An object to group (or classify) symbology and class breaks information for a ClassBreaksRenderer.

Object Model

ClassBreakInfo ClassSymbol Class

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class ClassBreakInfo 
   Inherits RendererInfo
   Implements IJsonSerializable 
C#

Example

C#Copy Code

    // For each ClassBreakInfo grouping in the ObservableCollection obtain all of the
    // relevent information about the group and display in a MessageBox.

Remarks

The following image depicts how a Map would look that corresponds to XAML code with a ClassBreaksRenderer defined for a FeatureLayer.

Example of how XAML code using a ClassBreaksRenderer on a FeatureLayer would look visually in the Map.

A ClassBreaksRenderer should have 2 or more ClassBreakInfo objects obtained by the ClassBreaksRenderer.Classes Property. The ClassBreaksRenderer.Classes object is an ObservableCollection of ClassBreakInfo objects that are essenitally classifications (or groupings) used to delineate the different symbology and class breaks information. If just one type of symbology needs to be rendered for a FeatureLayer use a SimpleRenderer instead.

The name of the Field that is specified for the ClassBreaksRenderer.Attribute Property must be a numeric (Double, Integer, SmallInteger, or Single) Field.FieldType. The MaximumValue and MinimumValue Properties define the upper and lower values per grouping based upon what the ClassBreaksRenderer.Attribute is set to. To render groups of Strings use the UniqueValueRenderer instead.

Each ClassBreakInfo group needs a RendererInfo.Symbol that visually represents features in the layer that fall between the MinimumValue and MaximumValue.

To see an example of how to set and use ClassBreakInfo objects in a ClassBreaksRenderer review the ClassBreaksRenderer Class documentation.
