[Qgis-user] inserting symbols into qgis

[sunny74]

Hi Alex,Fischer

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
So I understand that only SVG files are accepted by QGIS as symbols.
Then I have to convert jpg,bmp etc into svg.
Do I have to use Inkscape i.e http://www.inkscape.org/ for the conversion.

Warm Regards.
