<p class="MsoNormal">Hi.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to set up a symbol type from one field and a symbol colour range from another field.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have set up several rule based styles for a point layer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ie for a given field (name) where the value equals George, I have set the symbol to a black square, for value = dave the symbol is a black circle etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a button that appears in the layer properties style window when you set it to rule based, called refine current rule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This allows you to choose a range from a different field (apples) for each rule ie for George if the value for apples is between 1 and ten I can chose a colour of blue, between 10 and 20 , green etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately when I do this, all of the formatting comes across, ie the symbol as well and it overrides the original choice of square, where I only want to change the colour. Anyone know how to fix that?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have figured out a way around it by initially setting up the ranges then using the data defined properties for the name field, however you cant then see on the legend the names?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
