Geometric effects and marker placement styles

Marker placement styles determine how representation markers are placed relative to input geometry.

Geometric effects allow you to dynamically alter the geometry of features as they are drawn on your map without affecting their underlying shape or spatial relationships.

Description

Example

Point

Rotation on Point

Allows the marker to have a specified rotation (in addition to the marker’s angle) based on either degrees or radians using a specified direction (geographic or arithmetic and clockwise or counterclockwise). The marker is on or in relation to a point based on x-offset and y-offset.

Line

Line extension

Creates a dynamic line that is extended from either the beginning or the end of the line feature at a specified deflection angle and length
