Vector layer settings

As with raster layers, vector layers have a settings dialog to modify visualization properties of the layer.

Tip

The layer will update dynamically as you change settings, but you can always undo your changes with the Cancel button!

Rename a layer

Modify the Layer name field to change the name of the layer. The name will change in the list automatically.

Border and fill color and opacity

Adjust the border and fill color and opacity.

Note

Fill color and opacity only have meaning for point or polygon layers

Color by property

If your vector data has properties, such as geochemical samples or geologic units, the properties can be used for coloring the layer.

Marigold will attempt to determine whether the property is continuous or categorical. For continuous data, a histogram of the property values will be shown. Choose the min and max values along with a colorbar to plot the data in that color.

Categorical data will show a list of the categories and color values for each one. Color values can be modified by clicking on the box.
