Create a MultiLayerPointSymbol from SVG

KarenRobine1 — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:59:57 GMT

I'm using the RenderMultilayerSymbols.xaml.cs sample to create a MultiLayerPointSymbol. The AddPointGraphicsWithMarkerSymbols method uses the following example:

Geometry vectorElementGeometry = Geometry.FromJson("{\"rings\":[[[0.0,2.5],[2.5,0.0],[0.0,-2.5],[-2.5,0.0],[0.0,2.5]]]}");

However, I have an SVG Path I want to convert. The path format is the following:

M16,3.5c-4.142,0-7.5,3.358-7.5,7.5c0,4.143,7.5,18.121,7.5,18.121S23.5,15.143,23.5,11C23.5,6.858,20.143,3.5,16,3.5z M16,14.584c-1.979,0-3.584-1.604-3.584-3.584S14.021,7.416,16,7.416S19.584,9.021,19.584,11S17.979,14.584,16,14.584z

In the past, you could convert SVG to Geometry using esriSMSPath (JavaScript). But not sure how to get my SVG format to Geometry? (FYI: The Path format represents a Map Pin icon..

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Native apps do not support SVG symbols. One possible alternative is to use this online tool to convert SVG to CIM https://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/Symbols/SymbolServer/generateSymbol

Once you get CIM json you can directly create a symbol by passing CIM json to Symbol.FromJson()

Hope this helps!
