Example 8: Update definition: Optimize drawing of complex lines and polygons
http://services.myserver.com/OrgID/ArcGIS/rest/admin/services/example7/FeatureServer/1/updateDefinition
- The operation is only supported when the layer metadata has supportsMultiScaleGeometry=true and when async=true.
- The multi-scale geometry is supported on polyline and polygon data in any projection but it can be used only when the output projection is Mercator (102100).
- The Mercator levels of resolution are used when creating the multi-scale geometry. Supported generalization levels are [1-17].
- When editing or syncing the data, the multi-scale geometries are updated.
- At query time, we use the maxAllowedOffset or the quantization offset to determine the generalized geometry for that level. If the shape for the requested level does not exist, we use the closest generalized geometry. For instance, if the user requests level 5 geometry and it does not exist, we search for the next generalized geometry (6 or higher).
Example input (POST body)
- If you pass the levels AND/OR the minReductionFactor, we build the multi-scale geometries for these levels or when the difference between the actual geometry and the generalized geometry is greater than the minReductionFactor.
- We identify the first level to build based on the extent of the data. We try to find the level where the Mercator cell contains all the data.
- The minReductionFactor is between [0,1]. The default is 0.2.
Enable multi-scale geometry on a layer
{
"multiScaleGeometryInfo" : {
"levels" : [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
}
}
Or
{
"multiScaleGeometryInfo" : {
"levels" : [],
"minReductionFactor" : 0.1 // Optional : default 0.2
}
}
To disable multi-scale geometry.
{
"multiScaleGeometryInfo" : null
