Entity Decoration settings

Entity decoration settings include style and label settings for entities on the Canvas. These settings are displayed in a panel on the Edit Theme page when you create a new Entity Decoration or click the radio button next to an existing Entity Decoration in the Action panel.

Style Settings

Entity graphic
Allows you to change the default shape or graphic for a selected entity type. Either choose an image or enter a URI in the Custom image URI box. You can choose a graphic from the Entity graphic drop-down library or from a custom SVG (.svg), PNG (.png), or JPEG (.jpg) image from an external URI.
Custom image property
Choose an entity property that specifies an image URI. If the property is not defined for an entity, the image specified by Entity graphic is used. Images can be SVG (.svg), PNG (.png), or JPEG (.jpg) image from an external URI.
Fill color
For graphics in the Shapes category, this option specifies the interior color of the shape. This setting does not appear for other categories of graphics.
