Constructors
| Constructor | Description |
|---|---|
| new esri.geometry.Point(x,y,spatialReference) | Creates a new Point object using x, y, and a spatial reference. At version 3.3 if a spatial reference is not provided a default spatial reference of 4326 will be assigned. |
| new esri.geometry.Point([x,y],spatialReference) | Creates a new Point object using an array containing an x,y coordinate value and a spatial reference. At version 3.3 if a spatial reference is not provided a default spatial reference of 4326 will be assigned. |
| new esri.geometry.Point(json) | Creates a new Point object using a JSON object. |
| new esri.geometry.Point(long,lat) | Create a point object and initialize it with the specified longitude and latitude. |
| new esri.geometry.Point(point) | Create a point object and initialize it with an array containing longitude and latitude values. |
| new esri.geometry.Point(point) | Create a point object and initialize it with an object that has latitude and longitude properties. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
