• Apr 15, 2018

To colorize map items using the KeyColorColorizer do the following.

1. Create a KeyColorColorizer object and assign it to the VectorLayer.Colorizer property.
2. Specify the KeyColorColorizer.ItemKeyProvider property.
3. Customize the MapColorizer.Colors collection.
4. Add several ColorizerKeyItem items to the KeyColorColorizer.Keys collection. Note that if keys are not specified, they will be generated automatically.
