TImageEnView.LayerDefaults

Declaration

property LayerDefaults: TStringList;

Description

Specifies a list of properties that are assigned to all new layers.
The properties are a list of Name=Value pairs, with names from the TIELayer Property Constants.

Note:
◼ These properties apply to layers created programmatically (e.g. using LayersAdd) and by the user (e.g. using mlCreateShapeLayers).
◼ The OnNewLayer event can also be used to apply default properties
◼ For all colors properties, e.g. IELP_FillColor, IELP_FillColor2, IELP_BorderColor, IELP_LineColor, IELP_FontColor, IELP_LabelColor, you can specify -1 for a random color, or -2 for a random pastel color

Sample Output

IELP_BorderColor=clNone
IELP_BorderWidth=0
IELP_FillColor=clYellow
IELP_FillColor2=clRed
IELP_FillGradient=1
IELP_Rotate=0
