Layers

The Layers panel lists the data sources included in the active map style.

Layers are made up of multiple categories, separated by techniques. A technique defines how a data source is drawn on the map, such as line for roads and polygon for landuse areas.

The icons next to the layer names represent the technique being used to draw the layer. You can filter the layers list using the corresponding buttons at the top of the panel.

Several layers are grouped by data source. Click the dropdown arrow or double-click the layer name to reveal its grouped categories.
