Interface IDotDensityFillSymbol2

All Superinterfaces:

IDotDensityFillSymbol, IFillSymbol, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DotDensityFillSymbol

public interface IDotDensityFillSymbol2
extends IDotDensityFillSymbol, Serializable

Provides access to further properties of a data driven symbol commonly used with a dot density renderer.

Remarks

IDotDensityFillSymbol2 extends the IDotDensityFillSymbol Interface to provide access to the Random Seed property used to generate the dot patterns in the fill symbol.

Method Detail

getRandomSeed

Object getRandomSeed()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Defines how the random generator is initialized to draw dots randomly.

Remarks

The random seed for dot generation a 32-bit unsigned integer value.

Specifies the random seed used for generation of placement position. If FixedPlacement is True, then the dots will be fixed in place on successive redraws based on the random seed, which will not be modified. If FixedPlacement is False, then dots will be placed randomly as the random seed will be updated each draw.
