| MGSymbolAttr.Symbol |
|
Gets or sets the symbol to be used as the point attribute.
If the specified symbol contains bitmaps, and the current rotation angle is non-zero, the symbol will be set, and the rotation angle will be set to zero.
Currently, the API can only access symbols in the API symbol list. The API symbol list is an MWF or EMF file containing a small set of predefined symbols. You can use the Autodesk MapGuide user interface to create additional API symbols. For more information, refer to "Adding Symbols for Use with the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API" and "API Symbol Manager dialog box" in the MapGuide Help.
Note that for write operations, this property does not work during a busy state. For additional information, refer to "Handling Busy State and Map Refresh" chapter in the Autodesk MapGuide Developer's Guide.
String (read/write)
-1 (busy): For write operations only.
