Class Overview

The Graphic class is used to represent a feature that can have any of the following types:

Graphic objects are immutable, which means its state cannot change after construction. When a Graphic object is added to a GraphicsLayer via the GraphicsLayer#addGraphic(Graphic) method, this method returns a unique ID (UID) which you can then use to reference the added graphic for subsequent operations. Graphic objects are stateless so there is no guarantee that a feature in the GraphicsLayer exists after the request for the Graphic object is completed.

Graphic objects can be displayed, altered and removed using a GraphicsLayer (see the GraphicsLayer class for more details)

Name-value pairs of fields and their connected field values that are associated with the graphic.

Public Constructors

public Graphic (Geometry geometry, Symbol symbol)

Instantiates a new Graphic object.

Parameters
geometry the geometry to draw;
symbol the symbol to draw the geometry with.

public Graphic (Geometry geometry, Symbol symbol, int drawOrder)

Instantiates a new Graphic object.

Parameters
