Style Data
Use styles to change the appearance of objects and features in your map.
■ Assign visual properties to object groups, or to objects that match certain
criteria.
■ Create complex styles, such as roads with a thick black line with a double
yellow stripe down the middle. Use specific colors and line types for
different features.
■ Call out details with attribute-driven labels that provide text along a curve
and segment-stitching functionality.
■ Blend data using transparency.
■ Save and reuse styles in any project, saving time and streamlining map
production.
■ Save display layer definitions (which include styling information and
pointers to the data source) for reuse.
■ Export styles to share with others.
■ Use special formatting options for raster images to show hillshade, contours,
and more.
