    Detailed Description

    Graphics are used to represent temporary data that exists for the lifetime of the application. For example, you can:

    • Show updated locations for objects in the map view, such as moving vehicles.
    • Display results from an analysis, geocoding, or routing operation.
    • Allow the user to draw temporary sketches on top of the map.
    • Store user input, such as a set of route stops to visit.
    • Show ad hoc text labels to describe things on the map.

    To display a graphic, add it to a GraphicsOverlay::graphics collection and add the graphics overlay to your map view or scene view.

    Each graphic has a geometry describing its location and shape. To maximize performance, the geometry should have the same SpatialReference as the map view or scene view to which it is added. If the geometry has a different SpatialReference, it will be reprojected on-the-fly. This can be computationally expensive when displaying a large number of graphics.

    A graphic can have an associated Symbol that defines the graphic's appearance. Alternatively, the GraphicsOverlay can be assigned a Renderer that determines the appearance of all graphics in the overlay. If a graphic has an associated symbol, the symbol will override the overlay's renderer for the graphic's display. The symbol used depends on the geometry type associated with the graphic. A MarkerSymbol is used for Point and Multipoint geometries, a SimpleLineSymbol for Polyline geometries, and a SimpleFillSymbol for Polygon or Envelope geometries.

    You can select or deselect graphics (isSelected), change the visibility of a graphic (isVisible), and manage the order in which they are displayed (zIndex).

    Each graphic can have a collection of attributes (as key-value pairs) to provide more information.

    Example:

    Create a graphic based on a point:

    Point point(-117, 34);
    SimpleMarkerSymbol* simpleMarker = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbolStyle::Circle, QColor(Qt::black), 12.0, this);
    QVariantMap attr;
    attr["region"] = "Southern California";
    Graphic* graphic = new Graphic(point, attr, simpleMarker, this);

    [override virtual] Graphic::~Graphic()

    Destructor.

    [override virtual] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::AttributeListModel *Graphic::attributes() const

    Reimplements: GeoElement::attributes() const.

    Gets the attributes of the GeoElement as a collection of name/value pairs.

    [override virtual] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry Graphic::geometry() const

    Reimplements: GeoElement::geometry() const.

    Returns the geometry that defines the shape and location of the GeoElement.

    See also setGeometry().

    [signal, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.2.1] void Graphic::geometryChanged()

    Signal emitted when the geometry is changed.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.2.1.

    See also GeoElement.

    Esri::ArcGISRuntime::GraphicsOverlay *Graphic::graphicsOverlay() const

    bool Graphic::isSelected() const

    Returns true if the graphic is selected, false otherwise.

    bool Graphic::isVisible() const

    Returns true if the graphic is visible, false otherwise.

    [override virtual] void Graphic::setGeometry(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &geometry)

    Reimplements: GeoElement::setGeometry(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &geometry).

    See also geometry.

    void Graphic::setSelected(bool value)

    Sets the graphic's selected state to value.

    See also isSelected.

    void Graphic::setSymbol(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Symbol *symbol)

    Sets the symbol of the graphic to symbol.

    See also symbol.

    void Graphic::setVisible(bool value)

    Sets the graphic's visible state to value.

    See also isVisible().

    void Graphic::setZIndex(int value)

    Sets the zIndex to value.

    See also zIndex.

    Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Symbol *Graphic::symbol() const

    Defines the graphic's appearance when displayed in a map view or scene view.

    For graphics to appear in a map view or scene view, they must have a Symbol or be added to a graphics overlay that has a renderer assigned. A Symbol defines the properties used to display the graphic, such as color, outline, size, and style. There are many different types of symbols, such as SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleLineSymbol, and SimpleFillSymbol. The symbol type must match the GeometryType of the graphic. For example, a FillSymbol is used with graphics that are based on polygon geometry. The rendering of a graphic's symbol takes precedence over the Renderer that may be set on the GraphicsOverlay.

    See also setSymbol().

    int Graphic::zIndex() const

    Defines the draw order of a graphic. Graphics with higher Z-index values are drawn on top of lower Z-index graphics.

    A graphic's Z-index is mostly relevant for display in a two-dimensional map view. For dynamic 3D rendering (in a scene view), graphic display order is determined by the distance to the camera rather than by Z-index. The Z-index is considered, however, when using static rendering in a scene view (draping graphics on the surface, in other words).

    If Z-index is not set, graphics will usually render in the order in which they were added to the graphics overlay, the first added is rendered first and subsequent ones on top. In rare cases, the rendering algorithm may change the display order to provide more efficient rendering. If ordering is important, set the Z-index explicitly on graphics. You can also place graphics of the same geometry type in their own graphics overlay and manage the order of the overlays in the MapView or SceneView.

    See also setZIndex().

    [since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 200.2] bool Graphic::operator!=(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Graphic *other) const

    See also Graphic::operator==.

    bool Graphic::operator==(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Graphic *other) const

    Equivalency operator.

    Graphics are only equal if they are the same instance. Different graphic instances with identical attributes will not compare equal.

    Returns true if this and other are the same graphic.
