This tab allows you to set styling of the layer.
Single style – every record will be displayed in the same style.
Categories – styling of the records is based on value of one of this layer’s columns.
Ranges – records are styled based on the classification range they fall in (similar to categories but based on one of six statistical classifications for numeric values).
