Example

This example adds a new shield symbol renderer to an existing highways layer. It creates the ShieldSymbol, adds it to a new SimpleLabelRenderer, creates a new GroupRenderer, and adds both the existing symbol renderer and the new label renderer to the group renderer. Finally, it assigns the group renderer to the layer's renderer.

' Retrieve layer and its current SimpleRenderer

Remarks

This symbol labels line features with highway shields. Each shield displays a value from the attributes for the layer, typically the highway number. Note that the values to display come from the field defined in the renderer containing this symbol, either SimpleLabelRenderer.LabelField or ValueMapRenderer.ValueField.

Four types of shields are available: U.S. Interstate, U.S. Highway, white rectangle, and white oval. See the Type property for more information.

ShieldSymbol is valid only with line features. ShieldSymbol is not valid with ArcMap Server image services.
