AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol Class Reference

Description

A marker symbol based on simple shapes.

Instances of this class represent simple marker symbols. Symbols describe how graphics or features look on the map. Different symbols are used with different geometry types. Marker symbols are used to display those graphics and features which are based on point or multipoint geometry. Simple marker symbols display simple, predefined markers such as circle, cross, etc. In addition, the markers can have an optional outline, which is defined by a line symbol.

Method Documentation

◆ createSwatchWithBackgroundColor:screen:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) createSwatchWithBackgroundColor: (nullable AGSColor *)  backgroundColor
screen: (nullable AGSScreen *)  screen
completion: (void(^)(AGSImage *__nullable swatch, NSError *__nullable error))  completion 

Creates swatch with provided background color.

Parameters
backgroundColorDesired background color of the image.
screenScreen that the swatch will be rendered for. If you specify nil then the main screen will be used.
completionA block that is invoked when the operation completes.
Since
100

◆ createSwatchWithCompletion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) createSwatchWithCompletion: (void(^)(AGSImage *__nullable swatch, NSError *__nullable error))  completion

Creates a swatch with a clear background color. This method uses main screen's scale to determine the size of the image.

Parameters
completionblock that is invoked when operation completes.
Since
100

◆ createSwatchWithGeometry:width:height:screen:backgroundColor:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) createSwatchWithGeometry: (AGSGeometry *)  geometry
width: (NSInteger)  width
height: (NSInteger)  height
screen: (nullable AGSScreen *)  screen
backgroundColor: (nullable AGSColor *)  backgroundColor
completion: (void(^)(AGSImage *__nullable swatch, NSError *__nullable error))  completion 

Creates a swatch using the provided geometry and other parameters. This is the most configurable of the methods to create swatches. You can pass the pixels per inch that you would like the image to be rendered at. This will determine how many pixels are used to render symbols of sizes that are specified in points.

Parameters
geometryThe geometry of the symbol to be drawn in the swatch image. The specified geometry is in DIPs, with the point {0,0} located at the center of the swatch image. The X-axis increases towards the right side of the swatch image. The Y-axis increases towards the top of the swatch image. For example: when creating a swatch for an AGSMarkerSymbol, specifying a geometry of {10,10} will draw the marker 10 DIPs up and to the right of the center of the swatch. The geometry type (AGSPoint, AGSPolyline, AGSPolygon) should correspond to the symbol type (AGSMarkerSymbol, AGSLineSymbol, AGSFillSymbol). The geometry's spatial reference is ignored.
widthDesired width of the image in pixels.
heightDesired height of the image in pixels.
screenThe screen that the swatch will be rendered for. If you specify nil then the main screen will be used.
backgroundColorThe desired background color of the image.
completionA block that is invoked when operation completes.

Property Documentation

◆ __deprecated

- (AGSSymbolRotationType rotationType) __deprecated
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

The rotation type of the marker symbol.

The default value is AGSSymbolRotationTypeArithmetic. This property is deprecated in release 100.5.

Since
100
Deprecated:
100.5 Will be removed in a future release. There is no other mechanism to specify the rotation type, but all angles are achievable by changing the value of the angle property.

Provided by category AGSMarkerSymbol(AGSDeprecated).

◆ angle

- (float) angle
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

The angle (in degrees) of the marker symbol.

Since
100

◆ angleAlignment

- (AGSSymbolAngleAlignment) angleAlignment
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Specifies whether the symbol should rotate with the map/scene or stay at the same angle with regards to the screen. Default is AGSSymbolAngleAlignmentScreen which keeps it aligned with the screen. Only supported for graphics overlays when AGSGraphicsOverlay::renderingMode is AGSGraphicsRenderingModeDynamic, and for feature layers when AGSFeatureLayer::renderingMode is AGSFeatureRenderingModeDynamic

Since
100

◆ color

- (AGSColor*) color
readwritenonatomicstrong

Color of the symbol

◆ leaderOffsetX

- (CGFloat) leaderOffsetX
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Specifies how to position a callout's leader in relation to the symbol (for example, when a user taps on the map to display a callout for the feature or graphic). Default value is 0 and the callout's leader is positioned at the horizontal center of the symbol. The values specified here are interpreted in a cartesian coordinate system and in points (not pixels). Thus, a value of -5 will offset the callout's leader left on the x-axis by 5 points

Since
100

◆ leaderOffsetY

- (CGFloat) leaderOffsetY
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Specifies how to position a callout's leader in relation to the symbol (for example, when a user taps on the map to display a callout for the feature or graphic). Default value is 0 and the callout's leader is positioned at the vertical center of the symbol. The values specified here are interpreted in a cartesian coordinate system and in points (not pixels). Thus, a value of -5 will offset the callout's leader down on the y-axis by 5 points

Since
100

◆ offsetX

- (CGFloat) offsetX
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Specifies how to position the symbol in relation to the graphic or feature's point geometry. This is useful when the marker needs to be offset to properly coincide with a location on the map.

Default value is 0 and the symbol is centered horizontally on the point geometry. The values specified are interpreted in a cartesian coordinate system. Thus, a value of -5 will shift the marker left by 5 points on the x-axis.

For example, consider an AGSPictureMarkerSymbol using the image of a pushpin. By default, the center of the image will be used as the anchor to center the image at the map location. However, if you wanted the needle of the pushpin to end at the map location, you would need to offset the image appropriately to make the needle's end coincide with the map location.

Since
100

◆ offsetY

- (CGFloat) offsetY
readwritenonatomicassigninherited

Specifies how to position the symbol in relation to the graphic or feature's point geometry. This is useful when the marker needs to be offset to properly coincide with a location on the map.

Default value is 0 and the symbol is centered vertically on the point geometry. The values specified are interpreted in a cartesian coordinate system. Thus, a value of -5 will shift the marker down by 5 points on the y-axis.

For example, consider an AGSPictureMarkerSymbol using the image of a pushpin. By default, the center of the image will be used as the anchor to center the image at the map location. However, if you wanted the needle of the pushpin to end at the map location, you would need to offset the image appropriately to make the needle's end coincide with the map location.
