Hi,<br>
I am in need of some guidance, I am trying to create an "active
hatch/Fill" as part of a style im working on. What I want is for a
hatch to rotate depending on the orientation of a Polygon.<br>
For example, here is the same entity rotated, with the hatch
rotating.<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.04080909.03070101@opw.ie" alt="" height="386"
width="210"><br>
The issue is I am working on a database, onto which I cant add any
data (additional columns) to the tables, I would like to do this
from within the styling.<br>
You can use an expression to denote the angle, so I was hoping to do
it that way.<br>
I was looking to utilize the geometry of a bounding box, and
calculate the angle of the diagonal, using something like<br>
<br>
180*atan((ymax - ymin)/(xmax - xmin))/$pi + 90<br>
<br>
But I am not having any luck....If there is no way at present to do
this, Might I put it forward as a possible new feature?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Richard.<br>
