Offset Symbology?

KellyTaylor — Thu, 30 May 2024 17:16:10 GMT

Hi, is there a way to offset symbology by a couple pixels in ArcGIS Online for a hosted feature layer? I can do it in Pro but I need it to offset in the online layer's visualization settings in mapviewer.

Thanks!

I may be missing it also, but I don't see that option in Map Viewer.

However, since you have Pro, you can navigate your portal in Catalog, Add and Open the web map, set the symbology offsets for the layer, then Save Web Map in Pro.

This will update the existing map with the offsets.

The symbol styler currently does not expose the different effects you can set on a symbol like Offset that you can add to your symbol and/or symbol layer in Pro. MV does support displaying these symbols in the map with this effect when published from Pro. We currently do not have plans on exposing and adding these effects on symbol layers at this time.

Oh yeah, I suppose I can just set it that way on each map. We make extensive use of view layers and the visualization tab for hosted layers so that's where my mind went. Thanks for the reminder!

I see that can also be modified by layer in the JSON of the map itself.

I know this is almost a year old, but for anybody else who is struggling with this, I found something not perfect but serviceable. You can offset the drop shadow. You can't get rid of the OG line and the drop shadows aren't opaque, but it works.
