Get image for legend

[c_f_ong]

Hello

I've been trying to show a legend with info from a AGSUniqueValueRenderer as follows:

            AGSUniqueValueRenderer *renderer = (AGSUniqueValueRenderer *)featLayer.renderer;
            int num = [renderer.uniqueValues count];
            for (int j = 0 ; j < num ; j++)
            {
                LegendInfo *info = [[[LegendInfo alloc] init] autorelease];
                AGSUniqueValue *value = [renderer.uniqueValues objectAtIndex:j];
                if ([value.symbol isKindOfClass:[AGSPictureMarkerSymbol class]])
                {
                    AGSPictureMarkerSymbol *pms = (AGSPictureMarkerSymbol *)value.symbol;
                    info.image = [pms swatchForGeometryType:featLayer.geometryType size:CGSizeMake(24, 24)];                
                }
                else
                {
                    info.image = [value.symbol swatchForGeometryType:featLayer.geometryType size:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];                   
                }
                info.name = value.label;
                [self.legendInfos addObject:info];
            }

And to show the details in a table view. The 'value.label' is listed correctly. Images from AGSPictureMarkerSymbol do NOT appear but image from a AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol shows correctly.

Anyone knows how to make the images from AGSPictureMarkerSymbol to show correctly in a table view? The webmap is showing AGSGraphic using the correct symbols accordingly.

Thanks.

Hello

I've checked for more details as follows:

            // Check the renderer of feature layer
            if ([featLayer.renderer isKindOfClass:[AGSUniqueValueRenderer class]])
            {
                NSLog(@"AGSUniqueValueRenderer");
                AGSUniqueValueRenderer *renderer = (AGSUniqueValueRenderer *)featLayer.renderer;
                int num = [renderer.uniqueValues count];
                for (int j = 0 ; j < num ; j++)
                {
                    LegendInfo *info = [[[LegendInfo alloc] init] autorelease];
                    AGSUniqueValue *value = [renderer.uniqueValues objectAtIndex:j];
                    if ([value.symbol isKindOfClass:[AGSPictureMarkerSymbol class]])
                    {
                        NSLog(@"j %d; label %@; AGSPictureMarkerSymbol", j, value.label);
                        AGSPictureMarkerSymbol *pms = (AGSPictureMarkerSymbol *)value.symbol;
                        info.image = [pms swatchForGeometryType:featLayer.geometryType size:CGSizeMake(8, 8)];
                        NSLog(@"symbol: %@", [value.symbol encodeToJSON]);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        NSLog(@"j %d; label %@; NOT AGSPictureMarkerSymbol", j, value.label);
                        info.image = [value.symbol swatchForGeometryType:featLayer.geometryType size:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];                   
                        NSLog(@"symbol: %@", [value.symbol encodeToJSON]);
                    }
                    info.name = value.label;
                    [self.legendInfos addObject:info];
                }               
            }

Notes:
1. For AGSPictureMarkerSymbol:
symbol: {
    angle = 0;
    color = "<null>";
    height = 12;
    imageData = "<null>";
    imageName = "<null>";
    type = esriPMS;
    width = 12;
    xoffset = 0;
    yoffset = 0;
}

2. For NON-AGSPictureMarkerSymbol:
symbol: {
    angle = 0;
    color =     (
        0,
        0,
        128,
        128
    );
    outline =     {
        color =         (
            0,
            0,
            128,
            255
        );
        style = esriSLSSolid;
        type = esriSLS;
        width = 1;
    };
    rotateAroundOffset = false;
    size = 12;
    style = esriSMSDiamond;
    type = esriSMS;
    xoffset = 0;
    yoffset = 0;
}

So, it seems that AGSPictureMarkerSymbol is not returning an image unlike AGSSimpleMarkerSymbol. Is there any way to get the image for AGSPictureMarkerSymbol?

Thanks.

Why are you not using AGSPictureMarkerSymbol's image property?

Hi Nimesh

I've used AGSPictureMarkerSymbol's image property but still its imageData was null. So I went back to the hosted feature service to reset the unique values again. And after that, AGSPictureMarkerSymbol's imageData is no longer null and can now be displayed in a legend.

Thanks.

Glad to know that. Probabaly, null image was the reason for not generating swatch for picture marker symbol.
