Overview​

In this workshop we will get to know the three core elements of GeoStyler. No previous knowledge regarding GeoStyler is needed.

  • Style Parsers - Translator entities that allow the usage of (nearly) any styling format
  • UI Components - Graphical components to interactively edit styles
