# Interface PointCloudLayerJson

Point cloud data is post-processed spatially organized lidar data that consists of large collections of 3D points. Elevations for the ground, buildings, forest canopy, highway overpasses, and anything else encountered during the lidar survey make up the point cloud data. Point cloud layers allow for fast visualization of point cloud data in the browser.

See https://developers.arcgis.com/web-scene-specification/objects/pointCloudLayer/.

Properties

### `Optional` blendMode

blendMode?:
| "invert"
| "normal"
| "lighter"
| "multiply"
| "color"
| "average"
| "color-burn"
| "color-dodge"
| "darken"
| "destination-atop"
| "destination-in"
| "destination-out"
| "destination-over"
| "difference"
| "exclusion"
| "hard-light"
| "hue"

| "reflect"
| "saturation"
| "screen"
| "soft-light"
| "source-atop"
| "source-in"
| "source-out"
| "vivid-light"
| "xor"

Blend modes are used to blend layers together to create an interesting effect in a layer, or even to produce what seems like a new layer.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.blendMode

### `Optional` disablePopup

disablePopup?: boolean

Indicates whether to allow a client to ignore popups defined by the service item.

### `Optional` effect

effect?: EffectJson

Effect provides various filter functions to achieve different visual effects similar to how image filters (photo apps) work.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.effect

### `Optional` id

id?: string

A unique identifying string for the layer.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.id

### `Optional` layerDefinition

layerDefinition?: LayerDefinitionJson

A layerDefinition object defining the attribute schema and drawing information for the layer.

### layerType

layerType

The type of layer.

Overrides OperationalLayerJsonBase.layerType

### `Optional` listMode

listMode?: "show" | "hide" | "hide-children"

Indicates how the layer should display in the table of contents. The known values are listed below. See support/esri!ListMode.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.listMode

### `Optional` maxScale

maxScale?: number

A number representing the maximum scale at which the layer will be visible. The number is the scale's denominator; thus, a value of 2400 represents a scale of 1/2,400. A value of 0 indicates that the layer will be visible no matter how far you zoom in.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.maxScale

### `Optional` minScale

minScale?: number

A number representing the minimum scale at which the layer will be visible. The number is the scale's denominator; thus, a value of 2400 represents a scale of 1/2,400.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.minScale

### `Optional` opacity

opacity?: number

The degree of transparency applied to the layer on the client side, where 0 is full transparency and 1 is no transparency.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.opacity

### `Optional` popupInfo

popupInfo?: PopupInfoJson

A PopupInfo object defining the content of pop-up windows when you click or query a feature.

### `Optional` refreshInterval

refreshInterval?: number

When the refresh interval is set on a layer, the client must refresh that layer only, not the entire web map. The default value is '0', meaning the no refresh. You can enable a refresh interval on the following types of layers: ArcGIS Server web service, hosted feature layer, hosted tile layer, OGC WMS, OGS WMTS, tile layer, GeoRSS, Living Atlas layers, basemaps (including Bing Maps basemaps), CSV from the web with latitude and longitude fields, and KML when added to ArcGIS Online through the My Content page. See https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/set-refresh-interval.htm.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.refreshInterval

### `Optional` showLegend

showLegend?: boolean

Indicates whether to allow map authors the ability to control what layers should be shown in a client's legend.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.showLegend

### `Optional` title

title?: string

A user-friendly title for the layer that can be used in a table of contents. If this is not included, then a title is derived from the service.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.title

### `Optional` type

type?: LegacyOperationalLayerJsonType | LegacyBasemapLayerJsonType

(Deprecated, use layerType instead.) If the layer is referenced through a URL, but is not an ArcGIS web service, then this parameter can be supplied to denote the layer type.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.type

### `Optional` url

url?: string

URL to the ArcGIS Server Image Service.

### `Optional` visibility

visibility?: boolean

Determines whether the layer is initially visible in the web map.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.visibility

### `Optional` visibilityTimeExtent

visibilityTimeExtent?: [number, number]

Represents time extent that will control when a layer should be visible based on webmap's current time. Visibility time extent only affects the layer visibility and will not filter the data.

Inherited from OperationalLayerJsonBase.visibilityTimeExtent
