Well....I would say no to shapefiles. <br>
Spatialite would work - probably postgis would be better. <br>
<br>
You could contain your project in one QGIS File - for instance I'm
story an entire project in postgis and am retrieving various
components through about 20 qgs files. All the annotation etc is
stored in the qgs file, all labels, line colors, and map layouts.
All the data is stored in PostGIS. <br>
<br>
Of course that's a much larger discussion than my simple few
sentences - but I think if you want everything stand alone.....eh -
it's going to have to be at least two components or QGIS/<file
format> of some sort. I think there will always be some external
querying (be it automatic or manual)....of I'm understanding it all
correctly. <br>
<br>
...and I just looked at your example and that's a head scratcher. I
think QGIS with Atlas to pull from the database automatically maybe
a better train of thought. <br>
<br>
I just wanted to say Good Luck, We're all counting on you. <br>

Before I go too far down the wrong path perhaps you can help me
with a suggestion on a vector format to use for a project of
mine: <br>
<br>
I'm to looking to basically re-create various Instrument Approach
Procedure plates (see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1513/00375il28r.pdf">here</a>
for an example for San Francisco International - SFO ) from a
database via a perl script and display a number of them as vector
overlays in an existing QGIS project<br>
<br>
What would be a good format to use for this purpose? <br>
<br>
I'm imagining something like a QGIS project file, but I want it to
contain to contain all of the various bits of information
internally (coordinates, names, styling, icons etc.) and not have
to query anything external so each file is a stand-alone unit. <br>
<br>
Ideally all of the coordinates would be real world lon/lat so no
transformation would be required. Bonus points if the format is
openly standardized and easy to work with<br>
<br>
DWG/DXF? SVG?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jesse<br>
