View on GitHubSample viewer app

Show a simple marker symbol on a map.

Image of simple marker symbol

Use case

Customize the appearance of a point suitable for the data. For example, a point on the map styled with a circle could represent a drilled borehole location, whereas a cross could represent the location of an old coal mine shaft.

How to use the sample

The sample loads with a predefined simple marker symbol, set as a red circle.

How it works

  1. Create an instance of AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol.
  2. Create an AGSGraphic passing in an AGSPoint and the simple marker symbol as parameters.
  3. Add the graphic to the AGSGraphicsOverlay.
