[Qgis-user] How to copy styles between different geometry types? [Marketing Mail]

[b.j.kobben at utwente.nl]

A trick, or more a hack, would be to export the style to SLD, and then use a text editor to change the appropriate SLD polygon parts to line parts, eg:
 

<se:PolygonSymbolizer>
       <se:Stroke>
              <se:SvgParameter name="stroke">#816a45</se:SvgParameter>
              <se:SvgParameter name="stroke-width">0.07</se:SvgParameter>
            </se:Stroke>
            <se:Fill>
              <se:SvgParameter name="fill">#cddbe7</se:SvgParameter>
            </se:Fill>
</se:PolygonSymbolizer>

would become

to <se:LineSymbolizer>
       <se:Stroke>
              <se:SvgParameter name="stroke">#816a45</se:SvgParameter>
              <se:SvgParameter name="stroke-width">0.07</se:SvgParameter>
            </se:Stroke>
</se:PolygonSymbolizer>

of course the se:Fill part (if present) needs to be removed, otherwise most applications would consider it an error.

Not very elegant and needs a basic understanding of the SLD standard...

    How to copy styles of a polygon theme (line of the outline polygon) to the style of a line theme in QGIS styles, i. e. when changing the geometry type. Is there a trick?
