Public Property Values As IDictionary(Of String,String)

public IDictionary<string,string> Values {get; set;}

For a symbol within the SymbolDictionaryType.Mil2525C dictionary the Values property aggregates a number of MIL-STD-2525C properties and some additional functional properties:

• Category e.g. "Sea Subsurface"
• SymbolID e.g. "GHGPGPUYB-----X"
• StyleFile e.g. "C2 Military Operations.style"
• GeometryType e.g. "Point", "Polyline" or "Polygon"
• GeometryConversionType e.g. "Point"

The values GeometryType and GeometryConversionType can be used to how to construct a symbol from control points. Approximately 95% of the symbols have a GeometryConversionType value of Point, Polyline or Polygon allowing for a straightforward construction of the symbol geometry for example from a user drawn graphic feature. In the remaining approximately 5% of cases, the symbols require a more complex arrangement of control points. To identify these more complex GeometryConversionTypes you can query the MIL-STD-2525C / APP-6B symbol dictionary.
