PTV Group - Logistics Forum

Hi Oli,

one of my partners is familiar with the standard symbols we provide with PTV xServer.NET and which belong to Ptv.XServer.Controls.Map.Symbols.

Is it possible to create custom symbols including flexible size and colors? What is needed for that?

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

yes you can design arbitrary elements in Xaml and bind properties like colors and texts to it. See this demo for an actual implementation.

Just found further URLs in an old chat - maybe these documents could also help?

The following approach is base on "SVG icons that are converted to XAML":

• Build-your-custom-styleable-map-markers
• ToursAndStopsMultiCanvas
• svg-to-uwp-xaml-converter (Microsoft Appstore)
• SvgToXaml

And it is also possible to display images instead (though this is less beautiful)
