Get SimpleMarkerStyle of Point Symbol

Question

Currently I can construct the point symbol through SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol() Method and set SimpleMarkerStyle to create the simple marker. But after creating, I need to get the marker style (circle, rectangle, cross, etc) of the point symbol. I wonder if there is any corresponding property for it.

Thank you very much.

Hi Dominic The marker used to create the point symbol is stored inside the point symbol as a symbol layer. You could get it like this: var pointSymbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.GreenRGB, 10.0, SimpleMarkerStyle.Diamond); var marker = pointSymbol.SymbolLayers[0] as CIMVectorMarker;‍‍ Thanks Uma

Hi Uma,

Thanks for your reply. I can use this method to construct a simple marker with specific style. But I need to get the style property later on -- after I create the symbol object. Currently I cannot find the corresponding property from CIMPointSymbol or CIMVectorMarker. Can you give me ideas? Thank you very much.

Best,

Dominic

Hi Dominic Check out the ConstructMarker method - It has a few overloads that might be what you are looking for. This one gives you a marker directly by passing in SimpleMarkerStyle: public CIMMarker ConstructMarker( CIMColor color, double size, SimpleMarkerStyle markerStyle )‍‍‍‍‍ Thanks Uma
