Each localization can be assigned as a simple type, which is created by default, or a complex type, using modes of editing types:

When adding a style, the name and type of symbolic signs are assigned automatically.

To assign a style to a list of objects, you need to click the «Assign» button or double-click on the style name in the tree. For lists of objects, the point and vector localization types are combined into a single type. The description of the point type is used as a raster background. If only one type is needed, the second one can be cleared using the «Clear view» mode.

When a style is modified, a backup copy of the style file is created. The backup copy is named by adding «~» to the original file name. For example, style1.xml –> style1.xml~».

When the dialog is opened, if styles have already been created or copied to the directory «c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\styles\» they will be automatically read and added to the dialog along with all subdirectories (themes) located relative to the styles directory.
