"Style" Tab

"Style" Tab: Used to set the uniform font style for label objects (text) in the current Uniform Label thematic map. Notably, the Uniform Style supports setting font type, size, rotation angle, and font color through property field selection, enabling customized label configurations to meet diverse display requirements.

Font: Sets the font for label text in thematic maps. The combo box provides various font options, supports vertical display by adding @ before font names, and includes a "Recent Fonts" group for quick access.

When Start Expression is checked, fonts can be dynamically set using property fields, enabling customized font variations within the same thematic map. For details, see: Custom Label Settings Instructions.
