[Qgis-user] SVG Fill

[James Stott]

I believe you need to split the OS svg file into multiple svg files for
each symbol.

 

I tried this a while ago and gave up in the end.

 

There are examples of QGIS styling for MasterMap on this website but it
only colours the polygons different colours.

Subject: [Qgis-user] SVG Fill

 

Hi List,

I'm trying to symbolise Ordnance Survey MasterMap. The OS are nice
enough to provide a single SVG file (here:
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/xml/resource/OSMasterMapStyles.svg)
with most/all of their symbology in.

 

My question is simple: How do I use these symbols in QGIS?

 

I've found "SVG fill", which is the one I'm trying to use (i.e., with
"nonconiferousTreesAndConiferousTreesPattern") and while it does allow
me to specify the SVG file, that seems to be all I can do. QGIS seems to
assume that the entire contents of the file should be used for styling,
while the file has multiple stylings in.

I'm guessing mutliple geometries in a single file is valid SVG (it
passes the WGC validator), so is this something QGIS can handle, or will
I need to source split files?

 

Thanks,

Jonathan
