setAngle

Angle of rotation in degrees.

Parameters:

setAngle="0.0 - 360.0" [0]

x
setAngleField

The field in the database that contains the angle of rotation for a TRUETYPEMARKERSYMBOL. The field can be in the layer table or in a joined table. Performance is generally better if the field name is all uppercase. When joined tables or fully qualified ArcSDE names are used for the field name in a map definition file, this file cannot be read locally in ArcGIS Server (ArcIMS) Author or ArcExplorer 9.

If both angle and anglefield are used, the attribute angle takes precedence.

Parameters:

setAngleField="string"

Parameters:

setAntialiasing="true|false" [false]
