Add graphics with symbols

Use a symbol style to display a graphic on a graphics overlay.

Use case

Allows you to customize a graphic by assigning a unique symbol. For example, you may wish to display individual graphics for different landmarks across a region, and to style each one with a unique symbol.

How to use the sample

Observe the graphics on the map.

How it works

1. Create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the MapView.
2. Create a Symbol such as SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleLineSymbol or SimpleFillSymbol.
3. Create a Graphic, specifying a Geometry and a Symbol.
4. Add the Graphic to the GraphicsOverlay.
