This tutorial demonstrates how to create and style point features with various geometric shapes in your mapping application. Point shape styling allows you to represent different types of features with distinctive symbols, enhancing the visual communication of your maps.
You'll learn how to:
- Create different geometric shapes for point features (squares, rectangles, triangles, stars, crosses)
- Configure shape parameters like radius, angle, and rotation
- Create composite shapes using multiple style definitions
- Apply fill and stroke styles to shape symbols
- Position and scale shapes for optimal display
Advanced point styling is essential for creating informative maps that effectively communicate different feature types through visual symbolization. This capability allows you to create custom map symbols that align with cartographic conventions or your application's specific needs.
