Interface IMarkerTextBackground

All Superinterfaces:

ITextBackground, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

MarkerTextBackground

public interface IMarkerTextBackground
extends ITextBackground, Serializable

Provides access to members that control the marker text background.

Description

IMarkerTextBackground can be used to display a marker symbol in conjunction with text. Any marker supported by the IMarkerSymbol interface can be used as the background. These include: ICharacterMarkerSymbol, ISimpleMarkerSymbol, IArrowMarkerSymbol, and IPictureMarkerSymbol. Use the ITextBackground interface to set additional properties for IMarkerTextBackground.

Remarks

Set the MarkerSymbol you wish to use as a background using the Symbol property. The ScaleToFit property defaults to False--set this property to True if you want the Symbol to draw large enough to fit the entire text string. The Symbol object's Size property does not actually change, only its appearance when drawn.

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

boolean	isScaleToFit() Indicates if the marker symbol is scaled to fill the text box.
void	setScaleToFit(boolean scale) Indicates if the marker symbol is scaled to fill the text box.
