MOLE manual group draw

Purpose
This sample demonstrates how to manually arrange MOLE force element graphics on a map. The application adds a MOLE group element to the map's graphic container and provides selections for decluttering.

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on running the sample.

Data has been provided for your use with this sample. It can be found at <Your ArcGIS Developer Kit Install directory>/Samples/data/mole/mole_base.mxd.
If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  1. Run the application.
  2. Click the Add Group Element button to populate the map with a group of force element graphics.
  3. On the combo box, select any of the decluttering options.
  4. Experiment with the code by making you own decluttering arrangements in cbDeclutter_SelectedIndexChanged.
  5. Experiment with the code by changing the number of symbols drawn in btnAddGroup_Click.

Additional information

Many of the ArcGIS Military Analyst and MOLE extension application programming interface (API) objects you have used in the past have equivalent or near equivalent objects in the ArcGIS 10 ArcObjects API. These new objects should now be used and do not require a Military Analyst extension or MOLE extension license. See Migrating from Military Analyst and MOLE for information on how to accomplish tasks in ArcGIS 10 that previously required the Military Analyst and MOLE APIs.
