[Qgis-user] SVG Fill

Thu Aug 16 07:27:29 PDT 2012

I suggest to stick with the current Shapefile structure outputed from OS
Translator.

Some local authorities use MasterMap in PostGIS format which is similar
to the format of OS Translator. So, any qml files will be useful for
them.

That would be great if you could release it if you manage to work
something out.

It must be a lot easier to get the point styles sorted as SVG files or
just a QGIS styles. I may try and create the point symbol ones in QGIS
anyway without using the SVGs for them.

Hi James,

Yes, that's the general consensus I've had from the off-list replies so
far. However, having now played around with some generously supplied
symbols, I'm not convinced QGIS could symbolise them neatly anyway
without tweaking the SVG itself (i.e. there's no way to specify distance
between symbols for instance).

I'm going to see if I can come up with something anyway and release it
back to the community to augment Lutra's releases (I'm using different
columns).

Thanks though,

Jonathan

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.

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
