I finally found how to make a shapefile with polygons. What I need to achieve is to create a person silhuette (transparent png that I have) and have polygons within it. I draw everything in adobeIllustrator export it and then use the converter to create the shapefile. However the person silhuette graphics doesnt seem to be included in the shapefile. Could I just include the png file as a maplayer? help much appreciated
Hi genvej,
Let me know if you have any questions on this matter.
I think this forum thread will provide a good solution to your requirement.http://community.infragistics.com/forums/p/51539/269406.aspx
The XamMap has a viewport background property that you can assign an image brush containing your PNG image. Alternatively, if your MapLayer only has one MapElement you can set the MapElement's Fill property to your image.
