.addLayer(basemap); //added this layer so there would be a large number of zoom levels and for overview map oceanBM = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Ocean_Basemap/MapServer",{displayLevels:[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]}); map.addLayer(oceanBM); ...

I want it the other way around. When the ocean basemap disappears I want the light canvas map to appear. ... View more
