Graphic elements are a type of Element and include inserted graphic points, lines, or area shapes. PictureElement and TextElement are also a type of graphic element.
The Graphic property returns a CIM representation of the graphic specific attributes for a GraphicElement. This may provide additional, finer grained properties exposed in the CIM that are not exposed in the managed API. SetGraphic applies the changes made to a modified CIMGraphic back to the GraphicElement.
The Clone method allows you to duplicate existing graphic elements on your page layout. This can be useful where you may have a variable number of pictures, for example, on each page in the map series. Rather than authoring a layout with all possibilities, a single picture element can be cloned and updated the appropriate number of times to reference a different set of pictures on disk for each page in the series.
