Marker Symbols

I got the below code for a marker symbol from JavaScript API examples....

I was wondering if there was a location I could go to to find the "setPath" for a push pin or other graphic symbol?

Is there a list of graphics and their associated numbers?

var DrawmarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol();

DrawmarkerSymbol.setPath("M16,4.938c-7.732,0-14,4.701-14,10.5c0,1.981,0.741,3.833,2.016,5.414L2,25.272l5.613-1.44c2.339,1.316,5.237,2.106,8.387,2.106c7.732,0,14-4.701,14-10.5S23.732,4.938,16,4.938zM16.868,21.375h-1.969v-1.889h1.969V21.375zM16.772,18.094h-1.777l-0.176-8.083h2.113L16.772,18.094z");

DrawmarkerSymbol.setColor(new Color("#00FFFF"));

HI Jay,

I wonder if you could use PictureMarkerSymbol as an alternative?

Jay,

You can get the html of symbols here: Marker Symbols‌

A pushpin for example is this

var pointexample = new PictureMarkerSymbol('http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Basic/RedStickpin.png', 20, 20);

and use the picturemarkersymbol-amd | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript‌ class.

Jay,

Have you seen this site? Icons‌

You can also generate the path strings from Adobe Illustrator: vector - Photoshop Custom Shape to SVG path string - Stack Overflow‌
