Take the 2-minute tour ×  Evening Guys, I am new to ArcGIS, and
currently developing a small app that uses ArcGIS Javascript
API.  I have encountered a couple of problems while working on
this and would greatly appreciate if somebody could help/point
me to the right direction.  I have about 5000 points that I am
returning from a database, parsing them, and displaying on my
map (a state in the USA). When my app finishes rendering, the
entire state is full of points and you cant make anything out of
it. Now, so my understanding, simplemakersymbols, when declared
have pixel size, so you cant increase the size dynamically when
zooming in. Is there any alternative to this?  I tried first
declaring a smaller size, and then once zoomed in to a certain
scale, I redeclare all the points with a larger pixel size
value. Hence all this rendering and rerendering takes a while
before all the points are displayed again. So is there a better
way to accomplish this task?  Edit 1.0: I am using arcgis 10.1
and create points bas
