[Qgis-developer] print composer, more symbols - Roadmap 2.2

[Andrea Peri]

Hi,

We in Tuscany Region are study-ing a set of qml and svg symbol to full draw
a Cartography Technical Chart with QGIS.
When finished we plan to release all with a cc-by license.

> having software that allows more functionality for quality map design is
> extremely important. It can be the single reason people chose one software
> package over another. For many years ESRI’s ArcMap has had a leg up on open
> source GIS software because it has such a nice print/map “composer” (the
> Layout in ArcMap) but I believe this can change from what I see happening
> in QGIS. Multiple insets/data frames would be very nice. Also, I was
> surprised at how few preloaded line and polygon symbols there are. Just a
> handful. No railroad symbol? Would be really, really, good to have more of
> these available. Map designers love this kind of stuff.
