Geometric effects and marker placement styles

Marker placement styles determine how representation markers are placed relative to input geometry.

Geometric effects allow you to dynamically alter the geometry of features as they are drawn on your map without affecting their underlying shape or spatial relationships.

Marker placement styles

Input geometry	Marker placement style	Description	Example
Point	Rotation on Point	Allows the marker to have a specified rotation (in addition to the marker’s angle) based on either degrees or radians using a specified direction (geographic or arithmetic and clockwise or counterclockwise). The marker is on or in relation to a point based on x-offset and y-offset.

Geometric effects

Input geometry	Output geometry	Geometric effect	Description	Example
Line	Line	Line extension	Creates a dynamic line that is extended from either the beginning or the end of the line feature at a specified deflection angle and length
Line	Line	Offset tangent	Creates a dynamic line that is offset from either the beginning or the end of the line feature at a specified distance
Line	Line	Suppress outline	Creates a dynamic line that hides sections of line features between two sets of (representation) control points
