Point Configuration
The points tab appears for layers with Point geometry. Two point types are available:
Icon
Render each point as an icon based on a data property. This lets you use different symbols for different feature types — for example, different icons for schools, hospitals, and parks.
How Icon Mapping Works
- Select a property — choose the attribute whose values will drive the icon choice (e.g.
type,category). - Map values to icons — for each unique value, assign:
- Icon — an emoji or Unicode character (e.g. 🏫, 🏥, 🌳).
- Colour — the icon colour.
- Background — an optional background colour behind the icon.
- Size — the icon size.
Circle
Render each point as a coloured circle:
- Colour — the fill colour of the circle.
- Radius — the circle radius in pixels.
- Stroke colour — the border colour of the circle.
- Stroke width — the border width in pixels.
None
Disable point rendering entirely.
