AGSPictureMarkerSymbol rotate / angle without effect

ManfredReinart — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 12:53:52 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to place a PictureMarkerSymbol with a given rotation angle on to of line objects with a given slope. Objective is to place the PictureMarkerSymbol orthogonally to the axis of the line.

So far I did not manage to achieve any effect.
Setting the angle attribute of the PictureMarkerSymbol before creating a graphic based on the symbol does not have any effect.

AGSPictureMarkerSymbol *pms = [AGSPictureMarkerSymbol pictureMarkerSymbolWithImageNamed:@"picturename.png"];
pms.angle = 45.0;

Did anyone already manage to achieve this using ArcGIS IOS SDK 1.0?

Same for SimpleMarkerSymbol

    AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol *markerSymbol = [AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol simpleMarkerSymbol];
    markerSymbol.color = [UIColor yellowColor];
    markerSymbol.size = 17;
    markerSymbol.style = AGSSimpleMarkerSymbolStyleDiamond;

    markerSymbol.angle = (CGFloat)30.0;

Setting angle has no effect.

Best Regards
Manfred

I am having a similar issue with the xoffset & yoffset.

I have set up my symbol as Follows:
AGSSymbol* symbol = [AGSPictureMarkerSymbol pictureMarkerSymbolWithImageNamed:@"Redpin.png"];

symbol.xoffset = 10;
symbol.yoffset = 10;

Has anyone figured this out?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have the same problem with AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol. The angle does not affect the symbol.
Did anyone figure it out?

Thanks,
Miri

Unfortunately, at this time we can not set the angle of simple and picture marker symbols. This is a known issue.

Thanks for reporting!

Hi Nimesh,

Thank you for your reply.

As far as I understand, the ArcGIS for iOS application does show a small arrow from the GPS location to the target while driving. I wonder how it is implemented there without rotating the symbol.

Thanks again,
Miri

Hi,

Does AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol can refer the angle property in version 2.0.1 ?

Thanks,
Miri
