Style views

Permission: Settings management

Style view is a simple configuration object which stores specific style settings from tab Style in visualization. Every style view object defines which style mappers (and also other styling properties) should by applied when user chooses particular view so the user can easily switch between views to visually compare patterns in the data. Defined style views are listed in the menu "View" in visualization (in the top toolbox with buttons).

Style views setting is a collection of these style view objects.
