[Qgis-community-team] How to port USGS's symbology

[MORREALE Jean Roc]

Hi,

The USGS has made available a whole set of graphical symbology for 
geological cartography, the final draft is from 2006 and readable here 
-> http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/fgdc_gds/

It covers lines, symbols, patterns. You can use them trough *.eps, *.ai 
swatches, *.pdf or arcgis template. I've been using them with Adobe 
Illustrator and Arcgis 9.3 for geological maps and the result is great 
so I would like to port them to Quantum GIS. I've read about Martin's 
symbology work on the wiki but haven't found how to do a template.

These graphics are public domain, the USGS's people I've been talking to 
are interested by another implementation of this standard (as they said, 
they often have inquiries for it but nothing to point to except 
Illustrator and ArcGIS).

Regards,
MORREALE Jean Roc
