Styling methods

🟠 Range-based styling (rangeMap)

Assigns colors based on value ranges within a selected attribute.

Useful for continuous data such as elevation, density, or measurements.

🟠 Value-based styling (valueMap)

Assigns specific colors to distinct attribute values.

Useful for categorical data such as land use types or classifications.

🟠 Constant

Applies a single style to all features in the layer.

Useful for simple visualisation or baseline styling.

🟠 Seeded random styling

Assigns consistent random colors to features based on their properties.

Useful for visually distinguishing features without predefined categories.

🟠 Inherited styling

Applies styling based on a color attribute already present in the dataset.

Useful when styling is defined at data source level.

🟠 Case-based styling (caseMap)

Applies styles based on conditional logic.

Useful for defining rules where styling depends on multiple conditions.
