Each marker symbol layer must include a marker placement style that determines how representation markers are placed relative to input geometry. The marker placement style component of a marker symbol layer allows a marker symbol layer to be added to any type of input geometry. Each marker placement style has a set of properties that can be modified on a feature-by-feature basis during an edit session, creating overrides to the representation rule.
