Set the Style for a Polygon Layer

In this exercise, you set a basic style for a polygon layer by selecting a fill color and a border color.

Note: The following exercise uses the standard layer style to configure styles in the Layer Editor. Also available is the enhanced layer style, which supports compound symbols and composite styles. To change the layer style, click Tools menu Options Layer Editor tab. Under Layer Style, select Standard for this exercise. See the Studio User's Guide for instructions on using enhanced styles.
