Editing Record Opacities

At a glance

  • Opacities are stored as 3-digit decimal values between 0.00 (completely translucent) and 1.00 (completely opaque).
  • To change an opacity value, you can type directly into the field.
  • Or you can click on the field and drag up or down on the page, causing the value to change smoothly.
  • As an opacity is changed, the new value will be automatically previewed on the map.

Examples:

  • 0.00
  • 1.00
  • 0.56
