Hello Manoj, About the shield I am not sure if size = 0 will work I'd better try to set "name" attribute to a field containing always a short text (smaller than you shield width), setting size to 6 and color as the same color than the image shield you are willing to use. (e.g. green text on green image will be invisible). At least as a test you will see if there is a behavior close to what you want.
About double dashed lines it is possible and not. If you want to have only two dashes and the rest of the line fully transparent it is not unless using pattern. But if you want e.g a red line with inside a double dashed yellow line, that is possible - draw first a thick solid red line of e.g. 9.0 width - draw a dashed yellow line a bit smaller of e.g. 5.0 width - finally, draw a thin red line of e.g. 3.0 width Regards, Nicolas Manoj Bist wrote: > > Hi, > > 1. ) Is there a way to draw a small image over a dashed line?
