Add a point, line, and polygon | ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET

Learn how to display point, line, and polygon graphics A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more in a map A map is a collection of layers that are displayed in 2D. It is typically composed of a basemap layer and data layers. Learn more .

add a point line and polygon

You typically use graphics A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more to display geographic data that is not connected to a database and that is not persisted, like highlighting a route between two locations, displaying a search buffer around a selected point, or showing the location of map coordinates entered by the user. Graphics are composed of a geometry A geometry is a geometric shape, such as a point, polyline, or polygon, that contains one or more coordinates and a spatial reference. Learn more , symbol A symbol defines the properties used to display a geometry or text. Learn more , and attributes Attributes are fields and values for a single feature or non-spatial record. They are typically stored in a database or service such as a feature service. Learn more .

In this tutorial, you display points, lines, and polygons on a map as graphics A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more .

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial:

You need an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.
Ensure your development environment meets the system requirements.

Optionally, you may want to install the ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET to get access to project templates in Visual Studio (Windows only) and offline copies of the NuGet packages.

Develop or download

You have two options for completing this tutorial:

Option 1: Develop the code or
Option 2: Download the completed solution

Option 1: Develop the code

To start the tutorial, complete the Display a map tutorial. This creates a map to display the Santa Monica Mountains in California using the topographic basemap from the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service The ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, also referred to as the Basemap Styles service, is a location service that provides basemap styles and data for the world. It returns styles as Mapbox styles and web maps, and data as vector tiles and/or map tiles. It supports all of the styles in the ArcGIS Basemap style and Open Basemap style family. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the service. Learn more .

Open a Visual Studio solution

Open the Visual Studio solution you created by completing the Display a map tutorial.
Continue with the following instructions to display point, line, and polygon graphics in the map view.

Update the tutorial name used in the project (optional)

The Visual Studio solution, project, and the namespace for all classes currently use the name DisplayAMap. You can rename these if you prefer them to reflect the current tutorial. Renaming is not required, your code will still work if you keep the original name.

The tutorial instructions and code use the name AddPointLineAndPolygon for the solution, project, and namespace. You can choose any name you like, but it should be the same for each of these.

Update the name for the solution and the project.
- In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution name and choose Rename. Provide the new name for your solution.
- In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name and choose Rename. Provide the new name for your project.
Rename the namespace used by classes in the project.
- In the Solution Explorer, expand the project node.
- Double-click MapViewModel.cs in the Solution Explorer to open the file.
- In the MapViewModel class, double-click the namespace name (DisplayAMap) to select it, and then right-click and choose Rename….
- Provide the new name for the namespace.
- Click Apply in the Rename: DisplayAMap window that appears in the upper-right of the code window. This will rename the namespace throughout your project.
Build the project.
- Choose Build > Build solution (or press <F6>).

Add a graphics overlay

A graphics overlay A graphics overlay is a client-side, temporary container of graphics to display on a map view or scene view. Learn more is a container for graphics A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more . It is used with a map view A map view is a user interface that displays map layers and graphics in 2D. It controls the area (extent) of the map that is visible and supports user interactions such as pan and zoom. Learn more to display graphics on a map A map is a collection of layers that are displayed in 2D. It is typically composed of a basemap layer and data layers. Learn more . You can add more than one graphics overlay A graphics overlay is a client-side, temporary container of graphics to display on a map view or scene view. Learn more to a map view A map view is a user interface that displays map layers and graphics in 2D. It controls the area (extent) of the map that is visible and supports user interactions such as pan and zoom. Learn more . Graphics overlays are displayed on top of all the other layers A layer is a reference to a collection of geographic data that is used to access and display data. The data for layers are typically provided by the basemap layer service and data services. Learn more .

In the Visual Studio > Solution Explorer, double-click MapViewModel.cs to open the file.

The project uses the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern to separate the application logic (view model) from the user interface (view). MapViewModel.cs contains the view model class for the application, called MapViewModel. See the Microsoft documentation for more information about the Model-View-ViewModel pattern.

Add additional required using statements to your MapViewModel class. Esri.ArcGISRuntime.UI namespace contains the Graphic class and Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Symbology namespace contains the classes that define the symbols for displaying them.

Use data binding to bind the GraphicsOverlays property of the MapViewModel to the MapView control.

Data binding and the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern allow you to separate the logic in your app (the view model) from the presentation layer (the view). Graphics can be added and removed from the graphics overlays in the view model and those changes appear in the map view through data binding.

Add a point graphic

A point graphic A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more is created using a map point A geometry is a geometric shape, such as a point, polyline, or polygon, that contains one or more coordinates and a spatial reference. Learn more and a marker symbol A symbol defines the properties used to display a geometry or text. Learn more . A map point is defined with x and y coordinates and a spatial reference A spatial reference is a set of parameters, typically defined by a WKID, that define the coordinate system and spatial properties for geographic data. Applications use a spatial reference to correctly display the position of geographic data in a map or scene. Learn more . For latitude and longitude coordinates, the spatial reference is WGS84.

In the Visual Studio > Solution Explorer, double-click MapViewModel.cs to open the file.

In the CreateGraphicsOverlays function, add code to create a MapPoint and a SimpleMarkerSymbol. To create the MapPoint, provide longitude (x) and latitude (y) coordinates, and a SpatialReference. Use the SpatialReferences.Wgs84 static property.

Point graphics support a number of symbol types such as SimpleMarkerSymbol, PictureMarkerSymbol and TextSymbol. Learn more about Symbol in the API Reference documentation.

Add a line graphic

A line graphic A graphic is a visual element composed of a geometry, symbol, and attributes that is displayed on a map or scene. Learn more is created using a polyline A geometry is a geometric shape, such as a point, polyline, or polygon, that contains one or more coordinates and a spatial reference. Learn more and a line symbol A symbol defines the properties used to display a geometry or text. Learn more . A polyline is defined as a sequence of points.

Polylines have one or more distinct parts, and each part is a sequence of points. For a continuous line, you can use the Polyline constructor to create a polyline with just one part. To create a polyline with more than one part, use a PolylineBuilder.

Create a Polyline and a SimpleLineSymbol. To create the Polyline, provide an array of MapPoint as the constructor argument.

Line graphics support a number of symbol types such as SimpleLineSymbol and TextSymbol. Learn more about Symbol in the API Reference documentation.

Alternatively, you can download the tutorial solution, as follows.

Option 2: Download the solution

Click the Download solution link in the right-hand panel of the page.
Unzip the file to a location on your machine.
Open the .sln file in Visual Studio.

Since the downloaded solution does not contain authentication credentials, you must first set up authentication to create credentials, and then add the developer credentials to the solution.

Set up authentication

To access the secure ArcGIS location services ArcGIS Location Services, also referred to as Location Services, are services hosted by Esri that provide geospatial functionality for developing mapping applications. They include the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, ArcGIS Static Basemap Tiles service, ArcGIS Places service, ArcGIS Geocoding service, ArcGIS Routing service, ArcGIS GeoEnrichment service, and ArcGIS Elevation service. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the services. Learn more used in this tutorial, you must implement API key authentication API key authentication is a type of authentication that uses an API key to authenticate requests to ArcGIS services and secure portal items. Learn more or user authentication User authentication is a type of authentication that allows users with an ArcGIS account to sign into an application and allow it to access ArcGIS content, services, and resources on their behalf. The typical authorization protocol used is OAuth2.0. Learn more using an ArcGIS Location Platform An ArcGIS Location Platform account, formerly known as an ArcGIS Developer account, is an identity associated with an ArcGIS Location Platform subscription.

To complete this tutorial, click on the tab in the switcher below for your authentication type of choice, either API key authentication or User authentication.

Create a new API key access token An access token is an authorization string that provides access to secure ArcGIS content, data, and services. Its capabilities are determined by the privileges it supports. It is obtained by implementing API key authentication, User authentication, or App authentication. Learn more with privileges Privileges are a set of permissions assigned to ArcGIS accounts, developer credentials, and applications that grant access to secure resources and functionality in ArcGIS. Learn more to access the secure resources used in this tutorial.

Complete the Create an API key tutorial and create an API key with the following privilege(s) Privileges are a set of permissions assigned to ArcGIS accounts, developer credentials, and applications that grant access to secure resources and functionality in ArcGIS. Learn more :
- Privileges
  - Location services > Basemaps
Copy and paste the API key access token into a safe location. It will be used in a later step.

Create new OAuth credentials to access the secure resources used in this tutorial.

Complete the Create OAuth credentials for user authentication tutorial to obtain a Client ID and Redirect URL.

A Client ID uniquely identifies your app on the authenticating server. If the server cannot find an app with the provided Client ID, it will not proceed with authentication.
The Redirect URL (also referred to as a callback url) is used to identify a response from the authenticating server when the system returns control back to your app after an OAuth login. Since it does not necessarily represent a valid endpoint that a user could navigate to, the redirect URL can use a custom scheme, such as my-app://auth. It is important to make sure the redirect URL used in your app’s code matches a redirect URL configured on the authenticating server.
Copy and paste the Client ID and Redirect URL into a safe location. They will be used in a later step.

All users that access this application need account privileges Privileges are a set of permissions assigned to ArcGIS accounts, developer credentials, and applications that grant access to secure resources and functionality in ArcGIS. Learn more to access the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service The ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, also referred to as the Basemap Styles service, is a location service that provides basemap styles and data for the world. It returns styles as Mapbox styles and web maps, and data as vector tiles and/or map tiles. It supports all of the styles in the ArcGIS Basemap style and Open Basemap style family.

Learn more , use the developer credentials that you created in the Set up authentication step to authenticate requests for resources.

In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, click App.xaml.cs to open the file.

Set the ArcGISEnvironment.ApiKey property with your API key access token.

App.xaml.cs

        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnStartup(e);

            // Set the access token for ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET.
            Esri.ArcGISRuntime.ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.ApiKey = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";

            // Call a function to set up the AuthenticationManager for OAuth.
            UserAuth.ArcGISLoginPrompt.RegisterOAuthConfig();

        }

Remove the code that sets up user authentication.
