[Qgis-user] Some extra North Arrows :-)

[Nikos Alexandris]

Dear QGIS community,

I've scratched some "north arrows" (using inkscape, based on one of
defaults) that can be used as a point symbol. They are simple .svg files
(including one file called northarrow_source.svg which can be used for
further editing).

Hope you also like the "rotation field" and "area scale field" options
under Layer Properties, Point Symbol as I do. For example they can be
used with an "aspect" and an "area" column of a point-vector's attribute
table. Hopefully you enjoy those options as I do.

Cheers, Nikos

1. Decompress the zip file

2. Rename if necessary (that is if it happens that you already have
added extra north arrows and you don't want to overwrite anything - if
you just have the defaults skip this and worry about it in the future
when your northarrow collection becomes bigger ;-).

3. Copy/Move the files (except of the northarrow_source.svg) to the
directory "/usr/local/share/qgis/svg/north_arrows/". This steps needs
sudo (...sorry, I don't know what should be the corresponding folder in
windows).

4. Launch qgis and test/enjoy :-)
