[Qgis-user] drawing transport networks sharing lines

[dave.potts at pinan.co.uk]

Thanks guys that is wonderful.

As in all things the options to do what you want is sort of buried in Qgis and once you know that its there you wind up kicking your for not spotting it before.

As you say Style,, click on the lowest level of your line and the details for the line appear including Offset option, I had just been looking at the the top options.

	You could try adjusting the X and/or Y offset for each tube line although it doesn’t draw them exactly parallel. In my example my line width is 2 units and I have duplicated the lines and offset one layer 1 unit and the other -1 unit

	Well, depending on how many classes you have for routes, you could make each type (class ) a differnt width, and stack the lines on top of each other with the widest one at the bottom of the stack.
	If you don’t have vertical order control, you m,ight be able to get away with some level of opacity applied to each trail in order to see through to the next line type.

	I am trying to draw a transport network within qgis, sometimes two network links share same path with the result the qigs draw each link on top of each other.

Is there anyway of getting qgis to draw the links next to each other?

For example with the tub network the district and circle line is drawn as two lines yellow and green next to each other when they share a common route. Qgis would draw the green line on top of the yellow line
