[Qgis-developer] Label and Symbology Improvements: how to proceed

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Now that we have the new symbology and label placemente in trunk I'd like
to discuss how we can proceed adding in the missing features, mainly the
ones that were present with the old symbology and label placement.

It is mainly related to units (one should be able to choose between map
units and pixels everywhere) and data driven properties, where the
symbolization is taken from an attribute columen, e.g. (font-size,
font-color, fill and stroke-color, etc.). It would even be great to have
complex multi-layer lines based on several attributes.

What I need most urgently is data-driven coloring (fill/stroke/font color)
and unit support everywhere.

I don't expect Martin to do all the work - we have a support contract with
Jürgen (Norbit) and/or Marco, so maybe some of the work could be split up?

Thanks for discussing how we can organize the adding of the missing bits
in the new symbology. Should I compile a list of what is missing for our
use cases?

Andreas
