Hi Jukka, > Please notice the difference: SLD and advanced styling are for styling the > whole layer (yes, with filters and by use of attribute values it is possible > to create several styles for one layer, but still) while OGR feature styles > like the pick color tool are for styling individual features. Yes, I see the difference > Those styling features do not compete with each other, I think they do. From my point of view, styling individual features is the way cartographers thought before informatic era. Nowadays, the most flexible approach is to attach attributes to features (with semantic reflecting the real feature, not the cartographer subjectivity), then cartographers can represent features based on these attributes, and change appearance easily, depending on what they want to show. > they are rather alternativesy. OK, I can also agree with that too. I'm sure styling features directly can be more efficient (and nicer) in some situations. > And OGR text strings are actually dead simple, I made pretty amusing trials > by writing them by hand as OGR_STYLE attributes with OpenJUMP. How did you display them ? And what advantage did you find over OpenJUMP labelling ?
