Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API I like this suggestion as well, but I don't believe it's feasible with the sheer number of points involved at small scales. I will keep this in mind for the future though - thanks. |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API Yes, I looked at those as well, but the prospect of recreating all my symbology on the client side is not very desirable - in addition to subclassing the Cluster Layer to do what I need I would have to create images of each of my graduated symbols (with transparent backgrounds and semi-transparent halos), which number around 50, and configure the proper renderers. Another downside to this approach is that every client is downloading way more data than they need, then throwing a bunch of it out, which is not optimal for server or client. I'm going to re-evaluate your thinning suggestion above. |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API Another good suggestion Stephen. It's probably the closest solution but unfortunately I don't think I can replicate my complex symbology using a Cluster Layer & client-side renderers (see edits/screenshot above). I also tried using FeatureLayers (without clustering), which uses the service symbology by default, but it wasn't applying my value-based rotation. |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API It will be on a website - I'm using the ArcGIS Javascript API to load the service as a DynamicMapServiceLayer. |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API I agree #6 is a good idea, but unfortunately I can't use it for 2 reasons: 1) I need to publish this as an ArcGIS Server Dynamic Map Service (forgot to mention this, sorry), and using Maplex may reduce performance; and 2) I need to apply a symbol rotation based on another (angular) data value, which I don't think is possible using a simple font character (correct me if I'm wrong). |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API Thanks Stephen - +1 for a good suggestion - but this too is what I was trying to avoid. My dataset will change sometimes every 6 minutes, and data points can appear or disappear during each update, so preprocessing might put too much strain on the system when running so frequently. I can't use graduated symbols either; I need to use the same symbology as an individual point. I was hoping the Arc drawing engine could take care of this for me, but it doesn't look like that's the case. |

Prevent drawing of overlapping point symbols - ArcGIS Server/Javascript API I appreciate your suggestions John, but unfortunately none of those options are what I'm looking for. #'s 1, 3, 4, and 5 each involve offsetting features, which is not feasible in my case as I need to preserve the feature's location (plus there would be too many features to display, even after dispersing). #2 won't work because I need to show a real data value rather than a combined value (the Integrate tool won't work either for the same reason). #6 is the closest to what I need but my symbology is too complex to be drawn with a simple font symbol. Thanks anyway though; +1 for effort. |
