The InstantAtlas Style Editor is a tool for changing the styles for an InstantAtlas dynamic report. The styles controls the way the various components in a report (map, data table, charts, etc.) look in terms of their background and border colours, borders widths and text fonts. The styles for a report are stored in a Cascading Style Sheet (.css) called ‘default.css’. This is located with the other files that make up a dynamic report.
It is possible to change styles using the InstantAtlas Designer and we would normally recommend you make your style changes using the Designer. This is because the Designer will show you the styles that are used by each component. This makes it easier to know which style you should edit to achieve the desired effect.
However, you will need to opt for the Style Editor if you wish to do any of the following:
- View the full list of styles in default.css
- Add or delete CSS classes
- Carry out global style changes
