Add label/text to esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol

Question

How can I add label or text on the ESRI's PictureMarkerSymbol (Javascript API)?

I could use any other marker as well that support labels.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Add the marker and then add textSymbol to show labels on the markers. Like this:

var markerGraphic = layer.add(new esri.Graphic(point, new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol('images/pin.png', 38, 44).setOffset(0,15)));
var textSymbol = layer.add(new esri.Graphic(point, new esri.symbol.TextSymbol(counter).setOffset(0,12)));
