SetFillStyle()

Summary

Sets the style used to fill area features.

 

Syntax

SetFillStyle(string lyr_set_name, fillstyle fill_style)

 

Argument	Contents
lyr_set_name	The name of the layer or selection set
fill_style	The fill style used to fill areas

 

Notes

• When used on a selection set, a null value for fill_style indicates that selected features are drawn with the default fill style for the layer.

• If lyr_set_name is null, SetFillStyle() operates on the current layer.

• SetFillStyle() normally operates on the current map. You can force it to operate on a different map by including the map name in lyr_set_name. For instance, "Map1|LayerA|" affects the display of LayerA in Map1.

Example

str1 = "XXXXXXXX"

str2 = "          "

solid = FillStyle({str1, str1, str1, str1, str1, str1, str1, str1})

empty = FillStyle({str2, str2, str2, str2, str2, str2, str2, str2})

SetFillStyle ("U.S. States|", empty)

SetFillStyle ("U.S. States|Selection", solid)
