Description

Line symbol for drawing railroad symbols.

Restrictions

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

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. Due to the smoothing, this line may not overlay another line. In order to make the second line overlay a hashline, use HASHLINESYMBOL for the second line and set the attribute type to background.

Attribute Descriptions for HASHLINESYMBOL

Attribute	Usage
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 ArcIMS service.
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.
