[Qgis-user] Strike and dip symbology and labels

[Karl Magnus Jönsson]

Hi!
I can't visualize, in my head, what you are trying to achieve and what's going wrong. Can you supply a simple sketch?

Ämne: [Qgis-user] Strike and dip symbology and labels

Hello,

I have strike and dip structural geology data and would like to plot the symbols with correctly positioned labels for the dip marker. The strike angle can be used for the rotation in a clockwise direction, but labelling the dip vector of the symbol is very hit and miss.

A typical data file would be:

Longitude, Latitude, Strike (clockwise from 0 degrees), dip direction (orthogonal to strike).

Is there an easy method to deal with this? I can manually position the labels with offsets, but for a lot of data this would be a time consuming task!

Thanks

Lester
