PictureFillSymbol

require(["esri/symbols/PictureFillSymbol"], function(PictureFillSymbol) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/symbols/PictureFillSymbol
Inheritance: PictureFillSymbol FillSymbol Symbol Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

PictureFillSymbol uses an image in a repeating pattern to symbolize polygon features in a 2D MapView. A url must point to a valid image. In addition, the symbol can have an optional outline, which is defined by a SimpleLineSymbol. PictureFillSymbols may be applied to polygon features in a FeatureLayer or an individual Graphic.

PictureFillSymbol is not supported in 3D SceneView. Only use it when working in a MapView.

The image below depicts a Graphic that is styled with a PictureFillSymbol.

Autocasting support

As of version 4.5 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, autocasting is universally supported for all renderers, symbols, and symbol layers in the API. So there is no need to include this module in the require() and define() module loaders of your application unless you intend to use the static method(s) of this module.

Example:
var symbol = {
  type: "picture-fill",  // autocasts as new PictureFillSymbol()
  url: "https://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Shapes/BlackStarLargeB.png",
  width: "24px",
  height: "24px"
  outline: {
    style: "solid"
  },
};

// height in points
symbol.height = "16pt";

The outline of the polygon.

Example:
var sym = {
  type: "simple-fill",  // autocasts as new SimpleFillSymbol()
  color: "red",
  outline: {  // autocasts as new SimpleLineSymbol()
