## Style Methods

Method | Options | Returns | Description
---|---|---|---|
`setCartoCSS(cartocss)` | `cartocss string` | `this` | style the map rendering using client-side CartoCSS (not available with [Named maps](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/maps-api/named-maps/))

Torque supports a limited subset of CartoCSS rules defined in the [torque-reference](https://github.com/cartodb/torque-reference). To see the full list of supported rules, read the [Torque CartoCSS documentation](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/cartocss/properties-for-torque/). `value` and `zoom` variables can be used. `value` is the value of aggregation. `zoom` is the current zoom being rendered.

TorqueLayer currently expects `marker` styling.

**Example:**
```css
/* This is how a minimal example of a stylesheet for a Torque visualisation would look like. */

Map {
  -torque-time-attribute: "date";
  -torque-aggregation-function: "count(cartodb_id)";
  -torque-frame-count: 760;
  -torque-animation-duration: 15;
  -torque-resolution: 2;
}
#layer {
  marker-width: 3;
  marker-fill-opacity: 0.8;
  marker-fill: #FEE391; 
}
#layer[value = 4] { // Use of the value variable, generated by the function specified in -torque-aggregation-function
  marker-fill: #FABADA; 
}
#layer[zoom = 12] { // Use of the zoom variable
  marker-width: 10;
}
```
