Ortelius Macintosh Map Making Software by Mapdiva, LLC

Most users can create the maps they want using the Ortelius-provided styles and symbols, without ever needing to edit or create new styles.

But for those who want to dig deeper, you won’t be disappointed. Styles are applied to linear and area features, and are used when drawing objects and new symbols. From the Style Inspector, you can add a wide variety of treatments to your current and new styles. These include different stroke types, a variety of fills, text adornments, and various effects to your fills and strokes. The Style Inspector invites you to be creative. Saved library styles are “master styles” and will be displayed as “locked” to prevent unintended changes.

To open the Style Inspector:
Click the Styles icon in the toolbar, or choose Window > Style Inspector from the main menu.

By default, the Style Inspector window resizes based on the content of the view. This setting is available from the Style Inspector Action Menu.
