Style Point Dialog

The style point dialog is opened when you click on a style preview in the Layer Styles panel and the geometric type of the feature class is point. The style point dialog allows you to choose a symbol type, style and orientation.

Symbol

To enable a point symbol, select a symbol type from the symbol select box. You can choose from pre-defined mark symbols, fonts, and library symbols. You can also choose not to display a symbol by selecting 'No Symbol'.

Mark symbols

Mark symbols are pre-defined by the server. You can select from the following mark symbols:

• Square
• Circle
• Triangle
• Star
• Cross
• Plus

If you choose a mark symbol, you can set the width and height of the symbol.

Font symbols

You can use a true-type font character as a point symbol. Choose 'Font Symbol' from the Symbol list and then type in the font name, character to use, and size

Symbol Library

You can use a symbol from a Symbol Library as a point symbol. Choose 'Symbol Library' from the Symbol list and then choose a Symbol Libary resource, one of the symbols in the library, and its size

Style

Fill Color

Enter an 8 digit hex code (AARRGGBB) for the fill color.

Border Color

Enter an 8 digit hex code (AARRGGBB) for the border color.

Orientation

You can choose how to orient the symbol relative to its geographic location using the following properties:

Reference Point

The reference point (x and y) determines what point in the symbol is to be placed at the geographic location represented by the point. By default, a symbol is centered over its point.

Rotation

A point symbol may be rotated around its point. You may enter a rotation angle between 0 and 360 degrees, or click the [...] button to launch the expression builder to create a number expression to use as the rotation angle.

Units

Units

This controls the units used when interpreting the size of a symbol. Select from Points (72 points per inch), Millimeters, Inches or Centimeters.
