Change width of frame outline of mil2525d symbols with dictionary script

imbachb

I'd like to change the width of the frame outline of certain mil2525d symbols via dictionary script. The symbol with key 0_101_0 is defined like so:

    "type": "CIMPointSymbol",
    "symbolLayers": [

            "respectFrame": true
        }
    ],
    "haloSize": 1,
    "scaleX": 1,
    "angleAlignment": "Display"
}

Using the primitive name `frame_outline` I should be able to change the width of the rendered frame outline. When I change the width in this JSON then the new width is rendered. However, when I want to do this in the dictionary script using a primitive override

`keys += ';po:frame_outline|Width|100';`

The returned keys from the dictionary script looks like

However, the width of the rendered frame outline is still the original width...

Changing the color of the frame_outline works though with following script

`keys += ';po:frame_outline|Color|#00FF00';`

This results in the correct color applied to the frame outline.

Why does it not work with the frame_outline width? Is there no way to change the width of the frame_outline via the dictionary script?

Many thanks!

Dear radimbachb,

Please find the updated version of .stylx in the attachment.

you shouold be able to modify these properties

"Size", "Width", "Color", "Rotation", "OffsetX", "OffsetY"

If you need more clarification please let me know.

Best of luck

Dear radimbachb,

I hope you are doing well when reading this message,

you can see the property names which the dictionary renderer supports,

I do not think it supports "Width".

Please check the below link for understanding better the properties of each CIM types,

https://github.com/Esri/cim-spec/blob/main/docs/v2/CIMSymbols.md#cimbackgroundcallout

you can set the size of the frame, from ArcGIS Pro style part.

I hope it helps you

Best Regards,
Amir

Dear Amir-Sarrafzadeh-Arasi

Many thanks for the reply and the link to the CIMSymbols documentation, this is very helpful. Since we need to modify a few hundred symbols editing them by hand in ArcGIS Pro seems a bit of a hassle. But we should be able to write a SQL script that updates the frame_outline width value in all symbol JSONs of the `.stylx` file.

Hi radimbachb,
If you have the static width size you can do that, but if you want to have dynamic width size, dictionary renderer does not have property name Width.

You can try with Size . maybe it will solve your issue.

keys += ';po:frame_outline|Size|20';`

Best of Luck

Hi Amir-Sarrafzadeh-Arasi

Setting
`keys += ';po:frame_outline|Size|20';`
or any other value does not seem to have any effect on the rendered symbol. I also don't see the 'size' property for the CIMSolidStroke here cim-spec/docs/v2/CIMSymbols.md at main · Esri/cim-spec · GitHub.

A way to change the size of all the symbols in the dictionary I found is via ArcGIS Maps SDK is

ArcadeExpression* arcadeExpression = new ArcadeExpression("1.5", this);
dictionaryRenderer->setScaleExpression(arcadeExpression);

But to increase readability further it would be nice to increase the width of the frame outline. This is mostly a problem when we set the symbol style's `fill` configuration to `OFF`.

Hi @Amir-Sarrafzadeh-Arasi

I asked the question in the arcgis native maps qt sdk forum and there Esri confirmed that setting the width via arcade script is not supported yet, but will be available in the next version.

Solved: Re: Setting width of CIMSolidStroke via arcade has... - Esri Community

Thank you again for the troubleshooting.
