gvSIG-Desktop 1.10. User Manual

by Victor Acevedo last modified 2011-09-13 17:10

The Symbols tab is used to define advanced features of the legend being worked with.

When creating symbols for a legend it is important point to bear in mind the type of layer the symbols are being created for. This is important because there are two different types of vector layers to consider when making the symbols:

  • Single geometry layers: (point, line or polygon shp layers). In this case the Symbols tab allows you to create or edit symbology relevant to the geometry (lines, points or polygons), as shown below:

Single geometry layer

  • Multigeometry vector layers, such as dxf, dwg, gml ...

Multigeometry layer

In this case, there is a single Symbols tab where you can configure the symbol properties of the points, lines and polygons separately. Points are configured under the Marker tab, lines under the Line tab, and polygons under the Fill tab.

Tabs corresponding to the symbols for multigeometry layers

With this clarified, we can now look at symbol properties while taking the geometry type into account.
