Restrictions

Overlap is valid only for Image Services. It is ignored when using Feature Services.
In ArcMap Image Services, symbol is valid only in acetate layers or when using LAYERDEF.
A line type of "dash_dot_dot_dot" is valid only with Image Services. If this value is used, a map configuration file cannot be read locally in ArcExplorer-Java Edition or in Author.

Attribute Descriptions for SIMPLELINESYMBOL

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.
captype	Line end style.
color	Symbol color using RGB values.
jointype	Line join style.
overlap	Determines if labels can overlap this symbol. When "true", labels can overlap. When "false", labels will not overlap the symbol. If labels are not drawing as expected, check if overlap is set to "false" for this symbol or any other symbol in the ArcIMS service.
transparency	Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
type	Line type.
width	Line width in pixels.
