simple (hopefully) offset marker pin

adrian.marsden_DevonCC

Hi

I'm using

var IDsymbol = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol('URL', 20, 34);
var graphic = new esri.Graphic(evt.mapPoint, IDsymbol);
map.graphics.add(graphic);

to add a Pin marker (like a Google one) where an identify request is made - but I want to offset the image, so the point of the pin is where the click was - I've had some quick goes at changing this but can't get it.

Cheers

Not sure I quite understand, but I usually set the offset to half the height, so that the bottom of the marker, usually a pointer or flag will be at the actual x/y of the graphic.

var pm_sym = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol({
          url: "images/stop-sign_alt.png",
          height: 26,
          width: 24,
          yoffset: 26 / 2,
          type: "esriPMS"
        });

When the marker is scaled, i.e. the width and height passed in to PictureMarkerSymbol is not the same as the source image's width and height, which is being "offsetted"?  To achieve the effect above, should I pass in yoffset = half the height being supplied, or half the height of the source png file?

Thanks,
