Setting properties for females

You can use the value of sex, which is either male or female, to style subsets of person nodes differently. The color of a person node can be used to distinguish between male and female: blue for a man, red for a woman.

To create a rule for females:

Select node.person in the Style Rules.
Click Edit > Create Style Rule.

The Create Style Rule Wizard opens.
Click Next.

In the Conditions page, the condition user-defined type is person is already present as it has been defined for the node.person rule.
Click the plus button to add a new condition.
Select sex, then equals, and type female.

See the following figure.

In the Styling Customizer, select female for the sex parameter.
