Dear Runtime Team,
Below, I would like to share my thoughts about the new Runtime release and also ask about some new specific features.
1) Raster data support
It is great to see that no more World files are required to display GeoTiff and NITF files. Also, on-the-fly datum transformation and reprojection are now supported. It would be great, if you could add the latter to the documentation: Spatial references—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers
Probably, for the most of users, the list of supported formats is sufficient, but in my scenario, I would like to being able to consume METOC data i.e. GRIB, NetCDF and Drone Imagery as well. Thus, this is leading me to the following question:
a) Is there any option you consider adding Image Service capability to the Local Server? Being able to directly add/register new rasters to the shared mosaic dataset, bypassing mobile mosaic dataset, would be great advantage. Also, performing raster analysis using raster functions would be an another asset for the users. I suppose, at some point in the future, all of these would be supported natively. What are your plans for supporting more raster formats?
2) Geoprocessing
Can you provide any sample showing how to properly initialize FeatureCollectionTable in order to pass it to the GeoprocessingFeatures? Or, there is another, simpler option? Also, I am glad to see that resulting map service with raster data does not crash on my machine.
3) Symbols and renderers
a) What model formats , apart from .dae, are supported for ModelSceneSymbol?
b) Will you support Military Overlay point clustering/aggregation?
c) Will you open the rule engine specification for dictionary renderer, so developers could leverage their customs symbols within ArcGIS Runtime?
4) Layers
a) Will you support displaying shapefile? Default reprojection and retrieving field names are also very welcome.
b) What OGC layers (along with their capabilites) will be supported? I would be nice to have a WMS, WMTS and WFS fully support in ArcGIS Runtime.
Many thanks in advance for the answers,
Adam
