how to create a diagonal cross symbol

ThaoNguyen — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:33:14 GMT

How do I create a diagonal cross symbol using arcgis wpf api? I saw the samples for custom symbols with backward/forward diagonal but not diagonal cross or cross symbol.

Thanks!

You could use an ImageBrush set to tiled for fill, and have a "diamond" or "X" in the image. When this gets tiled, it will look like a crosshatch.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I try to avoid using images.
Arcgis desktop api does provide a way to draw cross or diagonal cross. I was wondering if arcgis wpf provides that as well.

I'm looking for a map Symbol object that can take in a hatch style or a HatchBrush. This will allow me to draw cross/diagonal cross. This was what arcgis desktop 9.3 api provided. I'm looking for the similar class in arcgis wpf.
