AGSGraphic Class Reference

---

Description

Instances of this class represent graphics. Graphics can be displayed on the map through an AGSGraphicsLayer. Graphics can be used as input to a task, or they can be used to display output from a task, or in response to user interaction.

Each graphic must contain an AGSGeometry describing the location and the shape of the graphic. The geometry must have the same spatial reference as the map.

A graphic can be associated with an AGSSymbol which determines how the graphic looks. Alternatively, the graphics layer can be assgined an AGSRenderer which determines the appearance of all graphics in the layer. Note, symbols associated with individual graphics take precedence over the symbols chosen by the renderer. The symbol used depends upon the geometry type associated with the graphic. An AGSMarkerSymbol is used for point and multipoint geometries, AGSSimpleLineSymbol for polyline geometries, and AGSSimpleFillSymbol for polygon geometries.

A graphic can contain a set of attributes (key-value paris) providing more information about the graphic. This information is displayed in an AGSCallout when a user taps on the graphic.

A graphic can also contain an infoTemplateDelegate that describes how attribute information should be displayed in the callout.

Defined in:

AGSGraphic.h ( ArcGIS library)

AGSMapViewDelegate for events related to tapping on graphics and showing the callout window.
