Style graphics with renderer

View on GitHub

A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in a graphics overlay by referencing a single symbol style. A renderer will only affect graphics that do not specify their own symbol style.

Screenshot of style graphics with renderer sample

Use case

A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in an overlay by only changing one copy of the symbol. For example, a user may wish to display a number of graphics on a map of parkland which represent trees, all sharing a common symbol.

How to use the sample

Pan and zoom on the map to view graphics for points, lines, and polygons (including polygons with curve segments), which are stylized using renderers.

How it works

  1. Create a Graphic, specifying only a Geometry.
  2. Create a GraphicsOverlay with the graphic.
  3. Create a Symbol such as a SimpleMarkerSymbol.
  4. Create a renderer with SimpleRenderer(symbol:), passing in a Symbol.
  5. Set the renderer for the graphics overlay.
