Add graphics with renderer

View on GitHubSample viewer app

A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in a graphics overlay by referencing a single symbol style. A renderer will only effect graphics that do not specify their own symbol style.

Image of adding graphics with renderer

Use case

A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in an overlay by only changing one copy of the symbol. For example, a user may wish to display a number of graphics on a map of parkland which represent trees, all sharing a common symbol.

How to use the sample

Run the sample and view graphics for points, lines, and polygons, which are stylized using renderers.

How it works

  • Create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the MapView.
  • Create a Graphic, specifying only a Geometry.
  • Create a single Symbol such as a SimpleMarkerSymbol.
  • Create a renderer with the Symbol such as a SimpleRenderer(symbol).
  • Set the renderer on the GraphicsOverlay with graphicsOverlay.setRenderer(renderer).

Relevant API

  • CubicBezierSegment
  • EllipticArcSegment
  • Geometry
  • Graphic
  • GraphicsOverlay
  • MutablePart
  • PolygonBuilder
  • PolylineBuilder
  • SimpleFillSymbol
  • SimpleLineSymbol
  • SimpleMarkerSymbol
  • SimpleRenderer

Additional information

To set unique symbols across a number of graphics (e.g. showing graphics of individual landmarks) see the "Add graphics with symbols" sample.
