Description:

Line symbol for drawing railroad symbols.

Restrictions:

Overlap is valid only for Image MapServices. It is ignored when using Feature MapServices.

Notes:

The following figure shows the different components that make up HASHLINESYMBOL:
HASHLINESYMBOL uses a smoothing algorithm on the line to get a better hash effect. If a different line symbol is used, the smoothing algorithm is not applied, and a line will not overlay exactly with a hashline (railroad). In order to make a line overlay hashline, use HASHLINESYMBOL for the line and set the attribute type to background.

Attribute Descriptions for HASHLINESYMBOL:

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.
color	Symbol color using RGB values.
interval	Distance between railroad crosshatches in pixels.
linethickness	Line thickness in pixels.
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 MapService.
tickthickness	Tick thickness in pixels.
transparency	Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
type	If type is foreground, the symbol draws as a railroad with the crosshash. If type is background, the symbol draws as a simple line without the crosshash.
width	Width of the crosshash segments in pixels.
