      Hi Andrea<br>
      <br>
      Is the drawing controled by the ordering of the polygons in the
      shapefile ?<br>
      <br>
      So the 1st entry will be draw first, second entry entry next etc<br>

              Hi list<br>
              <br>
              I have a shape file with several overlapping ploygons, is
              there any way of telling qgis which order to draw the
              polygons in?<br>
              <br>
              Naturally I would a like the smallest polygon to be drawn
              on top of the larger polygons so thats its possible to all
              of the polygons at one time.<br>
              <br>
              The data has a layer id which has a different value for
              each of the polygons, could I use this to force the
              ordering of the drawing?<br>
              <br>
              <br>
              regards<br>
              <br>
              Dave.<br>
