For now, I just write generated svg files to a temp directory and add links to them to every feature. Strings might get long though. Here is for example the code from my dummy image (1.4kb): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!-- Created with Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) --> <svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="32" height="32" id="svg2985"> <defs id="defs2987" /> <metadata id="metadata2990"> <rdf:RDF> <cc:Work rdf:about=""> <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format> <dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /> <dc:title></dc:title> </cc:Work> </rdf:RDF> </metadata> <g id="layer1"> <rect width="32" height="32" ry="5.1795878" x="0" y="0" id="rect2993" style="fill:#efefef;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none" /> <path d="m 3.2204932,9.8354288 c 0,0 2.1492989,4.3642312 5.9021879,4.1948682 2.6857939,-0.121208 2.4849709,-3.285023 5.3970119,-3.017097 3.079402,0.283325 2.518907,6.965981 6.783374,7.088215 4.047473,0.116014 6.797316,8.50238 6.797316,8.50238" id="path3763" style="fill:none;stroke:#a32800;stroke-width:1.60000002;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-opacity:1;stroke-dasharray:none" /> </g> </svg> On 24-06-16 14:34, Hugo Mercier wrote: > It would be also cool to be able to directly use a string as image > content for a marker (rather than just for the filename). > That should be quite easy to do. > > On 24/06/2016 14:28, Nathan Woodrow wrote: >> Raymond, >> >> Code generated SVGs is a pretty cool idea.
