Layers & Styling

Renames a layer group and moves it up or down where ordering allows.

Ungroups a group while keeping its layers, or deletes the group together with its layers.

Computes centroids, convex hulls, and bounding boxes for vector geometries.

Continues the workflow by sending the selected features to the Buffer tool.

Converts the layer to GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, KML, KMZ, compressed Shapefile, or attribute CSV for reuse outside the project.

Opens the selected layer's Style panel from its row action, exports Mapbox, SLD, or QML styles, imports compatible formats, and copies styles between compatible layers. The row action is available when the Style panel is enabled in Settings.

Write geometry and attribute edits directly back to PostGIS tables with insert/update/delete accounting. Requires a writable connection.

Adjusts raster color, contrast and transparency to make pixel values legible, with class summaries from the attribute table.

Export GeoTIFF subsets with output CRS, custom resolution, nodata override and antimeridian validation.

Reorders the layer in the draw stack to control which data renders above or below other layers.

Fits the map view to the layer extent to locate its data instantly.

Identify features with photo galleries, links, sanitized rich HTML, raster pixel readout and per-layer result tabs on vector, WMS and COG layers.

Displays descriptive layer information to verify origin, content and properties.

Removes the layer from the project and display after confirmation.

Renames the layer or organizes it into groups by creating, moving between, or removing from groups.

Converts DuckDB query results into an editable feature layer. Only for convertible results.

Edits feature geometry and commits changes when finished. Requires editing plugin, editable geometry, and no other layer being edited.

Load features into the editor with change tracking; export only added, modified or deleted features with counts and optional editor stamping.

Presents features and fields as reviewable records to verify, select and correct attribute data.

Selects features matching a defined attribute condition across the layer.

Selects features based on spatial relationships with another layer. Requires at least two selectable layers.

Zooms to, inverts, clears, or exports the current selection as a new layer. Requires an existing selection.

Detects a date property and filters or animates the layer by time periods; requires a compatible temporal layer.

Removes the time filter or animation and displays the layer without temporal control.

Reloads a local file layer from disk and watches it for changes to keep the map current. Local files only.

Auto-reload WFS and GeoJSON URL layers at fixed intervals from 15 seconds to 15 minutes.

Edits the SQL query behind a layer to change its result set without recreating it. Only for layers created from an SQL query.

Save only the features you added, modified, or deleted, or everything, signing the changes with your editor name.

Choose an annotation layer and manage line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, freehand highlight, text, pin, sticky-note, and placed-image groups: edit applicable properties, toggle visibility, reorder, move by the next map click, delete, or transfer them; extent-pinned image bounds stay synchronized.

Select Blank Background from Change background, then set a project-saved color and opacity in the Layers panel or restore the active theme default.

Style vector layers with single symbol, graduated, categorized, or expression-driven rendering and curated color ramps.

Compose rule-based symbology with nested sub-rules, an else fallback, per-rule zoom ranges, and screen color picking.

Render point density as a live heatmap with adjustable radius and intensity.

Cluster dense point layers into styled clusters with configurable radius and maximum zoom.

Size symbols proportionally to a numeric attribute and add a matching size legend.

Fill polygons with hatch, cross-hatch, line, or dot patterns, or your own SVG pattern.

Draw points with seven built-in marker shapes or custom SVG icons in any color and size.

Drive fill, stroke, and radius values with MapLibre expressions that react to attributes or camera zoom.

Set per-layer minimum and maximum zoom, or write a formula that toggles visibility as the camera moves.

Invert polygon fills to shade everything outside the features.

Get one-click style suggestions that categorize, graduate, or heatmap a layer from its own attributes.

Assemble filter, style, label, and virtual-field expressions with function references and inline validation.

Label features from a field or expression with placement along lines, halos, anchors, offsets, and case transforms.

Override label size, color, opacity, priority, and visibility per feature with expressions.

Chart numeric attributes on each feature as pie, donut, bar, or stacked bar diagrams with decluttering.

Extrude polygons into 3D using height and base expressions for building and terrain models.

Render features in true 3D at their coordinate Z values with vertical exaggeration and altitude offset.

Choose exactly where a layer draws within the basemap's style layer stack.

Apply opacity to every layer in a group at once from the layers panel.

Save a public, reloadable layer configuration to My Data so it reopens across sessions and projects.

Copy a layer's complete style and paste it onto any other layer of the same geometry type.

Exchange layer styles as Mapbox GL JSON, QGIS QML, or OGC SLD, importing symbology from any of the three.

Render rasters as single-band pseudocolor, RGB composites, or normalized-difference index maps.

Stretch raster display linearly, logarithmically, or by square root, with gamma correction and exact min/max.

Break rasters into discrete classes with equal interval, quantile, or manual edges and reversible custom ramps.

Mask no-data pixels automatically from the file, render every pixel, or hide a custom value.

Tune raster brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue live, including a one-click greyscale mode.

Generate a legend from a paletted raster's colors and rename items to class names afterward.

Attach columns from another layer by matching key fields, with field prefixes and match statistics.

Add expression-backed columns that recompute on every change, including spatial aggregates against other layers.
