Sublayer properties

When a sublayer is selected in the Map Layers pane, the Map Style Property Sheet displays the properties for that layer prefixed with either an Up Arrow or a Right Arrow. The Up Arrow indicates that the sublayer property value is inherited from the parent layer and must be changed in the parent layer style sheet. The Right Arrow indicates that the property has its own, independent value that can be set at any time.
Inheritance is applied as follows:
  • Sublayers can inherit almost all properties that are present in the parent layer. There are some exceptions such as the Color Model property.
  • All sublayer properties are added to the parent layer Map Style Property Sheet, if not already present.
The following figure shows an example of a sublayer Map Style Property Sheet.
