Styling & Labelling

TuTransform raw layers into clear, informative visuals

Previously, you digitized geometries (Point/Line/Polygon) and prepared the base layers. Now it’s time to learn styling & labelling so your maps are not only accurate but also communicative.

What You’ll Learn

  • Layer Styling

    Classify colors and visual parameters based on attributes.

  • Map Labelling

    Add text/image labels that remain legible across scales.

  • Appearance Customization

    Adjust text, outline, colors, and styles to fit analytic context.

  • Data Integration or Import

    Use your layer’s data as the basis for styling.

Quick Step-by-Step Layer Styling

    • Upload or ensure your layer has attributes

    • Open View → map canvas

    • In Layer Management, click (edit)

    • Scroll to Layer Style → select Create a new style

    • Select an attribute column → define visual parameters (colors, classes, etc.)

    • Click Create a new color classification

Map Labelling

    • In Layer Management, click (edit)

    • Scroll to Map Labelling → choose the label column

    • Adjust text size, color, and outline

    • Preview on the canvas → click Save

Why It Matters

A great map is not only accurate, it must also be readable. With styling & labels, spatial data becomes instantly clear, whether highlighting flood-prone zones or mapping carbon emissions.
