Overview

COMPLEXLINESYMBOL
Used to symbolize line features. Provides additional symbology options beyond SIMPLELINESYMBOL.
color optional
Line color.
decoration optional Restriction of xs:string
Location along the line symbol where decoration elements (e.g., arrows) are displayed.
interval optional Restriction of xs:double
The multiplier that determines the width of the marks and gaps in a pattern element. Each mark and gap value is multiplied by the interval when the line symbol is drawn.
linetype optional Restriction of xs:string
Type of complex line symbol.
offset optional Restriction of xs:int
The offset in points (approx. 1/72 inch) the line symbol will be shown away from the geometry it represents. The offset can be a positive (above/left) or negative (below/right) number.
pattern optional xs:string
Repeating pattern of marks and gaps that are used to draw the line symbol (e.g., GGGGGMGM).
width optional Restriction of xs:double
Line width in points.
Sequence
DECORATIONSYMBOL
Used to define a line decoration in a complex line symbol.
HASHSYMBOL
Used to define a hash symbol in a complex line symbol.
MARKERSYMBOL
Used to define the marker symbol in a complex line symbol.Used to define the marker symbol in a complex line symbol.

Examples

Restrictions

  • MARKERSYMBOL can only be used as a child element when the value of the linetype attribute is "marker".
  • HASHSYMBOL can only be used as a child element when the value of the linetype attribute is "hash".
  • DECORATIONSYMBOL can only be used as a child element when the value of the decoration attribute is not "none".
