STYLE Tab - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

The STYLE tab contains commands and command lists for working with layers. It is available when at least one layer in the Layers or Explorer window is highlighted.

Style Group

These commands change how regions, lines, symbols, and text display on the map.

Icon	Command	Description
	Apply Styles	Toggles the style override on and off.
	Use Stacked Styles	Toggles stacked styles on and off. See Stacking Display Styles to Create a Custom Look
	Region Style	Modifies the color, pattern and outline of closed objects.
	Line Style	Modifies line color, pattern and width.
	Symbol Style	Modifies symbol size, color and type.
	Text Style	Modifies text color, font and size.
	Symbol Rotation	Adjusts the rotation for symbols in the selected layer(s).

Translucency Group

These commands control how opaque a layer or its labels are on the map. Make a layer transparent to make the information behind it more visible when overlaying a region, such as a flood plain, market catchment area, or hotspot. Make labels transparent, so that they do not obscure information behind them.

Display Group

Icon	Command	Description
	Show Nodes	Displays the nodes in the selected layer.
	Show Centroids	Displays the centroid of each object in the selected layer.
	Show Line Direction	Displays the direction in which line objects are drawn.

Display (Raster Overlay) Group

These commands are active when you have a raster overlay on the map. For a description of how to work with the MapInfo Pro Advanced raster features, click the Help button on the RASTER tab.

Icon	Command	Description
	Field	Displays all the fields that are present in the active raster. To render different fields, select the field name from the drop-down list. There must be two or more fields to activate this command.
	Display Mode	Select to render the file in either Pseudo, RGB, or Classified mode. You can render continuous and imagery file in either Pseudo or RGB display mode.
	Band to Display	Displays all the bands for the selected field in the current raster, such as red, green, and blue. When in Pseudo display mode, select a specific band from the drop-down list to render it on the current map. When in RGB display mode, map different bands in the current raster to the RGB channel to then render it on the current map. This is useful for Landsat data.
	Color	Opens a dialog to select the color to apply to the raster. The raster must be open in Pseudo mode to activate this command.
	Color Stretch	Opens the Color Stretch dialog, which has options to enhance the display of a raster grid by changing the grid's appearance through data stretches.
	Advanced Color	Opens a Color dialog to enhance all aspects of the appearance of the raster by changing its coloring, data stretches, and bandpass cutoffs.
	Hill Shade	Opens a dialog of effects to mimic the sun's illumination, intensity, and shadows across variations in elevation within the map landscape (the raster surface). The raster must be open in Pseudo mode to activate this command.
	Raster Quality	Improve the appearance of continuous raster surfaces using an interpolation technique when viewed at high resolution: None (this is the default), Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear, Cubic Spline (Local), or Cubic Spline (Global).
	Favorite Template	Manage and apply custom templates. Selecting Manage Templates opens the Custom Templates window where you can create and edit your raster templates. You must have an Advanced license to enable this command.
