Used to draw polygon features on the graphics layer using an image that gets repeated over and over. The image format can be a PNG, JPG or GIF (but not svg or swf). In addition, the fill symbol can have an optional outline, which is defined by a line symbol.

Constructor detail
PictureFillSymbol()constructor
public function PictureFillSymbol(source:Object = null, width:Number = 0, height:Number = 0, xscale:Number = 1, yscale:Number = 1, xoffset:Number = 0, yoffset:Number = 0, outline:SimpleLineSymbol = null)

Creates a new PictureFillSymbol.

Note 1: in version 1.1 and earlier, the default width and height was 10x10, but as of version 1.2 the default is 0x0.

Note 2: with the introduction of xscale and yscale in version 1.3, the parameters for the constructor was changed.

Note 3: 'xoffset' and 'yoffset' were added to the constructor in version 1.3.

Parameters
source:Object (default = null) — Source of the image (embedded images).
 
width:Number (default = 0) — Width of the image in pixels (default was 10 in version 1.1 and earlier, but is 0 as of version 1.2).
 
height:Number (default = 0) — Height of the image in pixels (default was 10 in version 1.1 and earlier, but is 0 as of version 1.2).
 
xscale:Number (default = 1) — Scale factor in x direction (added to constructor in version 1.3).
 
yscale:Number (default = 1) — Scale factor in y direction (added to constructor in version 1.3).
 
xoffset:Number (default = 0) — The offset on the x-axis in pixels (added to constructor in version 1.3).
 
yoffset:Number (default = 0) — The offset on the y-axis in pixels (added to constructor in version 1.3).
 
outline:SimpleLineSymbol (default = null) — The picture fill outline.
