Property Overview

Property Details

angle Number inherited

The angle of the marker relative to the screen in degrees.

Known Limitations

This property is currently not supported in 3D SceneViews.

Default Value:0

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

height Numberautocast

Autocasts from Number|String

The height of the image in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

The maximum allowed height of a picture marker symbol is 200px. If you set any value higher than 200px, then the image will be scaled down to a height of 200px while preserving the aspect ratio of the image.

Default Value:12

Examples:

// height in points
symbol.height = 14;

// height in pixels
symbol.height = "20px";

// height in points
symbol.height = "14pt";

type Stringreadonly

The symbol type.

For PictureMarkerSymbol the type is always "picture-marker".

url String

The URL to an image or SVG document. To avoid CORS issues with this symbol, do one of the following:

• Make certain that the image is hosted on a CORS enabled server.
• Use an image hosted on the same domain as the application.
• Install a proxy.

Known Limitations

• Using this property to render SVG documents as images is not supported in IE11.
• SVG documents must include a definition for width and height to load properly in Firefox.
• Animated gif/png images are not supported. See the Custom WebGL layer view sample to learn how to accomplish this using WebGL.

Examples:

symbol.url = "cat-1-hurricane.png";

// render SVG document as a PictureMarkerSymbol
symbol.url = "logo.svg";

width Numberautocast

Autocasts from Number|String

The width of the image in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

The maximum allowed width of a picture marker symbol is 200px. If you set any value higher than 200px, then the image will be scaled down to a width of 200px while preserving the aspect ratio of the image.

Default Value:12

Examples:

// height in points
symbol.height = 14;

// height in pixels
symbol.height = "20px";

// height in points
symbol.height = "14pt";

xoffset Numberautocast inherited

Autocasts from Number|String

The offset on the x-axis in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value:0

Examples:

// xoffset in points
symbol.xoffset = 4;

// xoffset in pixels
symbol.xoffset = "2px";

// xoffset in points
symbol.xoffset = "4pt";

yoffset Numberautocast inherited

Autocasts from Number|String

The offset on the y-axis in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value:0

Examples:

// yoffset in points
symbol.yoffset = 4;

// yoffset in pixels
symbol.yoffset = "2px";

// yoffset in points
symbol.yoffset = "4pt";

Method Overview

Method Details

clone(){PictureMarkerSymbol}

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns:

Type	Description
PictureMarkerSymbol	A 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

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from a product in the ArcGIS platform. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter:

json Object A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns:

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

toJSON(){Object}inherited

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for more information.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
