New features in ArcGIS API for JavaScript new version 3.11

New features in ArcGIS API for JavaScript new version 3.11:

A shorter reference URL: This is important if you are updating a previous version of a program to a new version.

To update your code for version 3.11 references, replace the following URLs accordingly:/3.10/js/dojo/should now READ/3 .11/(Note the dropped "/js/dojo")

To update your source code to version 3.11, you need to correctly replace the following URL path:/3.10/js/dojo/should now be/3.11/(notice that "/js/dojo" is removed), and/3.10/js/esri/should now write/3.11/esri/( Notice that "/js" was removed.

Examples are as follows:

<link rel= "stylesheet" href= "Http://js.arcgis.com/3.11/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css" >
<link rel= "stylesheet" href= "Http://js.arcgis.com/3.11/esri/css/esri.css" >

Improvements to the SDK:

• The New SDK home page has been updated.
• The security sandbox supports more sample programs.
• The Learning Guide is now placed under the "Guides" menu item
• The document contains more links to support better navigation

Data visualization by using Opacityinfo's new property-driven

When using Opacityinfo and renderers, developers have additional ways to improve their data visualization techniques when they display information on their maps.

Renderer.setopacityinfo ({
Field: "M086_07",
Stops: [
{value:10, opacity:0},//-1 StdDev, transparent
{value:39, opacity:0.5},//Averagevalue, 50% Transparent
{value:68, opacity:1}//+1 StdDev, completely opaque
]
});

Check out the series of data visualization blogs and the API Help documentation for the Renderers chapters listed below for more information:

New Featurelayer Rendering Class (Heatmaprenderer) (test ...)

Featurelayer has a new rendering class Heatmaprenderer in this release. The Heatmaprenderer class creates a surface by using an Gaussian blur algorithm that describes the standard areas of the centralized area of a dataset in data visualization. Heatmaprenderer can only work in the current browser (except IE9 and IE9 versions below).

Discover demographic data and geoenrichment variables by Databrowser (Geoenrichment My understanding is geo-enrichment, through geoenrichment can be loaded with a rich demographic and landscape thematic map, etc.)

Applications created by developers using geoenrichment data can now use the Databrowser component. This component simplifies the process of discovering geoenrichment variables in a program or collection variable used to generate a report.

When using the Web map improvements

At this release anew property editable in Optionson method Createmap wasintroduced. When supporting non-editing workflows, this would override Layersthat would has otherwise been editable and allow the Feat Urelayers in a Web mapto load using generalized geometry instead of loading detailed geometries forediting purposes.

Developersconsuming web maps would be able to leverage performance enhancements at thisrelease due to internal optimization s which intelligently load modules basedupon a Web map configuration when using the module esri/arcgis/utils, and the Crea Temap Methodwhen Hydrating Web maps.

Faster Application Loading

Faster program loading

Many performanceenhancements were introduced into the standard and compact builds at Thisrelease. These changes would allow users of the compact and standard build Toleverage the most frequently used modules resulting in Overall performance whenloading the compact and standard versions of the JavaScript API.

For bestperformance with Web map, please re-save any existing web maps. To does this,simply open the Web map in the Viewer and then click "Save". This willupdate them to the latest version which would benefit the loading of yourapplications.

Web Optimizer Changes Andenhancements

Enhanced and changed Web Optimizer

• More optimizations to minimize download size when ' only include built layer files and resources ' is checked.
• New advanced option to select locales for custom builds.
• Users now receive links to builds in email notifications.
• Additional Help Topics of Using a custom build and accessing the build report.

Measurement Widget Enhancements

Enhanced Measurement components

New Developerevents and methods to support interacting with geometries during the life cycleof the measurement widget,acce Ssing the current tool, and current units. Fixed Issues for Developers whenusing The measurement widget inapplications and services containing coordinate systems OTH ER than WGS84 andweb Mercator.

Driving Direction Enhancements

Enhanced driving routes

The Directionsprint window includes an overview map of the route as long as you either usethe ArcGIS Online Route Service or specify a printtaskurl.

Labelling improvements

Improvements to labeling

The Map class has a new constructoroption showlabels toindicate whether to automatically display labels. If true, any feature layeradded to the map would automatically be labelled based on the feature layer ' slabelinginfo and the Layer ' s own showlabels status.

The Labellayer have beenimproved with to work with domain values, better support for field names Containingnon-ascii Charac ters, better label placements, support label placements using ' always-horizontal ' style, and to work better with Time-aware Data.

Developer enhancements for Dealingwith projecting features

New methods Fordevelopers to easily (a) check if client-side projection is possible (canproject) and (b) Project geometries (without using geometry service).

var pt = Point (0, 0),//a geographic point.
Result
if (Webmercatorutils.canproject (PT, map)) {
Returns Trueif the ' source ' can be projected to ' target ' by the project () function, or Ifsource and target is the same Spatialreference.
result = Webmercatorutils.project (pt, map);
}
else{
Cannotproject Client-side, use Geometryservice
}

Enhancements to infotemplate custom functions

Developers nowhave the ability to use custom format functions within Infotemplate to useoptions like the built-in format F Unctions. This can is useful when you arereusing a formatting function with different options.

CustomFormat = function (value, key, data, options) {
if (options.currency = = = "CAD") {
return Dojocurrency.format (Value * 1.1260, options);
}
else if (options.currency = = = "EUR") {
return Dojocurrency.format (Value * 1.25140, options);
}
else{
return Dojocurrency.format (value, options);
}
}

Infotemplate.settitle ("${name}, ${state_name}");
Infotemplate.setcontent ("<b>total (EUR): </b>${avg_sale97:customformat (Currency: ' EUR ', places: ' 2 ')} <br/> "+
"<b>total (CAD): </b>${avg_sale97:customformat (Currency: ' CAD ', Places: ' 2 ')}<br/>" +
"<b>total (USD): </b>${avg_sale97:customformat (Currency: ' USD ', places: ' 2 ')}<br/>");
