Design and Implementation of Point Symbol Database Based on ArcGIS Engine

Abstract:

In this article, geometric primitive approach is used to realize the design and development of point symbol database for mapping based on C# .NET and ArcGIS Engine. This paper presents the design framework and the design process of point symbol database, and studies design method and attribute management of point symbol, especially the design of point symbol attribute of word type of TrueType, which makes conveniently the point symbol for special map users needed.
