gvSIG-Desktop 1.10. User Manual
The following fill-in Types for polygonal geometry layers are available.
Simple fill-in:
You can choose the polygon fill-in colour and its opaqueness.
Click on the button where you can see the outline and the simple symbol of a line properties menu will open. Here you can configure the outline of the polygon as if it were a line.
You can give the outline the breadth and opaqueness you want.
Fill-in made up of simple mercators: You can make up a fill-in from various simples by “overlapping” them, it is the same method as that which is explained in the layers of points and lines.
Mercator fill-ins:
You can give the polygon a fill-in made up of different types of mercators, such as punctual, linear, image... with their own characteristics.
The fill-in can be organised in an aleatory way or in a regular mesh way.
There is the option to make compositions with various layers.
Line fill-in:
Instead of filling the polygon in with specific mercators you can do so with lines, you can give them the same properties that you gave a line layer, including the outlines.
As in all sections, here you can also create a composition through different layers.
Image fill-in:
You can fill-in the polygon of images and set their inclinations by indicating the angle and you can also scale them.
The way to fill-in the polygon of images is by giving them the specific route to the image. These images can be framed, click on “Outline” and select the line you want.
Gradient fill-in:
The possibility of gradually filling-in is available, you can select different options to configure the gradual scale of the colour, these options are:
- Intervals: Nº of intervals you want the gradual changing of the colour to be structured by.
- Percentage: You can chose to set the percentage of gradual change between 0 and 100%.
- Style: Select the style that you want for the fill-in from the drop-down menu.
- Angle: Angle of the fill-in colour.
- Colour gradient: Select the colour scale you want.
- Outline: Give the ploygon an outline, the process of this is the same as if it were a line.
