Override item names in legend from graphics layer in print task

JörgPossin

Hi!

I added some graphics in a graphicLayer which works well in the browser web map and also in the pdf produced with the server print task. You can see the graphics in the pdf but in the legend you see the symbols but only the item names "Override 1" "Override 2" etc. Is there a possibilty to rename the item objects in the legend from the pdf?

Here is an example:

The other 2 items are not part of the graphics layer.

Hi,

I can tell you what the underlying problem probably is, though we use the JS API.

Looking at the JSON sent to the print service, your graphics layer has a null renderer and your graphics features are symbolized.  The feature symbols are therefore overriding the renderer symbols and the map is giving them the friendly label of 'Override 1', 2, etc.

If you mess with the JSON to create a renderer such as:

        "renderer": {
         "type":"simple",
         "label": "My Label",
         "symbol":{
          "color":[0,0,0,128],
          "outline":{
           "color":[0,0,0,255],
           "width":0.75,
           "type":"esriSLS",
           "style":"esriSLSSolid"
          },
          "type":"esriSFS",
          "style":"esriSFSSolid"
         }
        }

And then comment out the feature symbol (or else you'll still override), submitting the JSON to the print task will show 'My Label' in the Legend.

I'm not sure what the implications of all this are, either in Flex or JS, but if this god-like insight :rolleyes: is of any help, please post.

Thanks,

Frank
