[Qgis-developer] Custom symbols

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

QGIS supports two type of symbols:

1) Hard coded symbols (the 5 point symbols) which can have graduated  
colour sybology applied
2) SVG symbols which cant have ramped colours

Users can add svgs easily by simply dropping them in the appropriate  
folder.
Point symbols need to be added programmaticall

In the future it is my plan to define colour presets for svg symbols  
that will have ramping applied. So for example we would say that  
black would be replaced by the ramped colour.

There are lots of free svg symbols available a google search away....

Regards

Tim
