Add CIMPictureGraphic to map

MaxMax2 — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 10:15:25 GMT

What is the proper way to add CIMPictureGraphic to map? What properties should be set? I tried following code:

var box = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(x - 10, y - 10, x + 10, y + 10, SpatialReferences.WGS84);

var pictureGraphic = new CIMPictureGraphic
{
    SourceURL = imgPath,
    PictureURL = imgPath,
    Box = box
};

var overlay = _mapView.AddOverlay(pictureGraphic);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Image exist on path imgPath, but it is not shown on map.

Hi Max,

Adding CIMPictureGraphic to the Mapview overlay is not yet supported.

Thanks

OK, I suppose the question is closed in this case.

Hi Max

On further testing, I found that this code snippet works for 2.3. CIMPictureGraphic seems to work for 2D Maps at this point. A little bit of work is needed for 3D support still. It will be available in a future release.

Note:

This specific overload of the AddOverlay method needs to be used.
SourceURL property is not being used currently. Used PictureURL instead. The only supported format to provide the URL currently are these:

// e.g. local file URL (note the 3 slashes):

// file:///<path>

// file:///c:/images/symbol.png

// e.g. network file URL:

// file://<host>/<path>

// file://server/share/symbol.png

            // get the current mapview and point
            var mapView = MapView.Active;
            if (mapView == null)
                return;
            var pictureGraphic = new CIMPictureGraphic();
            pictureGraphic.PictureURL = @"file:///E:/Stuff/MyImage.png";
            pictureGraphic.Box = envelope;
            _graphic = mapView.AddOverlay(pictureGraphic);         ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks

Thanks. In case it helps anyone else, I could not get it to work until I put "file:///" in front of the image path! Also, I found it also works with .jpg images, not just .png.
