<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was just looking through the changelogs and got really excited when I saw data defined control over map layers! (<a href="http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/visualchangelog212/index.html#feature-data-defined-control-over-map-layers-and-style-presets">http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/visualchangelog212/index.html#feature-data-defined-control-over-map-layers-and-style-presets</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is exactly what I’d been asking about on the list last year (<a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2015-August/033211.html">http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2015-August/033211.html</a>) so thanks so much to
Nyall for adding this functionality!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not 100% sure that I’m using it in the correct way though. I have managed to achieve it by duplicating my atlas coverage features so that there is one feature per layer with an attribute holding the layer name. I then use the attribute
in the data defined layers option.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this the way to do it or am I missing something? I wasn’t sure where/if the ‘set layer list from a visibility preset’ should come into play.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I first read the post I thought that the | separated list of layers would be cycled through one by one but then realised that they’d all be displayed together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a static list of 20 or so layers to cycle through for each site so ideally if I could specify a list of layers (or visibility presets) to loop through that would be amazing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Failing that I can write a little plugin to take a selected feature and create a scratch layer with the feature duplicated with the layer attribute values.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again for adding this, it’ll be a massive time saver for us!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
