dojo.require("esri.symbols.PictureFillSymbol")
Description
(Added at v1.0)
Fill symbols are used to draw polygon features on the graphics layer. PictureFillSymbol uses an image in a repeating pattern. In addition, the symbol can have an optional outline, which is defined by a line symbol.
Explore the PictureFillSymbol 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.
