<RASTERFILLSYMBOL	Attribute Description Table
When using Feature Server: (r)url="url string" antialiasing="true \| false" [false] image="path to image file" transparency="0.0 - 1.0" [1.0] When using Image Server: (r)image="path to image file" antialiasing="true \| false" [false] overlap="true \| false" [true] transparency="0.0 - 1.0" [1.0] url="url string" > No Child Elements </RASTERFILLSYMBOL >
(r): Attribute or child element is required.

Description

Fills polygon features with specified image.

Restrictions

When using an ArcIMS HTML Viewer, ArcIMS Java Viewer, ArcExplorer-Java Edition, or any other client 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 same directory as the ArcIMS Servlet Connector. For more information on the location of esrimap_prop and its properties, see ArcIMS Help.

This restriction applies only when the ArcIMS Servlet Connector is used. It does not apply when any other connector, the Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework, or the Web ADF for the Java Platform is used.

Notes

Acceptable image formats are JPG, GIF, and PNG.
In the legend of ArcIMS Java Viewers and ArcExplorer-Java Edition, the swatch showing a symbol is limited in size. Images greater than 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
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). Required for Image Services and ignored by Feature Services.
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. Valid only with Image Services.
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. Required for Feature Services, and ignored by Image Services.
