Style (name)¶

Configures a style configuration, which can be assigned to a layer by using the <Styles> element in that Layer. Styles can also be assigned automatically to a Layer by configuring one or more StandardNames element(s). When the Layers standard_name matches with one of the names configured in a Style, this Style will also be assigned to that Layer.

When using remote resources with AutoResource, a style with name "auto" needs to be configured for automatic scaling of min/max values. This style is assigned to all layers and can be used for previewing the data with automatically detected min/max values.

• name, The name of the style to use within the service.
