Class: CartographicLineSymbol
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.symbols.CartographicLineSymbol")
Description
(Added at v1.0)
Line symbols are used to draw linear features on the graphics layer. CartographicLineSymbol, like SimpleLineSymbol, is either a solid line or a predefined pattern of dashes and dots. Line joins and line caps can be added to further define the line symbol.
Explore the CartographicLineSymbol in the ArcGIS Symbol Playground. This is a place to explore and learn how to work with various properties and methods before implementing it into custom code. Try out new features, customize them, and copy the generated code into your own application. This sample provides a starting point so as to allow use of these features as quickly as possible.Samples

Constructor Details
Creates a new empty CartographicLineSymbol object.
Sample:
var cls = new esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol();
Creates a new CartographicLineSymbol object with parameters.
Parameters:
< |
Optional | See Constants table for values. |
< |
Optional | Symbol color. |
< |
Optional | Width of the line in pixels. |
< |
Optional | See Constants table for values. |
< |
Optional | See Constants table for values. |
< |
Optional | Size threshold for showing mitered line joins. |
Sample:
var cls = new esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol(esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.Color([255,0,0]), 10, esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.CAP_ROUND, esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.JOIN_MITER, 5);
Creates a new CartographicLineSymbol object using a JSON object.
Parameters:
< |
Required | JSON object representing the CartographicLineSymbol. View the Symbol Objects (Common data types in ArcGIS) for details on creating a JSON symbol. Note that when specifying symbol width and height using JSON the values should be entered in points, the JavaScript API then converts the point values to pixels. |
