Multilayer
Multilayer Point symbol This is a point symbol with multiple layers. Each layer has its own properties, such as offset, anchor, and rotation, that can be combined to create a point symbol with special effects (concentric circles or a pushpin, for example). These symbols are rendered with point geometry.

Constructors
Creates a multilayer point symbol object with symbol layers and SymbolReferenceProperties.
Functions
Clones the MultilayerPointSymbol.
Creates a swatch of the symbol. This method will scale the symbol up or down in order to fit it in to the desired width and height of the swatch.
Creates a swatch of the symbol.
Properties
The angle in degrees. Angle for multilayer point symbols is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the east, from 0 to 360. The angle for a multilayer point symbol defaults to 0. Marker symbol layers can have a separate heading value defined (which is also 0 by default). Setting a heading for a marker symbol layer does not affect the angle of the point symbol. When an angle value is set for the point symbol, however, that value is applied cumulatively to all the marker symbol layers it contains. The heading for individual symbol layers must be re-fetched in order to see the updated value.
The symbol angle alignment of the multilayer point symbol. The angle alignment of the multilayer point symbol. Returns SymbolAngleAlignment.Map if an error occurs.
The consensus color of all layers in the symbol (excluding those that are color-locked). Because MultilayerSymbol may have multiple symbol layers, this property represents the value of all color and tint color properties of constituent symbol layers, excluding any StrokeSymbolLayer in a MultilayerPolygonSymbol, as those symbol layers are outlines. The property defines the color and tint color of symbols contained in VectorMarkerSymbolElement. Constituent symbol layers whose colorLocked property is true do not change color as a result of this function. To change outline colors, modify the outline symbol layer colors individually.
The symbol size in DIPs. When getting the size from a multilayer point symbol, the value reported is the largest size of all the symbol layers it contains. The symbol size is updated when its symbol layer sizes change (if there is a new largest layer size). When setting a new size at the point symbol level, the size of the largest symbol layer is given the provided value, and all the smaller layers are sized proportionately. An individual symbol layer can be given a specific size without affecting the other layers.
