Set the stroke style of the dot symbol

The stroke style of the point symbol is set through the corresponding dialog box. Since the stroke of the point symbol is divided into point, line, surface and Text, the stroke style settings dialog box has different contents accordingly, which can be roughly divided into Line Style, Fill Style and Text Style.

Get Stroke Style Settings Dialog Box

In the Stroke Manager area of the Marker Symbol Editor, select a stroke in the stroke list (you can select more than one stroke to implement the Stroke Style Batch Settings), and then click the Properties button on the Stroke Manager toolbar or right-click. Select the Attribute item in the Context Menu to pop up the Attribute dialog box. This dialog box is used to modify the stroke style and set the style of the drawn stroke. The content of this dialog box varies according to different stroke types.
In the Marker Symbol Editor, the Style Settings dialog box of the corresponding stroke type pops up through the buttons on the toolbar as shown below. You can set the point, line, surface and Text style to determine the style of the drawn point, line, surface and Text.

Stroke Style Settings for Face Type (including Border and Fill Style for Face)

For stroke Style Settings of existing face type, set it in the "Properties" dialog box, as shown in the following figure:

The contents of the Border area are used to set the border line style of the face object.

Brush Color: Sets the line color.
Fix Pen Color: If the check box is checked, the color of the set line is fixed, that is, when the map is symbolized, the color of the line of the Fix Pen Color in the point symbol cannot be changed by Marker Symbol Selector. If the check box is not checked, it means that the color can be modified by the Marker Symbol Selector when the map is symbolized.
Brush Type: Sets the line style of the line.
Width: Sets the thickness of the line in millimeters.

The contents of the Fill area are used to set the Fill Style of the face object.

Brush Color: Sets the color of the fill content.
Fix Color: If the check box is checked, the set Fill Color is fixed, that is, the color of the filled area of the Fix Brush Color: in the point symbol cannot be changed by Marker Symbol Selector during map symbolization. If the check box is not checked, it means that the color can be modified by the Marker Symbol Selector when the map is symbolized.
Brush Type: Sets the style of the fill content.
Fill Transparency: Sets the transparency of the fill from 0 to 100, with 0 being completely opaque and 100 being completely transparent. The value can be set either by entering the value or by clicking the increase or decrease button.

In addition to the above Style Settings, the Fill Settings gradient style of the opposite stroke is also available, and the gradient mainly uses a two-color gradient, that is, a transition from the start color to the end color, where the start color is specified by Brush Color, the end color is specified by Gradient Background, and The start color of the gradient can control whether the color of the symbol can be modified during application by means of Fix Color. However, once the end color of the gradient is set, it cannot be modified during application of the symbol.

If you want to set the gradient style, you need to select a Gradient Mode. By default, the Gradient Mode is None, that is, the gradient style is not used. Therefore, you need to select any desired gradient mode. Four gradient modes are provided here: linear, radial, conical, and square.
Gradient Background, which specifies the ending color of the gradient.
Gradient Horizontal/Offset Y:, used to specify the percentage by which the gradient sets the horizontal or vertical offset of the center point of the Gradient Fill from the center point of the fill range.
Gradient Angle to specify the direction of color gradient for Gradient Fill. This parameter value mainly affects Linear, Square, and Conical, and has no effect on Radial.

The Fill Style setting of the face stroke is similar to the Gradient Fill in the Fill Style Settings operation for the face object in the map. Please refer to Gradient Fill in the Set Fill symbol style for details.
