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.
