A Shield object is used to render a road shield on a street. Greater flexibility can be achieved by using it in conjunction with ShieldMap objects.

Syntax

cam

Copy

SHIELD<part, label, symbol>

Examples

cam

Copy

SHIELD<num_only, !whiteText, icon<canada_hwy>>
SHIELD<whole, !whiteText, !mroad_Box>

Parameters

part

One of first_num, num_only, num_word, or whole must be provided to tell the shield what part of the highway name to render.

Note
first_num specifies the highway name starting at the first number, num_only specified the first number only, num_word specifies the first number and any letters in the same word, and whole specifies the entire highway name. Thus, for example, if the highway name is "Schuykill Expressway I-76N US-30W", then: first_num is "76N US-30W" num_only is "76" num_word is "76N" whole is "Schuykill Expressway I-76N US-30W"

Note

first_num specifies the highway name starting at the first number, num_only specified the first number only, num_word specifies the first number and any letters in the same word, and whole specifies the entire highway name. Thus, for example, if the highway name is "Schuykill Expressway I-76N US-30W", then:

first_num is "76N US-30W"
num_only is "76"
num_word is "76N"
whole is "Schuykill Expressway I-76N US-30W"

label

A label object to use for rendering the shield's text

Note
If this label object is set to render on an auxiliary layer (via the auxiliarylayer parameter), then the shield object will also be rendered on this layer.

symbol

A dot, box or icon object to use as the shield itself.
