Text next to PictureMarkerSymbol

Question

Hi!

I am using ArcGIS SDK 100.1.0 Qt.

I want to create a PictureMarkerSymbol with a text label next to it. This text symbol will be updated during runtime with. I've tried to create a CompositeSymbol consisting of a PictureMarkerSymbol and a TextSymbol. However, the Text overlaps with the picture symbol. Is there a way to give the text symbol some offset to the picture symbol or is there another way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

You should be able to give the text symbol an offset using the "setOffsetX" or "setOffsetY" methods: MarkerSymbol Class | ArcGIS for Developers. They are defined on the base type MarkerSymbol rather than on TextSymbol

I hope that helps,
