RASTERFILLSYMBOL

RASTERFILLSYMBOL

Used in: CONFIG REQUEST RESPONSE
Parent elements: EXACT OTHER POLYGON RANGE SIMPLERENDERER

<RASTERFILLSYMBOL	Attribute Description Table
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:

Takes the specified image and uses it to fill a polygon feature.

Restrictions:

Overlap is valid only for Image MapServices. It is ignored when using Feature MapServices.
When using an ArcIMS HTML Viewer, ArcIMS Java Viewer, ArcExplorer 3, or any other browser 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 servlet engine directory. For more information on the location of esrimap_prop and its properties, see the topic "Administering the ArcIMS Servlet Connector" in the System Administration chapter of the ArcIMS Help Contents.

This restriction applies only when the ArcIMS Servlet Connector is used. It does not apply to the ActiveX or ColdFusion Connectors or to other connectors using the ArcIMS Application Server Link.

Notes:

Acceptable image formats are JPG and GIF.
In the legend of ArcIMS Java Viewers and ArcExplorer 3, the swatch showing a symbol is limited in size. Images over 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 MapService.
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.
