extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IArrowMarkerSymbol, IMapLevel, ISymbol, ISymbolRotation, IPersistStream, IPersist, IClone, IDisplayName, IMarkerMask, IPropertySupport, Externalizable

A marker symbol created from a predefined arrow.

Description

The ArrowMarkerSymbol can be used to draw a marker graphic or point feature using a preset arrowhead.

The Length and Width properties set the dimensions of the arrow. Note that the Length property equals the inherited Size property, so you can set the relative length and width of the arrow using the Length and Width properties and then scale the arrow marker using the Size property.

Specified by:
queryMarkerMask in interface IMarkerMask
Parameters:
hDC - The hDC (A COM typedef) (in)
transform - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ITransformation (in)
geometry - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IGeometry (in)
boundary - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPolygon (in)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.

applies

public boolean applies(Object pUnk)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
Indicates if the receiver can apply the given object at any given time.

Remarks

Applies indicates whether the specified object can be applied to the current object. For instance, we might want to ask our CircleElement whether a Color object applies to it. If it does, then we can use the Apply method to update our CircleElement with the new Color object.

CanApply differs from Applies in that it is a check for the editability of the object at any given time. Applies indicates whether an object can be applied at all, while CanApply indicates whether an object can be applied at that particular moment.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
applies in interface IPropertySupport
Parameters:
pUnk - A reference to another Object (IUnknown) (in)
Returns:
The applies
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

public boolean canApply(Object pUnk)
                 throws IOException,
