Description

Symbol used to label point, line, and polygon layers.

Restrictions

Outline and glowing should not be used together; use one or the other.
Not valid with ArcMap Server.

Notes

TEXTSYMBOL is used to label features in layers. To add text to an acetate layer, use TEXT.
Font sizes are handled differently in ArcMap Image Services and Image Services. A font of the same size used in an ArcMap map document will be larger than when used in an Image Service map configuration file. For example, Arial font size 12 in an ArcMap Image Service will appear larger than the same font in an Image Service.

Attribute Descriptions for TEXTSYMBOL

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.
blockout	Provides a background behind text. Select color using RGB values.
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.
glowing	Glow color around text using RGB values.
interval	Distance in pixels from point 0.
outline	Outline color using RGB values.
printmode	Determines how labels are printed. If "none" is used, no change is made to the label: Welcome to ArcIMS. If "alllower" is used, all letters are lowercase: welcome to arcims. If "allupper" is used, all letters are uppercase: WELCOME TO ARCIMS. If "titlecaps" is used, the first letter of each word in a label is uppercase and everything else is lowercase: Welcome To Arcims.
shadow	Shadow color using RGB values.
transparency	Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
