Interface ILineFillSymbol

All Superinterfaces:

IFillSymbol, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

LineFillSymbol

public interface ILineFillSymbol
extends IFillSymbol, Serializable

Provides access to members that control the line fill symbol.

Description

ILineFillSymbol is used to draw a fill comprised of line symbols. Any type of line symbol supported by the ILineSymbol interface can be used. Angle, Separation and Offset can be specified to further customize the look of the symbol. Use the IFillSymbol interface to set additional properties for ILineFillSymbols.

Remarks

The Angle property indicates the number of degrees between the LineSymbol and a horizontal line and defaults to 0.

The first line will always be drawn through the origin (0,0) of the container's coordinate system, unless the Offset property is set to a value other than zero. This means that line fill symbols can be aligned or offset as required between multiple shapes.

The Separation property, which is in points, determines the frequency of the line symbols within the areal feature. If the Spearation is less than the LineSymbol's Width, the lines will overlap, but a Separation greater than the Width will leave a transparent area between the LineSymbols, through which underlying symbols' elements can be seen.
