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

  1. Select a property — choose the attribute whose values will drive the icon choice (e.g. type, category).
  2. 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.
