Property Overview

Property Details

angle Number inherited

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

Known Limitations

This property is currently not supported in 3D SceneViews.

Default Value:0

color Colorautocast

Autocasts from Object|number[]|string

The color of the symbol. This can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

The color property does not apply to marker symbols defined with the cross or x style. Since these styles are wholly comprised of outlines, you must modify the outline.color property to set the color of symbols with those styles.

Default Value:[255, 255, 255, 0.25] - white, semitransparent

Examples

// CSS color string
symbol.color = "dodgerblue";

// HEX string
symbol.color = "#33cc33";

// array of RGBA values
symbol.color = [51, 204, 51, 0.3];

// object with rgba properties
symbol.color = {
  r: 51,
  g: 51,
  b: 204,
  a: 0.7
};

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

outline SimpleLineSymbolautocast

The outline of the marker symbol. The color property of this object directly modifies the overall color of marker symbols defined with the cross or x style.

Known Limitations

SimpleLineSymbol style property is not honored in a simple marker symbol's outline in a 3D SceneView. Support for outline style was added in a 2D MapView at version 4.28.

Example

let sym = {
  type: "simple-marker",  // autocasts as new SimpleMarkerSymbol()
  color: "red",
  outline: {  // autocasts as new SimpleLineSymbol()
    color: [ 128, 128, 128, 0.5 ],
    width: "0.5px"
  }
};

path String

The SVG path of the icon.

Known Limitations

This property works only in 2D.

size Numberautocast

Autocasts from String|Number

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

Default Value:12

Examples

// size in points
symbol.size = 14;

// size in pixels
symbol.size = "20px";

// size in points
symbol.size = "14pt";

style String

The marker style. Possible values are in the table below.

Value	Description
circle
cross
diamond
square
triangle
x

Possible Values:"circle"|"square"|"cross"|"x"|"diamond"|"triangle"|"path"

Default Value:circle

type Stringreadonly

The symbol type.

For SimpleMarkerSymbol the type is always "simple-marker".

xoffset Numberautocast inherited

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";

yoffset Numberautocast inherited

Autocasts from Number|String

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

Default Value:0

Examples

// yoffset in points
symbol.yoffset = 4;

// yoffset in pixels
symbol.yoffset = "2px";

// yoffset in points
symbol.yoffset = "4pt";

Method Overview

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// 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(){SimpleMarkerSymbol}

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns

Type	Description
SimpleMarkerSymbol	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(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter

json Object A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter

groupKey * optional A group key.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Example

// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles(groupKey)inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter

groupKey * optional A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example

obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON(){Object}inherited

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
