Hey, guys.
I've been considering whether it'd be useful to have a "symbology
exchange" so we can share symbols. So far all that exists is the
documentation explaining that one can use multiple styles to make
complex symbols, but a recipe is worth a dozen howtos.
I figure this could be as easy as a new howto page, and folks comment
with their own additions.
I, for example, have a nice set of two-color squares, stars, diamonds,
and the like at 6 sizes. It took some experimenting to figure that these
sizes were the only ones that look good for each shape. I also have a
nice Google-style set for TIGER data or other streets, and a decent set
of polygon fills. And I suspect that other folks have done some neat
vector symbols, or know where to download a set of 100 carto icons, etc.
Would this be an interesting and useful page? Does it already exist
elsewhere?
