Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The size

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setSize

void setSize(double size)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

IColor getColor()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Marker symbol color.

Description

Color is the color of a marker symbol. Any of the Arc Map color interfaces may be used to create the color object.

Color is not supported by the BarChartSymbol coclass.

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.display.IColor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setColor

void setColor(IColor color)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Marker symbol color.

Description

Color is the color of a marker symbol. Any of the Arc Map color interfaces may be used to create the color object.

Color is not supported by the BarChartSymbol coclass.

getAngle

double getAngle()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Marker symbol angle.

Description

Angle is the number of degrees (0-360) that marker symbol is rotated. Rotation direction is counterclockwise and Arc Map assumes that directionality of the marker is horizontal (pointing in the positive X direction of a cartesian plane).

Marker symbol angle.

Description

Angle is the number of degrees (0-360) that marker symbol is rotated. Rotation direction is counterclockwise and Arc Map assumes that directionality of the marker is horizontal (pointing in the positive X direction of a cartesian plane).

Angle is not supported by the BarChartSymbol coclass.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms
