      Set up your point styles

      The Point Style Properties dialogue is used to specify the settings used to display a point feature.

           There are two different ways to define the style :

                - Font Symbol,

                - Image Symbol,

      point-style

           Name: The style name is set by default. When a layer has a single style, the name of the style is the name of the layer. When a layer has multiple styles, the name of each style is the feature's value used as a category.

           Legend: Sets the name that will be displayed in the layer control and the legend panel of the published map.

           Point Style

                Type: Displays point features using a Font Symbol or an Image Symbol.

           Font Symbol

                A font symbol uses a true type font as the source of the style.

      An image symbol uses one or more bitmap images as the source of the style.
