Attribute Descriptions for SHIELDSYMBOL

Attribute	Usage
antialiasing	Used to make edges of labels and symbols smoother. When set to "true", antialiasing is active. Note that the time to generate a map may significantly increase when antialiasing is turned on. However, with the shieldsymbol, the edges of the symbol are noticeably rough when antialiasing is set to "false".
bottomcolor	For interstate symbols, bottomcolor refers to the bottom-most section of the shield. This color is usually blue. For the other symbol types, this attribute is ignored.
font	Font name. The name is case sensitive. If font name uses "&", use "&" instead. For example, ESRI Transportation & Civic should be written as ESRI Transportation & Civic. For Feature Services, the font must reside on the client machine or else the system default font is used.
fontcolor	Font color using RGB values.
fontsize	Font size.
fontstyle	Font style.
labelmode	Determines what value is drawn on the shield. If "full" is used, the entire field value, such as I-80, is displayed. If "numericonly" is used, only numbers within the field are displayed. For example, I-80 is displayed as 80.
middlecolor	For interstate symbols, middlecolor refers to the thin stripe separating the top and bottom colors of the shield. This color is usually black. For the other symbol types, this attribute is ignored.
minsize	Sets shield size to minimum size in characters. By default, shield expands to length of text.
shadow	Shadow color using RGB values.
topcolor	For interstate symbols, topcolor refers to the topmost section of the shield. This color is usually red. For the other symbol types, topcolor is the body color.
type	Symbol type.
