How to make a line fill symbol

Summary This article shows how to create a line fill symbol.

Making a line fill symbol

Line fill symbols are used to draw fill internally composed of one or more line symbols. Any type of line symbol that is supported by the ILineSymbol interface can be used. The following code example shows the steps for creating a line fill that uses an ICartographicLineSymbol as the internal fill:

[Java]


        static void lineFillSymbol()throws Exception{
    // Set the color for the Line Symbol within the fill
    IRgbColor rgbColorCls = new RgbColor();
    rgbColorCls.setRed(138);
    rgbColorCls.setGreen(151);
    rgbColorCls.setBlue(255);

    // Create the Line Symbol to be used
    ICartographicLineSymbol cartographicLineSymbolCls = new CartographicLineSymbol();
    cartographicLineSymbolCls.setCap(esriLineCapStyle.esriLCSButt);
    cartographicLineSymbolCls.setJoin(esriLineJoinStyle.esriLJSMitre);
    cartographicLineSymbolCls.setColor(rgbColorCls);
    cartographicLineSymbolCls.setWidth(2);

    //  Create the LineFillSymbol
    ILineFillSymbol lineFillSymbolCls = new LineFillSymbol();
    lineFillSymbolCls.setAngle(45);
    lineFillSymbolCls.setSeparation(10);
    lineFillSymbolCls.setOffset(5);
    lineFillSymbolCls.setLineSymbolByRef(cartographicLineSymbolCls);
}
