Deprected: scene-inset-map

Scene with inset map is a configurable app template for visualizing web scenes with the inclusion of an inset map to help orient users, especially useful when viewing at larger scales.

Configurable Options

Select optional widgets, including a 3D measure tool Choose a color theme, and include a header and title Configure an information dialog that can be used as a splash screen to provide context about the map to your audience

Configuration Options

General options

appid: Application id that contains configured app properties

View comparision options

webscene: Web scene for the 3d map area.
webmap: Optionally specify a Web map for the 2d inset map panel.
useWebMap: Default value is false. When false the inset map uses the basemap value defined in insetBasemap. When true the webmap specified by webmap is used.
insetBasemap: Use this option to modify the basemap displayed in the inset map. By default the basemap for the 3d map is used.
insetExpand: Add an expand button to each map so users can quickly expand/collapse the inset map to view it full size.
splitDirection: horizontal|vertical When the insetExpand option is enabled this property defines how the 2d map and 3d map are displayed when in expanded mdoe. Horizontal displays maps side by side. Vertical stacks maps.
insetPosition: Valid values are top-left|top-right|bottom-left|bottom-right. The location on the 3d map where the inset map is displayed.The default value is bottom-left.

Splash or Info panel

Use these options to add a modal with descriptive info and/or a button with info to the app. The info/splash button is added to the title area of the app unless header is false. If header is false the button is added to the top-right corner of the first view.

splash: Add info button to the app
splashOnStart: Display the information as a splash screen when the app loads. Once the user closes the splash screen we write a property to session storage so the modal isn't displayed again during that session. When false the modal doesn't display and the info content is added as a button.

Use Cases

Present detailed 3D view of a mountainous region at a large scale and let the 2D map to provide an overview of where you are in the world Show a detailed 3D plan for new urban development and allow users to use the 2D map view for context.

Supported Devices

This application is responsively designed to support use in browsers on desktops, mobile phones, and tablets.

Data Requirements

This application has no data requirements.

Instructions

Download and unzip the .zip file or clone the repository.
Web-enable the directory.
Access the .html page.
Start writing your template!

New to Github? Get started here.

Deploying

To deploy this application, download the template from Portal/ArcGIS Online and unzip it.
Install npm and run npm install via command line then run npm run start.
Copy the unzipped folder containing the web app template files, such as index.html, to your web server. You can rename the folder to change the URL through which users will access the application. By default the URL to the app will be http://<Your Web Server>/<app folder name>/app/index.html
Change the sharing host, found in defaults.js inside the config folder for the application, to the sharing URL for ArcGIS Online or Portal. For ArcGIS Online users, keep the default value of www.arcgis.com or specify the name of your organization.

ArcGIS Online Example: "sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + “<your organization name>.maps.arcgis.com
Portal Example where arcgis is the name of the Web Adaptor: "sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + "webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis"

If you are using Portal or a local install of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, change all references to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in index.html to refer to your local copy of the API. Search for the references containing "//js.arcgis.com/3.13" and replace this portion of the reference with the url to your local install.

For example: "//webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis/jsapi/jsapi" where arcgis is the name of your Web Adaptor.

Copy a map or group ID from Portal/ArcGIS Online and replace the default web map ID in the application’s default.js file. You can now run the application on your web server or customize the application further.

Note: If your application edits features in a feature service, contains secure services or web maps that aren't shared publicly, or generate requests that exceed 200 characters, you may need to set up and use a proxy page. Common situations where you may exceed the URL length are using complex polygons as input to a task or specifying a spatial reference using well-known text (WKT). For details on installing and configuring a proxy page see Using the proxy. If you do not have an Internet connection, you will need to access and deploy the ArcGIS API for JavaScript documentation from developers.arcgis.com.

Requirements

Text or HTML editor.
A little background with JavaScript.
Experience with the ArcGIS JavaScript API would help.
