Simple fill symbol

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Change a graphic's fill color, outline color, and fill style properties.

Image of simple fill symbol

Use case

Customize the appearance of a graphic with a color and style scheme suitable for the data. For example, a polygon with a brown 'forward-diagonal' fill style could represent an area of artificial ground mapped on a geological map.

How to use the sample

Use the drop down menus in the control panel to change the fill color, outline color and fill style of the polygon.

How it works

  1. Create a Polygon using a PointCollection to define its boundaries.
  2. Create a SimpleLineSymbol(SimpleLineSymbol.Style, color, width).
  3. Create a SimpleFillSymbol(SimpleFillSymbol.Style, color, outline).
  4. Set the color, outline and style of the simple fill symbol object with:
    • setColor();
    • setOutline(simpleLineSymbol);
    • setStyle();
  5. Create a new Graphic object, passing in the polygon and simple fill symbol as parameters, and add the graphic to the graphics overlay with graphicsOverlay.getGraphics().add(new Graphic(polygon, fillSymbol)).
