Description

Symbolizes point features using one of the predefined symbol types: circle, triangle, square, cross, or star.

Restrictions

Overlap is valid only for Image Services. It is ignored when using Feature Services.
The attribute usecentroid is not valid with acetate layers.
In ArcMap Image Services, symbol is valid only in acetate layers or when using LAYERDEF.
Known limitation with outline in ArcMap Image Services: An outline does not show when the attribute type is "triangle" or "star".

Attribute Descriptions for SIMPLEMARKERSYMBOL

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.
color	Symbol color using RGB values.
outline	Outline color using RGB values.
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.
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.
type	Symbol type.
usecentroid	The default value for this attribute is "true" for Image Services and "false" for Feature Services. When "false", a marker symbol used on polygon layers draws markers at all polygon vertices. When "true", a marker is placed in the centroid of the polygon. If multiple polygon parts exist, the marker falls on the part with the biggest area. This attribute not valid with acetate layers.
width	Symbol width in pixels.
