<!-- Class -->
This class represents a single Regex Match statement and styles to draw.
=== Remarks ===
The RegexItem represents a single matching criteria for a RegexStyle.

RegexStyle:

The RegexStyle allows you to use complex regular expression matching to determine how your features are drawn. A regular expression is a matching syntax that allows you to match a string based on very complex criteria. For example, let's say you have a layer that has a column in the data that contains school names. Most school names include the type of school they are. For instance, you may have "Lincoln Middle School" or "Bush High School." There are variations to these names though, containing words such as "Elementary" or "Prep." With a regular expression, you can create matching criteria that will allow you to match on many variations of the names. It is especially useful for fuzzy matches where your data is not clearly categorized. Another classic example is for matching or validating email addresses, where matching rules can become complex.

In the RegexStyle, you specify the matching criteria string and also the style you want to use to draw the feature if the criteria matches. It is a simple yet powerful style for dealing with complex rule sets and imprecise data.
