CIMPictureMarker with an outline / stroke

Hi all!

Is it possible to make a CIMPictureMarker with a stroke? If so how to achieve this?

symbol: {
    type: 'CIMPointSymbol',
    angleAlignment: 'Map',
    useRealWorldSymbolSizes: true,
    symbolLayers: [
        {
            type: 'CIMPictureMarker',
            primitiveName: 'symbol-layer-1',
            enable: true,
            textureFilter: 'Text',
            url: 'assets/images/iamge.png',
            outline: { // This is not working
                color: [ 255, 255, 0 ],
                width: 3 
            }
        },
    ],
},

Are there other ways to do this? This would be very useful!

Thanks!

Michael

The cleanest way I have found of producing sharp outlines around picture symbols is via feature effects. You can add filters if needed so that it is only applied to specific features. I find that the result is much sharper than what the actual layer rendering engine seems to produce...

Thanks for helping me ! @JonathanDawe_BAS
But I think your codepen does not work? Nevertheless there's no support for primitiveOverrides or visualVariables with these effects?

Are there any other ways?

Thanks!
