I'm trying to utilize the esri.layers.ImageParameters - constructor and the mapservice.exportMapImage but I'm having trouble figuring out where my image is saving and how I can grab it. Can someone take a look at my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong or possibly what I need to add. I think I'm close.Here's my code in my JavaScript that is doing the work
function createpdf1() {
//Show progress bar page while waiting
pdfresultframe.document.location.href = "progressbar.html"
//making the <div...> or framelayer active/visible: functionpdf3
activateFunction('pdf3')
//populate figsize value in pdform in map.asp file
pagesize = document.pdfform.figsize.value
//populate orientation value in pdform in map.asp file
orientation = document.pdfform.orientation.value
//populate resolution value in pdform in map.asp file
resolution = document.pdfform.resolution.value
//populate printoption value in pdform in map.asp file
printoption = document.pdfform.printoption.value
//populate layoutstyle value in pdform in map.asp file
layoutstyle = document.pdfform.layoutstyle.value
//Class hierarchy = esri.layers.ImageParameters - constructor
//Creates a new ImageParameters object. The constructor takes no parameters
//http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm
figuresettings = new esri.layers.ImageParameters()
//Set image formate property could be png | png8 | png24 | jpg | pdf | bmp | gif | svg
figuresettings.format = "jpg"
//set width property Requested image width in pixels
figuresettings.width = width * resolution
//set height property Requested image width in pixels
figuresettings.height = height * resolution
//set Dots per inch setting for an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayers
figuresettings.dpi = resolution
if (printoption == "honorscale") {
theOriginalWidth = map.width/96
theOriginalHeight = map.height/96
if ((width/height) > (theOriginalWidth/theOriginalHeight)) {
theFactor = height/theOriginalHeight
}
else {
theFactor = width/theOriginalWidth
}
theOriginalExtent = map.extent
theNewExtent = theOriginalExtent.expand(theFactor)
figuresettings.bbox = theNewExtent
}
//exportMapImage - IMapImage exportMapImage(IMapDescription mapDesc,IImageDescription imageDesc)
// Use ExportMapImage to retrieve a file (image or vector format) of the map.
//ExportMapImage to generate an image of the map.The input parameter MapDescription
//contains properties
//http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/mapimage.htm
mapservice.exportMapImage(figuresettings,createpdf2)
}
//Use IMapImage to access properties of an ExportMapImage result.
function createpdf2(mapImage) {
document.pdfform.mapimagehref.value = mapImage.href //URL to returned image.
document.pdfform.printscale.value = mapImage.scale ///Scale of requested dynamic map.
document.pdfform.submit() // Javascript to submit form / submit call
}
In my map.asp page I'm populating a form, here is where I will send my values
<form name="pdfform" method="post" action="createpdf.asp" target="pdfresultframe"> <!--declaring form name and asp action-->
<input type="hidden" name="mapImagehref" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="printscale" value="">
I guess my question is: is do I actually set the mapimage.href URL and the mapImage.scale info or is this defaulted somehow. I feel like I'm so close but I'm so confused.ThanksDavid Ashton
