Custom symbol referenced as part of a composite label expression
Hello,
When creating a label expression in ArcGIS Pro, I want to have my custom symbol, next to my label that has a background, and the symbol changes depending on the value in the data. For example, the light grey and red symbol would change depending on the type of feature it is.
Essentially what I want to do is create the label in the following link, but instead of referencing a font symbol, I want to reference a list of symbols from a custom style that will be used depending on the value in the data.
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/mapping/text/label-using-a-composite-callout.htm
Also if someone knows how to make a composite label like that as well, that info would be greatly helpful.
Thank you,
Ian
Hi Ronald,
Yes that is an option but is very time consuming and often breaks as the label gets moved away from the symbol. I should have added that the image is the complete label and would show where the point is via a leader line like the following image. I ended up making label classes that way, but ideally what I would like is just to add a label expression in Arcade similar to the post that I linked to, where it sources the icon from a font symbol (I'd like to source an actual symbol) and I don't have to create 30 label classes. Which if I ever decide to change the color of the text background, I have to go in and change all 30. Do you know what I would code in there to reference a particular symbol from my custom style?
This is the code from the arcade expression and I replaced where I would need to reference my symbol:
function StormSymbol(code) { if (code == 'Pipe') return '<WHAT WOULD I WRITE HERE TO REFERENCE A SYMBOL FROM MY MASTER STYLE">×</FNT>' if (code == 'HU') return '<FNT name = "ESRI METEOROLOGICAL 01">Ø</FNT>' if (code == 'TD') return '<FNT name = "ESRI METEOROLOGICAL 01">Ö</FNT>' } `<PART position="top">${$feature.STORMNAME}</PART><FNT size='25'><PART position="left">${StormSymbol($feature.STORMTYPE)}</PART><PART position="middle">CAT ${$feature.SS}</PART><PART position="right">${$feature.INTENSITY}</PART></FNT><PART position="bottom">CATEGORY</PART><PART position="bottomleft">STORM TYPE</PART><PART position="bottomright">INTENSITY</PART>`
