<b>Betreff:</b> [Qgis-user] polygon fills from different shapefiles</div>
<div name="quoted-content">
<div>i have four different geologic maps that i have imported as shapefiles. The files have filled polygons that have the name of the geologic formation in the attribute tables. i would like to have a common colour for each polygon of identical age/name for all the map sheets. Each map sheet has a similar list of formations, but some of the formations are different for each map sheet.
<div>What is the most efficient way to make the identically named polygons displayed with the same colour? Should i add a column in each attribute table and put a formation code in for each one manually or can i add an RGB colour for each formation in the attribute table? or, do i need to categorize and classify these in the layer properties table after i have added formation code in the attribute table?</div>
<div>i hope that my question is clear.
