2. Maps
Maps convey information in many different ways. You can use styles, labels, and legends to enhance a map so that it communicates more effectively and looks more attractive.
TransCAD uses the term style to talk about the colors, patterns, symbols, and lines that are used to draw map features.
Symbol sizes, line widths, and area borders are measured in points, a standard unit of size for Windows applications. There are 72 points per inch.

3. Styles for Point Layers
Features in a point layer are drawn with your choice of symbol type:
Font character from a Windows True Type font: you can choose the font, the symbol or other character, the color, the size, and a few other settings.
Color bitmap: you can choose the bitmap (.BMP) file and the size. You can use any bitmap, though small bitmaps will display more quickly.
