Interface AimsSymbol

All Known Implementing Classes:

AimsCallOutMarkerSymbol, AimsChartSymbol, AimsGradientFillSymbol, AimsHashLineSymbol, AimsRasterFillSymbol, AimsRasterMarkerSymbol, AimsRasterShieldSymbol, AimsShieldSymbol, AimsSimpleLineSymbol, AimsSimpleMarkerSymbol, AimsSimplePolygonSymbol, AimsTextMarkerSymbol, AimsTextSymbol, AimsTrueTypeMarkerSymbol

public interface AimsSymbol

This interface is used to group the dozen or so symbols into a common object so that they can be accessed without knowing the true class. If a method returns an AimsSymbol, you will probably need to cast it to the true class (eg. AimsSimpleMarkerSymbol) before using.
