Nice work Etienne! Over the weekend, I've knocked up a little plugin<br>
of the second type - a plugin layer that uses the new symbology<br>
system.<br>
<br>
It's marked as experimental, and there are a few things on the TODO<br>
list, but it can be found in my plugin repo:<br>
<a href="http://109.123.122.13/qgis/plugins.xml" target="_blank">http://109.123.122.13/qgis/plugins.xml</a><br>
<br>
One of the todo's is saving the styling information - I can't find<br>
where I can get the XML of the symbol for my writeXml() function. Any<br>
ideas?<br>...</blockquote><div><br>I tried your Grid Overlay plugin and this is what I found.<br><br>Same error as Etienne reported:<br><br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
