Property Value

String

The name of the entry in the map's style sheet that you'd like to apply to this MapElement. This name may be an existing map element (see remarks) that acts like an existing base map element of that type. Or the name may be an extension that is not used by the base map but is set by the style sheet creator and can be changed without affecting the base map (see the example code).
