Thanks all for the suggestions.
1. For print custom markers. I added printImage and it worked. But I
get not get rid of the shadow.
Following is the code.
function getIcon(myImage, w, h)
{
var icon = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON);
icon.image = "images/" + myImage; // 1. the image
is a simple gif file.
icon.printImage = "images/" + myImage; // 2. After I
added this. It WORKED.
icon.iconSize = new GSize(w, h);
icon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(w/2, h/2);
icon.shadow = "";
icon.printShasow = "images/1x1.GIF";
// 3. I tried empty string also. just can NOT get rid of the
shadow. HELP
return icon;
}
2. I am developing a Windows (not web pages) application. That's why I
don't have a web page for you for look at. But this brought up my new
question about licensing. Do I have to use the premier service? (Note:
My application is for a major chain store. Map is part of the
application. But there are sensitive store information that they do
not want to disclose to the public)
Thanks again for all your help.
