ObservationRenderer Property

ESRI.ArcGIS.Client Namespace > TemporalRenderer Class : ObservationRenderer Property

Gets or sets the default set of symbology for features in a time-based layer.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property ObservationRenderer As IRenderer
C# 
public IRenderer ObservationRenderer {get; set;}

Remarks

This default symbology of the ObservationRenderer Property can be overridden by the LatestObservationRenderer and the TrackRenderer to provide additional ways to graphically represent the features that are returned from a FeatureLayer. While it is theoretically possible to have any Renderer that Implements the IRenderer Interface be used as the ObservationRenderer Property, it typically makes sense to only use a SimpleRenderer, ClassBreaksRenderer, or UniqueValueRenderer.

By using a SimpleRenderer for the ObservationRenderer property you are assured that each feature returned from the service will be drawn on the map provided you have not exceeded the service limit. When using a ClassBreaksRenderer as the ObservationRenderer Property, if you do not specify all of the ClassBreakInfo objects to cover all of the data observation possibilities (i.e. features returned) then those features for which there is no ClassBreakInfo will not be rendered (i.e. drawn) unless a ClassBreaksRenderer.DefaultSymbol is set.

The following screen shot depicts an image of earthquakes locations from January 15, 1970 to January 15, 2009 for which at least one death occurred. Only the ObservationRenderer Property is used in the TemporalRenderer. The ObservationRenderer Property is based upon a ClassBreaksRender where the earthquake points are drawn based upon their Magnitude. The map is centered over North and South America. The yellow markers denote medium earthquakes (Magnitude 4 to 6), the black markers denote large earthquakes (Magnitude 6 to 8), and the red markers denote enormous earthquakes (Magnitude 8 to 10). A default symbol of a green square is provided to draw all earthquakes that are not defined by the other classes. The screen shot matches the code example provided in this documentation page.

Earthquakes in the Americas.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
  
  <!--
  Display the FeatureLayer in myMap2 that has a TemporalRenderer applied:
          
  Add an ArcGISTiledMapsServiceLayer as a background to the map. The ArcGISTiledMapsServiceLayer 
  layer is first Layer added to the Map's Layers Collection and is drawn on the bottom. A FeatureLayer 
  is then added to the map and draws on top of the background layer.
          
  Set the Map2 Extent to zoom to the North and South America.
          
  Setting the Map's TimeExtent acts like a Where clause in that only those features/records that fall
  within the set TimeExtent will then be shown. In the case of this example the TimeExtent for the 
  earthquakes is shortened to a smaller temporal window to display the various rendering effects clearly.
          
  Manually setting the TimeExtent of the Map2. Could have bound to a TimeSlider for more interactiveness.

    The FeatureLayer contains earthquake events data from the USGS as Markers (aka. Points). 
                
    The Where clause for the FeatureLayer is optional. The Where clause is necessary when more that 
    500/1000 records returned. In ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 and prior, the default maximum is 500 records 
    returned per FeatureLayer. In ArcGIS Server 10 the default is 1000. This setting is configurable 
    per map service using ArcCatalog or ArcGIS Server Manager (on the Parameters tab). This Where
    clause only displays earthquakes where one or more deaths have occurred.
