/AWS1/IF_LOC=>GETMAPGLYPHS()

About GetMapGlyphs

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend upgrading to GetGlyphs unless you require Grab data.

  • GetMapGlyphs is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Maps API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

  • The version 2 GetGlyphs operation gives a better user experience and is compatible with the remainder of the V2 Maps API.

  • If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Maps API version 2 is found under geo-maps or geo_maps, not under location.

  • Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Maps API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.

  • Start your version 2 API journey with the Maps V2 API Reference or the Developer Guide.

Retrieves glyphs used to display labels on a map.

Syntax Example

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->getmapglyphs(
  iv_fontstack = |string|
  iv_fontunicoderange = |string|
  iv_key = |string|
  iv_mapname = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_blob = lo_result->get_blob( ).
  lv_string = lo_result->get_contenttype( ).
  lv_string = lo_result->get_cachecontrol( ).
ENDIF.
