Controlling the placement of symbol captions
posted

How can I control the placement of a Symbol's captions?

Currently with a 'bubble' symbol the caption is appearing over the symbol I want it to display above by default.

Further for some of my applications I want to one piece a caption above the symbol and a value below the symbol, is this possible?

    Hi dmurraylaing,
    A sample approach to achieve this, using a picture as a symbol, is the following:
            <igMap:XamMap x:Name="xamMap1">
                <igMap:XamMap.Layers>
                    <igMap:MapLayer x:Name="MapLayer" IsAutoWorldRect="True">
                        <igMap:MapLayer.Reader>
                            <igMap:ShapeFileReader Uri="Shapefiles/world/world" DataMapping="Caption=CNTRY_NAME; Value=POP_CNTRY"/>
                        </igMap:MapLayer.Reader>
                  
                    <igMap:MapLayer.ValueTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <Grid>
                                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                        <RowDefinition/>
                                        <RowDefinition/>
                                        <RowDefinition/>
                                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Caption}" Grid.Row="0"/>
                                    <Image Source="Images/pizza.jpg" Height="50" Width="50" Grid.Row="1"/>
                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Value}" Grid.Row="2"/>
                                </Grid>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </igMap:MapLayer.ValueTemplate>
                    </igMap:MapLayer>
                </igMap:XamMap.Layers>
            </igMap:XamMap>
      
    Hope that helps,
