[Qgis-user] Display pictures at points

[Josef Fürst]

Hi Andy,
thank you! Your advice was the most efficient! Because my pictograms are
square, a filled and properly scaled square marker ist perfect!

Before I got your e-mail, I had already solved it using SVG markers, which
I had to generate first. Since I do this processing in R, I just had to
switch from PNG to SVG output.

To all the others who responded to my request: Thank you! I learned a lot.
These custom functions in the expressions are incredibly powerful!

Thank you and kind regards,

Josef
