===== Track & Route Style =====
Each track/route in Locus Map has its own color, pattern, width, and other parameters. These parameters can be set at several levels:
==== General style ====
**Default appearance of all tracks and routes across the app** can be edited in //Settings > Points & Tracks > Track line style//\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks17.jpg?nolink |}}\\ These settings can be overridden by following:
==== Folder style ====
Tracks and routes stored in a folder in the Library can have **unified style settings**. These settings can be edited in the **[[manual:user_guide:my_library#folder_tools|folder tools menu]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks81.gif?nolink |}}
If you want to **preserve the style of the parent folder** above the current one, turn on the switch:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks82.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Individual style ====
Style of individual tracks or routes can be edited in the track/route detail screen edit dialog:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks24.jpg?nolink |}}\\ To activate individual settings you have to **switch off the folder settings** (by this the style of the particular track/route automatically shifts to the global settings):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks26.jpg?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks27.jpg?nolink |}}
It is possible to **change the individual style of multiple tracks/routes**:

* multi-select tracks for editing
* tap the tool menu from the bottom bar and select {{:manual:user_guide:ic_edit_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**Change style**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks30.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Multiple track style change ====

==== Track recording profile style ====
The style of recorded tracks can be set according to the used **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:profiles_settings|recording profile]]**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks22.png?nolink |}}\\
By default, the recording profile style is overwritten by the style of the folder where you store your recorded tracks. If you want to **maintain the profile style**, follow these steps:
- tap the style line in the track-saving dialog when you stop a track recording:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:tracks53.jpg?nolink |}}
- switch off "//Use style of the folder//" and tap SAVE
Next time you record a track in this profile, the style will be maintained and not overdrawn by the folder style.
==== Route planner style ====
The option of styling route lines is useful, for example when you need to **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning#line_style|display dynamically slope angle or altitude]]** of the route. Line style editor can be launched from the **route planner menu > settings**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle23.jpg?nolink |}}
**The route planner route style is overdrawn by the style of the folder into which you save your route.**
**Track/route style summary:**\\ Global style has the lowest priority in the styling of tracks/routes. Folder style, recording profile, or route planner style overrides it. Folder style overrides also the recording profile and route planner style. Each track or route can be finally styled individually.
===== Style Editor =====
**All buttons editing style on all levels - global, folder, individual or track recording profile - lead here:**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle01.png?nolink |}}
To differentiate among your routes and tracks or adjust their appearance according to the used map you have vast options of styling them - you can adjust the line **color** (1), **width** (4), and **outline** (6), add **pattern** (2) from a great selection, color the pattern, set **coloring mode** (3 - plain color or some of the dynamic coloring modes according to speed, elevation, etc.) or automatically close the line and **fill the space** with color (7).
==== Line ====
Line **(1)** can be colored in **basic** mode,\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle02.png?nolink |}}\\
**advanced** mode with option to pick any of colors provided by your device,\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle03.png?nolink |}}\\ and **code** mode - just insert **HEX, RGB or HSV** code of the desired color:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle04.png?nolink |}}
Its opacity can be adjusted from 100% to invisibility 0%\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle05.png?nolink |}}
or the line color can be switched off - only its pattern is visible:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle06.png?nolink |}}
==== Pattern ====
Pattern **(2)** has the same coloring options as the line - **basic, advanced, and code**, see above. If you do not want to have a patterned line, just **uncheck the pattern**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle07.png?nolink |}}
You can select from a vast array of patterns including **arrows and crosses**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle08.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle09.png?nolink |}}
==== Coloring mode ====
The track/route line can be colored **(3)** by **plain color**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle10.png?nolink |}}\\
or dynamically - by **speed, change of speed, altitude, slope, GPS accuracy, heart rate or pedaling cadence**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle11.png?nolink |}}\\
If you select a dynamic mode and switch line color off, the **pattern is colored dynamically**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle12.png?nolink |}}\\
If you want to color only a certain range of altitude or slope angle, you can define it manually:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle13.png?nolink |}}
==== Width ====
Width **(4)** of the track line can be set in **pixels** (screen related) or **meters** (real world related)**(5)**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle18.png?nolink |}}\\ The first option displays the line in the **same width across all map zooms**. A line 6 pixels wide:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle14.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle15.png?nolink |}}\\ The same line 6 meters wide:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle16.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle17.png?nolink |}}
==== Outline ====
To **enhance contrast** of the line from the background map, you can add an outline **(6)**. Coloring options are the same as for the line and pattern.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle19.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle20.png?nolink |}}
==== Close and fill with color ====
Quite a special feature for highlighting areas enclosed by a track/route **(7)**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle21.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:trkstyle22.png?nolink |}}
