A style defines how underlying data gets visualized. When dealing with raster data this usually means having a value-color mapping, either categorized or graduated.
It is possible to refer to a specific style when sending a GetMap request to a Web Map Service (WMS), resulting in accordingly rendered images. If no style is specified, a default style will be used.
This page describes which pre-defined and curated styles (static styles) our spatial data infrastructure offers and how our customizable styles (template/dynamic styles) work. All styles offered are as SLD files (Styled Layer Descriptor).

There are eight "empty" styles available which can be manipulated to one's needs. If used without any changes they will default to values between 0 and 1 being mapped to a viridis color ramp (with 3 to 9 defined color steps) or to a two-step black-white color ramp. In between these defined color steps a value's color will gradually change. The following table shows styles template_2col
and template_5col
as examples. Style names go up to template_9col
.
Color (RGB hexvalue), opacity, value (quantity) and label (how it appears in the legend) are variables which can be specified explicitly in a GetMap request.
