# Cartographic descriptive term style definitions This section defines the default styles for the presentation of new descriptive terms within OS MasterMap. This specifies the colours, symbols and line styles used for visual display and printing of OS MasterMap. The styles are defined using the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) syntax. ## Colour palette Ordnance Survey has chosen to use colours that are consistent in the internet environment. The particular colours used are defined with both their RGB and hexadecimal values in colour palette. The colour palette for the new descriptive terms is listed in the table below | Image | Hex (r,g,b) | Style Name | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------- | | agriculturalLandFill visual colour representation | AAD48C (170,212,140) | agriculturalLandFill | | constructedWaterFill visual representation | 6CC0D8 (108,193,217) | constructedWaterFill | | mudFill visual colour representation | F5F0E1 (245,240,225) | mudFill | | sandFill visual colour representation | F7FF82 (247,255,125) | sandFill | | slopingMasonryFill visual colour representation | B7B789 (183,184,138) | slopingMasonryFill | | shingleFill visual colour representation | D1DACD (209, 218, 205) | shingleFill | ## Point symbols Point symbols are used to represent the position of particular features within the data, such as a telephone call box or bollard. The symbol represents the location and type of feature. Point symbols are applied to the visual representation by translating them to the location of the feature they are representing and rotating them, if the orientation attribute is present, by a given amount. The additional point symbols for the new descriptive terms are listed below: | Symbol | Style and Geometry | Shape | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | caveSymbol |

| Visual representation of a signalSymbol | ## Fill symbols Fill symbols are used to represent some attribution of a polygon feature and are distributed as a pattern fill across the polygon. For example, the symbol may represent information about the topographic surface such as the vegetation type. The additional fill symbols for the new descriptive terms are listed below:

## Pattern definition ### **Creating a pattern** To produce a particular pattern, the appropriate fill symbol is distributed on a grid that is repeated to cover the polygon being drawn. You can use the following grids with the new descriptive terms: **Small regular grid** #### Landform grid table for new descriptive terms. | Variables | Value/s | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Size | (3,3) | | Suitable symbols | foreshoreFillSymbol, multiVegetationFillSymbol, collectsAndSpreadsFillSymbol | | Symbol coordinates | 2,2 | | Fill colour | foreshorePattern – DCFFBE (RGB 204,255,255) collectsAndSpreadsPattern – DCFFBE (RGB 220,255,190) sandPattern - F7FF82 (RGB 247,255,125) | | Patterns | foreshorePattern multiVegetationPattern collectsAndSpreadsPattern sandPattern | ### **Natural environment grid** #### Natural environment grid table for new descriptive terms. | Variables | Value/s | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Size | (50,50) | | Suitable symbols | All natural vegetation and surface cover symbol types except for orchard. | | Symbol coordinates | 5,3 5,25 10,12 10,35 25,45 42,15 37,27 27,14 36,37 42,45 39,3 18,33 | | Fill colour | ccffcc (RGB 204,255,204) | | Patterns |

| ## Line styles Line styles are used to allow a user to distinguish between different types of linear feature, for example, distinctions may be made to emphasise: * Obstructing detail * Non-obstructing detail * Underground detail * Overhead detail * Building outlines * Water limits and linear features * Landform detail * Narrow-gauge railways * Statutory boundaries. * Polygon-closing features The additional lines style for the new descriptive terms are listed below: ### **Groyne** #### Groyne (sea defence) line style table for the new descriptive terms. | seaDefenceLine | stroke-width – 0.15 | B39132 | ![Visual representation of a groyne (sea defence) line style ](https://1897589978-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcNpJpLP8RROUaWVQo5ea%2Fuploads%2FjUpAHQUtmRMrizhWcbJP%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=56f28410-3a13-41fa-a98e-c63753780da5) | | -------------- | ------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ### Line of Posts, Line of Mooring Posts #### Post line style table for the new descriptive terms.
