Add graphics with symbols

View inC++QMLView on GitHubSample viewer app

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

screenshot

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

Pan and zoom around the map. Observe the graphics on the map.

How it works

This sample creates a GraphicsOverlay for various types of graphic elements like, a Point, Line and Polygon graphic. It then adds a point, line, polygon and text graphic with individual symbols of type SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleLineSymbol, SimpleFillSymbol and TextSymbol respectively.

  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.

Additional information

To set a symbol style across a number of graphics (e.g. showing trees as graphics sharing a symbol in a park), see the "Add graphics with renderer" sample.
