Style ways, as areas

This query selects the unnamed standing stones at Stonehenge. It then styles the results using MapCSS.

It demonstrates all the basic properties that can control the fill of a shape

  • fill-color - defines the colour of the fill. Either as a named colour, or as a hex (e.g. #000000) or RGB value (e.g. rgb(99,73,23))
  • fill-opacity - is a value between 0-1

You'll notice that Overpass Turbo will apply its default styles to the shapes so there will be a different colour outline to the stones.

Try adjusting the query to use this instead:

way { color: brown; fill-color: brown; opacity: 1; fill-opacity: 1 }
