Add graphics 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 add graphics 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 a parkland which represents 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

  1. Create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the MapView.
  2. Create a Graphic, specifying only a Geometry.
  3. Create a single Symbol such as a SimpleMarkerSymbol.
  4. Create a renderer with the Symbol such as a SimpleRenderer(symbol).
  5. Set the renderer on the GraphicsOverlay with graphicsOverlay.renderer = renderer.
