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})
