Can someone point me to complete working code (HTML and Javascript) that shows how to place predefined icons ( symbols) at a lat long?
I see code pieces that purport to do this, but without being inside working examples they are of little use to me.
We are trying to do a few things at once:
1) create simple icons with embedded text. The text will reflect data. In other words a circle, say, that has date and time info from a DB
2) Place these icons at specific known point; in this case an intersection of roads. We'll know the lat long at the start.
What I hope to get working is the creation of a small library of icons. Logic in the code will choose one or another, then do a DB lookup and place info in the icons , then place them on the map.
As it stands I have working code to draw circles :
], function(
Map, Point, SimpleMarkerSymbol, Graphic, GraphicsLayer
) {
map = new Map("map", {
basemap: "streets",
center: [-73.380801,40.80561],
zoom: 10
});
map.on("load", function() {
var gl = new GraphicsLayer();
var p = new Point(-73.180801, 40.80560);
var p2 = new Point(-73.190801, 40.80560);
var s = new SimpleMarkerSymbol().setSize(60);
var g2 = new Graphic(p2, s);
var g = new Graphic(p, s);
gl.add(g2);
gl.add(g);
map.addLayer(gl);
});
});
but how to take this further? Seems like the next step is to pull from a library of symbols. How?
