ICharacterMarker3DSymbol Interface

Provides access to members that control the 3D marker symbol.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

Description

ICharacterMarker3DSymbol can be used to create a 3D marker symbol that uses the TrueType fonts or OpenType fonts. You can set/get the Font and CharacterIndex properties to control the font and glyph used. TheVerticalOrientation property allows you to set/get the vertical orientation of the 3D character marker symbol.

Use the IMarker3DPlacement interface to set additional properties for ICharacterMarker3DSymbol.
