It seems that between version 4.9 and 4.10, display of a graphic's symbol was changed so that it's rotation is always relative to the screen rather than the mapview.
I have added some features to a graphicslayer that I want to point in a certain compass direction, which obviously does not work now. Is there an option to override the default behavior, and set the angle relative to the mapview's rotation?
Hi there,
You can watch View's rotation property and set the graphic's symbol to match the view.rotation as shown below:
view.watch("rotation", function(r){
graphic.symbol = {
type: "picture-marker",
url: "http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Transportation/RedTriangleDaymark.png",
width: 60,
height: 40,
yoffset: 20,
angle: view.rotation
},
console.log("view rotation: ", Math.round(r));
console.log("symbol angle: ", graphic.symbol.angle)
});
Here is a simple app that shows how to rotate the symbol when view rotates.
