KML Image (Map Service)

URL:: https://<mapservice-url>/kml/mapImage.kmz
Methods:: GET
Required Capability:: Map
Version Introduced:: 9.3

Description

An individual KML image resource represents a KML Region or ground overlay document wrapped in a KMZ file. KML Regions are returned for map services that are cached and use one of the following supported coordinate systems:

All geographic coordinate systems.
Coordinate systems with the following IDs:
- 102113
- 54001
- 54002
- 54003
- 54004
- 54016
- 54017
- 54034
- 53001
- 53002
- 53003
- 53004
- 53016
- 53017
- 53034

Ground overlays are created for map services that are not cached or are not in a coordinate system supported for KML Regions.

Request parameters

Parameter	Details
`dpi`	The device resolution of the exported image (dots per inch). If the `dpi` is not specified, an image with a default DPI of 96 will be exported. Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 dpi=200`
`format`	The format of the exported image. The default is `png` . Values: `png` \| `png8` \| `png24` \| `jpg` \| `pdf` \| `bmp` \| `gif` \| `svg`
`layerDefs`	Allows you to filter the features of individual layers in the exported map by specifying definition expressions for those layers. Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 //Example where layerId1 and layerId2 are the layer ids returned by the map service resource layerDefs=layerId1:layerDef1;layerId2:layerDef2` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 layerDefs=0:POP2000 > 1000000;5:AREA > 100000`
`layers`	Determines which layers appear on the exported map. There are four ways to specify which layers are shown: `show` : Only the layers specified in this list will be exported. `hide` : All layers except those specified in this list will be exported. `include` : In addition to the layers exported by default, the layers specified in this list will be exported. `exclude` : The layers exported by default excluding those specified in this list will be exported. Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 //Example where layerId1 and layerId2 are the layer ids returned by the map service resource layers=[show \| hide \| include \| exclude]:layerId1,layerId2` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 layers=show:2,4,7`

Example usage

The following is a sample request URL used to request a map service that is cached and in a supported projection:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
https://organization.example.com/<context>/rest/services/WaterTemplate/WaterDistributionNetwork/MapServer/kml/mapImage.kmz

The above URL would be the same for a map service that is not cached or uses an unsupported projection. The difference is that the returned KML document would include a ground overlay.
