Hi Bernhard, I think you are right - we are missing an option to shift marker symbols and also dashes along the line, starting from the lines origin.
SVG has an attribute called stroke-dashoffset for that (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#StrokeProperties). There is a long-standing feature request open to implement this (4 years old): http://hub.qgis.org/issues/1772 This covers stroke-dashoffset, but not the cases where one wants to offset markers along the line. It would be nice if someone could step up and implement or finance this. Andreas Am 11.11.2013 15:16, schrieb Bernhard Ströbl: > Hi, > > and thank you for your patience.
