Printing a textSymbol

IbrahimHussein

Hey guys, I am making a measurement app, and I am adding the measurements on every click as a graphic(point, textSymbol) and I am setting the color to white. Now on the map it shows up as white, but when I print the result, the measurement text comes out black. Cant seem to figure out whats going on, any ideas?

I've seen this sort of thing happen before when working with fonts. I downloaded your code and rewrote the part that creates the text symbols. Using the verbose method of creating the symbol fixed the issue for me. This is the code I used:

var font = new Font();

  font.setSize("15pt");

  font.setWeight(Font.WEIGHT_BOLDER);

  font.setFamily("Candara");

  var color = new Color();

  color.setColor([255, 255, 255]);

  var textSymbol = new TextSymbol()

  textSymbol.setText(zero.toFixed(1).toString()+"'");

  textSymbol.setFont(font);

  textSymbol.setColor(color);

  textSymbol.setAlign(Font.ALIGN_MIDDLE);

  textSymbol.setAngle(0);

  totalLength += zero;

  mx = (parseFloat(x1)+parseFloat(x))/2;

  my = (parseFloat(y1)+parseFloat(y))/2;

  var labelPoint = new Point(mx,my);   

  var labelPointGraphic = new Graphic();

  labelPointGraphic.setGeometry(labelPoint);

  labelPointGraphic.setSymbol(textSymbol);
