  • Adds a symbol or icon (i.e. an image) to represent data points when data is rendered visually. Users must provide the symbol identifier (string), a format (currently supported: ‘svg’ and ‘svg_path’), the data for the symbol, and any additional optional parameter (e.g. color). To have a symbol used for rendering create a table with a string column named ‘SYMBOLCODE’ (along with ‘x’ or ‘y’ for example). Then when the table is rendered (via WMS) if the ‘dosymbology’ parameter is ‘true’ then the value of the ‘SYMBOLCODE’ column is used to pick the symbol displayed for each point.

    Parameters

    • symbol_id: string

      The id of the symbol being added. This is the same id that should be in the ‘SYMBOLCODE’ column for objects using this symbol.

    • symbol_format: string

      Specifies the symbol format. Must be either ‘svg’ or ‘svg_path’.

    • symbol_data: string

      The actual symbol data. If symbol_format is ‘svg’ then this should be the raw bytes representing an svg file. If symbol_format is svg path then this should be an svg path string; for example: ‘M25.979,12.896,5.979,12.896,5.979,19.562,25.979,19.562z’.

    • Optionaloptions: Record<string, string>

      Optional parameters.

    • Optionalcallback: GPUdbCallback

      Optional callback function

    Returns Promise<InsertSymbolResponse>

    Promise<Types.InsertSymbolResponse> - Promise resolving to the response
