   ILayoutElementContainer elementContainer,
   Polyline polyline,
   CIMLineSymbol lineSymbol
)

Overloads Function CreateFreehandGraphicElement( _
   ByVal elementContainer As ILayoutElementContainer, _
   ByVal polyline As Polyline, _
   Optional ByVal lineSymbol As CIMLineSymbol _
) As GraphicElement

Parameters

elementContainer: Layout or GroupElement
polyline: Polyline
lineSymbol: CIMLineSymbol

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.

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 a graphic freehand element with a simple line style.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  List<Coordinate2D> plCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>();
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.5, 10.5));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.25, 9.5));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 10.5));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(0.75, 9.5));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(0.5, 10.5));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(0.5, 1));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(0.75, 2));
  plCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 1));
  Polyline linePl = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(plCoords);

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMLineSymbol lineSym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid);
  GraphicElement lineElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateLineGraphicElement(layout, linePl, lineSym);
  lineElm.SetName("New Freehand");
});
