     When using ArcMap Server:

     When using Image or Feature Server:

Description:

Symbolizes point features using one of the predefined symbol types: circle, triangle, square, cross, or star.

Restrictions:

Overlap is valid only for Image Services. It is ignored when using Feature Services.
In ArcMap Image Services, symbol is valid only in acetate layers.
Known limitation with outline in ArcMap Image Services: An outline does not show when the attribute type is "triangle" or "star".

Notes:

None

Attribute Descriptions for SIMPLEMARKERSYMBOL:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
antialiasing	1 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.
color	2 Symbol color using RGB values.
outline	3 Outline color using RGB values.
overlap	4 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.
shadow	5 Shadow color using RGB values.
transparency	6 Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
type	7 Symbol type.
usecentroid	8 By default, a marker symbol used on polygon layers draws markers at all polygon vertices. If usecentroid is "true", marker is placed in the centroid of the polygon. If multiple polygon parts exist, the marker falls on the part with the biggest area.
width	9 Symbol width in pixels.
