Polygon layer properties

To bring up the properties dialog, you can double-click on the layer list or right-click on the middle pane of the map and choose "Properties".

For polygon layers, you may change the outline style and the fill colors of polygon layers.

Line style

You can choose the width of the lines and their color. Choose the width from the drop-down box and the color using the "Change Color" button.

Color

You can choose to color all polygons the same (choose "Single color" and the color using the "Change Color" button). You can also color them all "transparent," this shows only the outlines and lets information from underlying map layers come through.

Alternatively, you can create choropleth or thematic maps for either categorical or numeric variables.

• You may color polygons using the values of a categorical variable. Once you choose the variable to represent, BoundarySeer will choose the colors.

• Alternatively, you may show the values for a single numeric variable using graduated color.

• You may choose to represent the values of up to three numeric variables using red, green, and blue. You specify the variable associated with each color.
