I am discovering Drawing tool of ArcGIS. The code of a widget looks as follows:

I am very new to ArcGIS, therefore my question might be simple. I wonder if it's possible to substitute the background map by some other image, for example, the layer that represents a floor in a building? I have this image available in JPEG format and it has global coordinates assigned to it. So, how can I substitute a map by this image? Should I update these lines of code?
map = new Map("map", {
basemap: "streets",
center: [-15.469, 36.428],
zoom: 3
});
Well, those background images are known as basemap in Gis term. ARCGIS js api provides multiple basemaps like topo, street, imagery etc.
To change the background/basemap you need to change the basemap keyword.
Example-
Change "streets" to "topo". It will change the basemap/background.
Note- you can try various types of basemaps which is available on arcgis api.
EDITED[30/May/2017]-
Here I am proposing you to use existing basemap provided by ESRI, However if you want to show your own images as backgroud/basemap then you need to publish/republish a basemap.
Hoping this will help you.
