Symbol Properties

The Symbol properties section controls the appearance of grid node symbols in the map. See the Symbol Properties topic for more information on changing symbol properties.

Angle

The Angle (degrees) property sets the rotation of the symbols in the grid values layer. Type a value in degrees in the Angle (degrees) field between 0 and 360 or click and drag the slider to select a value. Symbols rotate counterclockwise as the Angle (degrees) increases.

Color Method

The symbols in a grid values layer can all be the same color or be varied by grid node value. When the Color method is set to Fixed, the symbols are all the same color and all of the properties in the Symbol properties section applies to the symbols.

Set the Color method to Colormap to apply the colors from a colormap to the symbols based on grid node value. When the Color method is set to Colormap, the Fill color, Fill opacity, Line color, and Line opacity properties in the Symbol properties section are ignored. Symbols use the same line and fill color and opacity, which is determined by the grid node value and colormap.

Colors

The Colors property is enabled when the Color method is set to Colormap. Click the current colormap and select a predefined colormap from the list or create a custom colormap in the Colormap Editor by clicking the button in the Colors field.
