Editing styles |
The «Editing styles» mode is a tool for creating and editing styles for describing conventional symbols and assigning them to selected lists of objects.
Operating modes
Description of the style represents a set of object types by localizations: - linear, - polygon, - point, - vector, - title.
Each localization can be assigned as a simple type, which is created by default, or a complex type, using modes of editing types: - change linear view; - change polygon view; - change point view; - change vector view; - change title view.
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.
