LabelClass or TextSymbol in v4 beta 3?

MarcBate · ‎03-10-2016

I was able to use TextSymbol3D to create 3D text labels, but not having any luck creating 2D labels. I took the sample:

and instead of using the markerSymbol for the pointGraphic's symbol, I created a TextSymbol, but get Uncaught TypeError: c.getSVGAlign is not a function in the MapView.js

var textSymbol = new TextSymbol({

size: 12,

text: "My Label"

});

//Create a graphic and add the geometry and symbol to it

var pointGraphic = new Graphic({

geometry: point,

symbol: textSymbol

});

Hi Marc,

Could you provide a link to a sample app? I wasn't able to reproduce this error. I used the same sample and the text appears as I expect it to.

Here's a sample that I can't get to work

Sorry, Marc. I must have been testing against our most recent API build when I originally responded. This does appear to be a bug in beta 3. The good news is that it has already been fixed on our end and you will be able to do this when 4.0 final is released.

Thanks. Do you know about what percentage of the functionality in 3.16 will be in 4.0 final? Last I saw it was scheduled for Q1. Any update on that?

We plan on sharing a matrix that displays the features that will be supported compared to 3.16. Not sure when that will go out. The plan is to release 4.0 final in Q2.
