Customize zoom box

Description

This sample demonstrates how you can change the default symbol of the zoom rectangle that appears when you press Shift while clicking and dragging the mouse. You can define any fill symbol as the zoomSymbol in esriConfig, as shown in this line:

esriConfig.defaults.map.zoomSymbol = {"color":[255,255,255,127],"outline":{"color":[255,0,0,255],"width":1.5,"style":"esriSLSDash"},"style":"esriSFSSolid"};
