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.
