ESM: import PictureMarkerSymbol from "@arcgis/core/symbols/PictureMarkerSymbol.js";
Class: esri/symbols/PictureMarkerSymbol
Inheritance: PictureMarkerSymbolMarkerSymbolSymbolAccessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

PictureMarkerSymbol renders Point graphics in either a 2D MapView or 3D SceneView using an image. A url must point to a valid image. PictureMarkerSymbols may be applied to point features in a FeatureLayer or individual graphics. The image below depicts a FeatureLayer whose point features are styled with a PictureMarkerSymbol.

Known Limitations:

  • SVG documents must include a definition for width and height to load properly in Firefox.
  • Animated GIF and PNG images are not supported in 3D SceneView.
  • The height and width of the symbol is restricted to no more than 200px.
  • Animated SVG images are currently not supported.

To avoid CORS issues with this symbol, do one of the following:

Property Details

angle

Inherited
Property
angle Number
Inherited from MarkerSymbol

The angle of the marker relative to the screen in degrees.

Default Value:0

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

height

Property
height Numberautocast
Autocasts from Number|String

The height of the image in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

The maximum allowed height of a picture marker symbol is 200px. If you set any value higher than 200px, then the image will be scaled down to a height of 200px while preserving the aspect ratio of the image.

Default Value:12
Examples
// height in points
symbol.height = 14;
// height in pixels
symbol.height = "20px";
// height in points
symbol.height = "14pt";

type

Property
type Stringreadonly

The symbol type.

For PictureMarkerSymbol the type is always "picture-marker".

url

Property
url String

The URL to an image or SVG document. To avoid CORS issues with this symbol, do one of the following:

Known Limitations

  • SVG documents must include a definition for width and height to load properly in Firefox.
  • Animated GIF and PNG images are not supported in SceneView. See the Custom WebGL layer view sample to learn how to accomplish this using WebGL.
  • Animated SVG images are currently not supported.
Examples
symbol.url = "cat-1-hurricane.png";
// render SVG document as a PictureMarkerSymbol
symbol.url = "logo.svg";

width

Property
width Numberautocast
Autocasts from Number|String

The width of the image in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

The maximum allowed width of a picture marker symbol is 200px. If you set any value higher than 200px, then the image will be scaled down to a width of 200px while preserving the aspect ratio of the image.

Default Value:12
Examples
// height in points
symbol.height = 14;
// height in pixels
symbol.height = "20px";
// height in points
symbol.height = "14pt";

xoffset

Property
xoffset Numberautocast
Inherited from MarkerSymbol
Autocasts from Number|String

The offset on the x-axis in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value:0
Examples
// xoffset in points
symbol.xoffset = 4;
// xoffset in pixels
symbol.xoffset = "2px";
// xoffset in points
symbol.xoffset = "4pt";

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone

Method
clone(){PictureMarkerSymbol}

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns
Type Description
PictureMarkerSymbol A deep clone of the object that invoked this method.
Example
// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's symbol
let symLyr = graphic.symbol.clone();

fromJSON
