How do you get the renderer from a feature layer? 

I want to get the current rendered from a feature layer, and then set the RotationInfo on it so I can rotate my graphics that are in that feature service.

The renderer is a property of the featureLayer so:

var theRenderer = theLayer.renderer;

I've tried that, it is null every time.  Or am I looking at it at the wrong time?

When are you trying to get the renderer? You're probably trying to access it before it's ready. Try setting that after the FeatureLayer's load event fires.

Robert,

does this solution works only with simple symbology?

I tried this with my current code and it returned the same result i have here:

renderer from an existing service fails to return the full symbology 

with the symbology as you can see in the pictures not fully operational when its "complicated".

any ideas?

No it should work with any renderer.

im trying to do the same with a uniqeValue renderer from a public service, and the code seems to get me the renderer and the attribute field, but on rendering i get a bad result.

this is the code:

		  var serviceUrl = "https://ags.iplan.gov.il/arcgisiplan/rest/services/PlanningPublic/Xplan_2039/MapServer/1";
		  var layer = new FeatureLayer(serviceUrl);
 
          if (featureLayer.graphics) { 
			layer.on('load', function(evt){  
            console.info(evt.target.renderer);
			featureLayer.setRenderer(evt.target.renderer)
          }); 

it gets me:

renderer on webapp

instead of:im trying to get why the original service im taking the renderer from has a different symbology than mine,

from service:

from the code:

Segev,

   There is some hatching symbology that is not supported on ArcGIS server services and normally you are warned of this when you publish the service.
