# Loading styles from a separate file
Open in CodeSandbox
You can use styles to change parameters for the standard representation of geo objects.
For example, you can set the line width for polylines or the fill color for polygons.
The visual appearance of displayed objects is set in the
repr:Representation element.
For detailed instructions on setting styles for displayed objects,
see the documentation.
