Class: esri/symbols/CIMSymbol
Inheritance: CIMSymbol Symbol Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12
beta

CIM symbols are used to display multi-layer vector symbols for features and graphics in MapView. CIM symbols can be created from CIMSymbolReference JSON that complies with the CIM specification by passing the JSON to the data property or from WebStyleSymbols

This module is currently in beta. Not all properties in the CIM specification are supported.

Known Limitations

  • Currently, only CIMPointSymbol for Point geometry is supported.
  • curvedRings is not currently supported.
  • Currently, color property expects an array of numbers [r, g, b, a] which is different from the CIM Specification.
  • Currently, bold and italic fontStyles are not supported.
  • PrimitiveOverrides does not work on all the properties

Method Details

clone(){CIMSymbol}

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns:
TypeDescription
CIMSymbolA deep clone of the object that invoked this method.
Example:
// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's symbol
var symLyr = graphic.symbol.clone();
fromJSON(json){*}static
