You can set styles for point layers in two ways through the Styles Tab and Layer Style Panel.
Styles Tab
The Point Style group in the Styles tab is used to set the style of point objects in point layers. The features in this group are only available when the currently selected layer is a point layer.
The Symbols drop-down button in the Point Style group is used to set the style of point symbols.
The color button in the Point Style group is used to set the color of point symbols in the point layer.
- Symbols
- Click the Symbols drop-down button to pop up the point symbol resource list. The upper part of the list displays recent symbols for the user, and the lower part provides the system's default root group symbol library. You can select a symbol from the list as the symbol style for point objects in the current point layer based on your needs.
- You can also click the More Symbols... button at the bottom of the point symbol resource list to open the Marker Symbol Selector window and set the symbol style for point objects.
- When you select a point symbol style, all point objects in the current point layer are displayed in real time using the selected point symbol style.
- Color
- Click the drop-down button next to the color button. You can select a default color or customize another color from the color panel. After confirming the point symbol color, the point symbols in the current point layer will apply this color setting.
- The color panel lists Recent Colors.
- Additionally, some symbols in the marker symbol library resource are specialized symbols (mainly raster symbols) with fixed colors. Modifying the color of such point symbols is ineffective.
- Marker Size
Size is used to set the size of point symbols in the point layer.
- You can set the point symbol size by selecting options from the combo box drop-down list. Alternatively, enter a value in the combo box and press Enter or when the text box loses focus to apply the marker size setting.
- The marker size value has a precision of 0.1 and is measured in millimeters.
Layer Style Panel
- Two ways to open the layer style panel:
- Double-click the point layer in the layer manager.
- Right-click the point layer in the layer manager and select the Layer Style button.
In the layer style panel, you can set styles such as marker style, color, marker size, rotation angle, and symbol transparency. The panel is organized similarly to the Marker Symbol Selector. For detailed descriptions of styles, refer to Point Symbol Style Settings.
Tip:- The current settings take effect in real time for all point objects in the entire point layer.
