====== All Area Parameters ======

Area parameters come in 2 parts : 
  * [[#Outline parameters]]. Outline parameters are equal to the [[all_line_parameters|Line Parameters]].
  * [[#Fill Parameters]]

===== Outline =====

==== Basic ====
Outline parameters are equal to the Line Parameters. For more explanation see [[all_line_parameters#Basic|Line Parameters]].

{{all_parameters_area_outline_basic_2.png}}

==== Line ====
Outline parameters are equal to the Line Parameters. For more explanation see [[all_line_parameters#Line|line parameters line settings]].

==== Symbol Repetition ====
Outline parameters are equal to the Line Parameters. For more explanation see [[all_line_parameters#Symbol Repetition|line parameters symbol repetition]].

===== Fill Parameters =====

Fill parameters allow filling in 4 ways : 
  * [[#Basic|Standard fill]]
  * [[#Gradient|Gradient fill]]
  * [[#Texture|Texture fill]]
  * [[#Hatching|Hatch fill]]

==== Basic ====

{{all_parameters_area_fill_basic_2.png}}

^ Parameter ^ Comment ^
| Fill Visibility | Tick to activate the area filling. |
| Color | [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:color|Choose a fill color]]. |
| Transparency | Set the transparency percentage of the total area fill from opaque to completely transparent. |




==== Gradient ====

{{all_parameters_area_fill_gradient.png}}

^ Parameter ^ Comment ^
| Gradient Preset | Optionally select a predefined gradient fill. |
| Gradient Type | Select the type of gradient fill (none, top, bottom, left, right, top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right). |
| 2nd Color | [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:color|Choose a 2nd gradient color]]. |


==== Texture ====
  * A texture fill will use an image as a tile to fill the area.

{{all_parameters_area_fill_texture.png}}

^ Parameter ^ Comment ^
| Texture file | Select the image file to be used for texture filling. See [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:texture]].|
| Image Width | Enter the image width and select a [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:size|size unit]] (point on screen, mm on paper, meter on scale). |
| Image Height | Enter the image height and select a [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:size|size unit]] (point on screen, mm on paper, meter on scale). |
| Transparency | Set the transparency percentage of the label from opaque to completely transparent. |


==== Hatching ====

  * A Hatching fill will use parallel lines to fill the area. 
  * You can specify the appearance of the lines using [[all_line_parameters|line parameters]].
  * If you wish to use a second hatch line, use the right half of the editor window to fill in equal parameters.

^ Parameter ^ Comment ^
| First Hatch Line | Tick to activate a single hatch line. |
| Second Hatch Line | Tick to activate a second hatch line. |
| Angle | Set the angle to draw the hatch line. |
| Distance | Enter the distance between parallel hatch lines and select a [[43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:legend:parameters:size|size unit]] (point on screen, mm on paper, meter on scale). |
| Line | Click on the "Line" button to edit the [[all_line_parameters|line parameters]] of the hatch line. |
