Code examples

getBestMap

Returns a map with the minimum extent that contains all the circles, polygons, lines, and markers specified in the object MapImageOptions. By default, there is a small buffer around all the objects. If you want the default extent of the data source, send a request without any circles, polygons, lines, or markers.

Endpoint URL

http://www.arcwebservices.com/services/v2006/MapImage

Input

Name	Type	Valid values
mapImageOptions	MapImageOptions	MapImageOptions parameters
bufferPercent	double	Percentage to expand the minimum extent. For example, "110" expands the minimum extent by 110%. "100" is based on a recommend default that adds a small amount of padding to the minimum bounding box enclosing all the shapes. "0" gives no padding and "200" gives twice as much padding as the 100% default.
token	string	Authentication token

Output

Code examples
