Labeling Graphics Layer

ChristopherEbright — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:10:33 GMT

I am trying to label a polygon graphics layer.
I am able to either symbolize the graphic or the label through the renderer, but I can't figure out how to do both at the same time. I see that the AGSFeatureLayer has a labeling functionality, but I am using an AGSGraphicsLayer because I am loading data locally.

For what it's worth, I was able to find a work around.
I just created another instance of my view that contained the graphics and created a new renderer for that view and added it to the mapview. Seems like a hack and extra overhead, but it works for the moment.

Chris,

You should symbolize your polygon graphics in AGSGraphicsLayer with AGSCompositeSymbol which has AGSSimpleFillSymbol and AGSTextSymbol.

That worked very well. Much better on my memory usage as well!
Thanks.
