      Set up your polyline styles

      The Polyline Style Properties dialogue is used to specify the settings used to stroke a polyline feature.

      polyline-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.

      Stroke style

           Stroke Style: Sets the stroke style to use for the feature.

      • None: No stroke is drawn for the polygon.

        stroke-none
      • Line: The stroke is a solid line. Open the Color Picker dialogue to define the stroke colour.

      • Dashed: The stroke is a dashed line.

        stroke-dashed
        - Open the Color Picker dialogue to define the stroke colour.
        - The dash pattern is expressed by a series of alternating numbers (on/off) of pixel length in the text box beside the colour button. E.g. [pixels on] [pixels off] [pixels on] [pixels off]. Simply enter in the numbers separated by a space character.
