I am interested in building a Text Symbol whose width I can control. What is the best way to go about this? Using the CIM viewer plugin in ArcGIS Pro I was able to come up with a symbol definition that gets me closer to this (by using the ScaleX attribute on the CIMPointSymbol) but I am not sure how to build this using the Symbology API. Unlike a SimpleMarkerSymbol , the text symbol cannot be converted to a multilayer symbol. Ideally I would like to set the raw width value instead of a scale on the x axis since I know the bounding box width of my text.
I am currently trying to do this by using the json representation of the symbol but wondering if it there might be a simpler way.
See attachments for the symbol definitions.
Thank you!
