CreateCurvedTextGraphicElement(ILayoutElementContainer,Polyline,String,CIMTextSymbol) Method

Creates a graphic Curved text element on a layout from a polyline geometry with an added parameter to set the text symbol. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public GraphicElement CreateCurvedTextGraphicElement( 
   ILayoutElementContainer elementContainer,
   Polyline polyline,
   string text,
   CIMTextSymbol textSymbol
)

Public Overloads Function CreateCurvedTextGraphicElement( _
   ByVal elementContainer As ILayoutElementContainer, _
   ByVal polyline As Polyline, _
   Optional ByVal text As String, _
   Optional ByVal textSymbol As CIMTextSymbol _
) As GraphicElement

Parameters

elementContainer: Layout or GroupElement
polyline: Polyline
text: String
textSymbol: CIMTextSymbol

Return Value

Returns a GraphicElement.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.InvalidOperationException	Map has reached maximum graphics count limit of 4000 elements. One or more elements cannot be created.
System.InvalidOperationException	Map has reached maximum graphics size limit of 10 MB. One or more elements cannot be created.

Remarks

If the element container is a Layout then the element gets added to the root level of the layout TOC at the top most position. If the element container is a GroupElement then it gets added to the group at the topmost position.

Example

//Create curve text with basic text properties.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  Coordinate2D pt1 = new Coordinate2D(3.6, 7.5);
  Coordinate2D pt2 = new Coordinate2D(4.26, 8);
  Coordinate2D pt3 = new Coordinate2D(4.93, 7.1);
  Coordinate2D pt4 = new Coordinate2D(5.6, 7.5);
  CubicBezierBuilder bez = new CubicBezierBuilder(pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4);
  CubicBezierSegment bezSeg = bez.ToSegment();
  Polyline bezPl = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(bezSeg);

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMTextSymbol sym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 24, "Comic Sans MS", "Regular");
  GraphicElement bezTxtElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateCurvedTextGraphicElement(layout, bezPl, "Curved Text", sym);
  bezTxtElm.SetName("New Splinned Text");
});
