SetIcon()

Sets the font and character or bitmap used to draw point features.

SetIcon(string lyr_set_name, string icon_type, string name, real size_or_index)

Argument	Contents
lyr_set_name	The name of the layer or selection set
icon_type	A string indicating the type of icon: "Font Character" or "Color Bitmap"
name	The name of a TrueType font (including size and style), or the name of the bitmap file
size_or_index	Index of a character in the font, or size of the bitmap in points

When used on a selection set, a null value for icon_type, font_name, or icon_index indicates that the default value for the layer should be used.
If lyr_set_name is null, SetIcon() operates on the current layer.
SetIcon() normally operates on the current map. You can force it to operate on a different map by including the map name in lyr_set_name. For instance, "Map1|LayerA|" affects the display of LayerA in Map1.

SetIcon("Cities|", "Font Character", "Arial|16", 44)

SetIcon("Cities|Capitals", "Font Character", "Arial|Bold|24", 48)

SetIcon("Cities|Large", "Color Bitmap", "c:\\temp\\large.bmp", 16)

Error Type	Meaning
NotFound	The layer or selection set does not exist
