Style presets

Named symbology bundles for simple_sym. Each preset sets a fill, stroke, and width suited to a geometry type.

These are the registered values of arcsmith.lyr.PRESETS. Pass any name below as the preset argument to simple_sym, for example arcsmith.lyr.simple_sym(lyr, preset="simple_blue"). Explicit style arguments override a preset, and a one-off style dict can be passed in place of a name. See the Presets section of simple_sym for the full resolution order and the geometry matching rules.

Geometry is advisory by default

The Geometry column below records the shape each preset was designed for, not a restriction. By default simple_sym applies any preset to any geometry, mapping its properties onto whatever the target supports: a Polygon fills and outlines, a Point styles its marker body and outline, and a Polyline takes the stroke as its line and drops the fill. Pass simple_sym(..., strict_geom=True) to enforce the listed geometry instead. See the geometry table for exactly which properties take effect per geometry.

Simple color fills

A pale tint fill with a deep, saturated same-hue outline. These are designed for Polygon, Point, and Multipoint layers (which carry a fill), but apply to any geometry by default. On a Polyline the fill is dropped and the outline color becomes the line. Intended for quick, attractive output.

Each simple fill hue also has a point companion (simple_pt_*) and a line companion (simple_ln_*), listed below the fills. They share the saturated edge color of the matching fill, so a polygon, a point, and a line of the same hue read as a set. This is what lets add give each geometry a distinct default. A polygon gets the pale fill, a point gets a solid marker, and a line gets a colored stroke, so the three do not blend together on the same map.

Simple point markers

A solid same-hue marker with a grey outline, one per simple fill hue. The marker body uses the saturated edge color of the matching simple fill, so it is the slightly dark version of the hue. A default-styled point reads as a distinct marker against the pale simple_* polygon fills instead of blending into them. These match both Point and Multipoint layers, and add applies one automatically when the new layer is a point.

Simple lines

A solid same-hue stroke at a line weight, one per simple fill hue, again using the saturated edge color of the matching simple fill. A simple line and a simple point marker of the same hue therefore share a color and read as siblings. The width sits above the polygon outline weight so a default-styled line reads as a line rather than as a stray polygon outline. add applies one automatically when the new layer is a polyline.

Feature presets

Cartographic presets named for the feature they represent. Most Polygon presets carry a fill and an outline. The admin presets are hollow, carrying only an outline so the area underneath stays visible. Polyline presets carry a line color only, and Point presets carry a marker fill with a grey outline. Point presets match both Point and Multipoint layers.

Highlights

Bright hollow Polygon presets for call-outs and selections, with no fill over a saturated 2.0 pt outline. They zero the fill opacity, so the body renders hollow on a Polygon or Point. Designed for Polygon layers; with the default strict_geom=False they may still be applied to other geometries (on a Polyline the outline color becomes the line). highlight with no hue is an alias for highlight_red.
