Format map objects
Change the way objects in the map appear, without changing the objects themselves:
- Assign visual properties to object groups, or to objects that match certain criteria.
- Use themes to vary visual properties based on attribute values.
- Save display layer definitions (which include styling information and pointers to the data source) for re-use.
- Use special formatting options for raster images to show hillshade, contours, and more.
