[Qgis-user] printing scale of fill patterns to great

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Wolf,

 We need to know a bit more details to help you.

 In QGIS there are two types of patterns: SVG patterns or predefined 
 patterns. They behave different. Which patterns are you using?

 Patterns are unfortunately still problematic. The predefined patterns 
 don't print well, in fact the predefined patterns should be removed from 
 QGIS in a future version. The SVG patterns print fine if you print to 
 raster or to postscript. They don't print well if you export to PDF. 
 This is a known bug in QT.

 As to scaling of SVG patterns: you can define the patterns in map units 
 (in which case they scale with zooming) or in mm in which they stay in 
 constant size, regardless of the zoom factor.

 Hope this helps?

 Andreas
