RASTERFILLSYMBOL

RASTERFILLSYMBOL

Used in: CONFIG   REQUEST   RESPONSE
Servers: Image   Feature   ArcMap
Parent elements: EXACT   OBJECT   OTHER   POLYGON   RANGE   SIMPLERENDERER

<RASTERFILLSYMBOL	Attribute Description Table
When using ArcMap Server: image ="path to image file" url ="url string" When using Image or Feature Server: image ="path to image file" url ="url string" antialiasing ="true \| false" [false] overlap ="true \| false" [true] transparency ="0.0 - 1.0" [1.0] > No Child Elements </RASTERFILLSYMBOL >
Bold: Attribute or child element is required.

Description:

Fills polygon features with specified image.

Restrictions:

Overlap is valid only for Image Services. It is ignored when using Feature Services.
When using an ArcIMS HTML Viewer, ArcIMS Java Viewer, ArcExplorer 4, or any other client using the ArcIMS Servlet Connector, RASTERFILLSYMBOL is restricted in a SERVICEINFO response. The attribute image is not returned. This restriction can be lifted by setting the property spatialServer.AllowResponsePath to "true" in esrimap_prop. This property file is found in the same directory as the ArcIMS Servlet Connector. For more information on the location of esrimap_prop and its properties, see the ArcIMS Help.

This restriction applies only when the ArcIMS Servlet Connector is used. It does not apply to the ActiveX, ColdFusion, or Java Connectors.
In ArcMap Image Services, symbol is valid only in acetate layers.

Notes:

Acceptable image formats are JPG and GIF.
In the legend of ArcIMS Java Viewers and ArcExplorer 4, the swatch showing a symbol is limited in size. Images greater than approximately 16x16 pixels in size are truncated to fill the swatch. The full image displays on the map. In the ArcIMS HTML Viewer and other HTML implementations, the size of the swatch can be controlled using LEGEND.

Attribute Descriptions for RASTERFILLSYMBOL:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
antialiasing	Used to make edges of labels and symbols smoother. When set to "true", antialiasing is active. Note that the time to generate a map may significantly increase when antialiasing is turned on.
image	Full pathname to image. ArcIMS Spatial Server uses this pathname to find the image and add it to the map. UNC pathnames can be used (\\myComputer\arcims\output).
overlap	Determines if labels can overlap this symbol. When "true", labels can overlap. When "false", labels will not overlap the symbol. If labels are not drawing as expected, check if overlap is set to "false" for this symbol or any other symbol in the ArcIMS service.
transparency	Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
url	URL used by client to retrieve image.
