SymbolStyleEditor

The SymbolStyleEditor is a tool to create and prepare styles based on OGC Symbology Encoding SE). You can use this editor as a plugin in the GeoMedia Smart Client Admnistrator. In other words, you can define the display of particular geometries in general, and other modes of geometry are used for providing an individual illustration in a GIS (for example, highlighting and selectioning). Furthermore, a scale-constrained view for every geometry can be set, which shows different designs of a geometry dependent by scale.

The SymbolStyleEditor provides two profiles for creating a style - the easy and the expert mode. The expert mode supplies all functionalities that are specified by SE. The easy mode only supports required functionality and one symbolizer.

The panel is divided into different sections that you see in the picture below.

Symbology Defintion

There are three values, which are shown here: Library: Not editable and shows at which library the style gets created. Name: Editable and shows the name of the symbology within the style. Visible in the overview list of the symbology library. Type: Not editable and shows which symbolizer you are currently editing or creating.

Modes
	Allows you to switch between two different modes within the StyleEditor. Easy Mode and Expert Mode.

Drawing Modes
	Allows you to change the style, if the feature is Selected, Touched or Highlighted in GeoMedia Smart Client. Default: The plain geometry on the mapview is edited. Selected: The style of selected objects on the mapview is defined Touched: The geometry's style that is shown when the mouse touches the object. Higlighted: The style that is used for marking objects that are used in the data grid.

Scale Area
	It is possible to specify scale-dependent styles for one symbol. That means, depending on your map scale, that another symbol style is shown. The handling of the scale area depends on the mode that is set. If you hold STRG and click on the style and you drag it to another scale and then release the STRG button, you have copied the existing style to the other scale area.

Preview Area

Allows you get a preview of your current style. The preview area shows every change on the symbol live directly after editing the relative attribute. Furthermore, the preview provides the functionality to see the designed symbol in every scale. Define the scale on the bottom left in which you want to control your design. Clicking on the arrow located on the bottom right allows you to view the preview in the full applet view. Options for the Preview area Allows you to define the scale of the preview area. Allows you to change the size of the symbol in the preview area. Fits the symbology to the preview area. Enlarges the preview area The symbology type Raster does not support a preview.

Edit Area
	Depending on your Mode and your Type you will get different options to choose from. Area BarChart ClusterPoint Dimensioning GeometryCollection HeatMap Line PieChart Point Raster Text Traffic Network Only the Easy Mode is described for every single symbolizer.
