[Qgis-user] fill patterns in map printing

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Markus

In the newest svn trunk version, there is an svg fill renderer that scales an 
svg pattern to the resolution of the screen / composer. Like this, you could 
create a line texture as svg file, e.g. in inkscape (or ask on the list if 
someone already has a good one). Then, in the vector prop. dialog, click 'new 
symbology', click 'properties' and choose symbol layer type 'SVGFill'.

The brush scaling does not work if you print to pdf (due to a known bug in the 
Qt library). But it is supposed to work for direct printing, postscript, svg 
or to a pixel graphic format (e.g. jpg, png).

Regards,
Marco
