[Qgis-user] Symbolize Line with two symbols
Dear list, I am trying to use two different symbols to symbolize a line. The result should look like this: x o x o solutions tried: 1) make a marker line (type interval) with two markers; result: the two markers are painted on top of each other 2) create svg symbol x o ; result: the shape of the line cannot even be guessed if it has many bows in it What I would need is a shift of symbol 2 _along_ the line (no in x/y direction) Does anyone have a solution or workaround for this?

The Marker Offset in X direction is what you are looking for. Bernhard Ströbl wrote: .. I am trying to use two different symbols to symbolize a line.

Hi, Try to combine simple line (use custom dash (e.g. Dash/Spacing = 0/2; 1/2)) with marker line (use appropriate size and interval (e.g. interval=5)).

I had already tried this solution (2) but as I mentioned in my original mail if the lines have many corners (partly with 90 degrees) the second symbol is not on the line any more. example: .. attachment: comlex_line.png___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi, and thank you for your patience. Maybe I miss something but I want two symbols e.g. a large and a small circle iterating, not a dashed line with a symbol.

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbolize Line with two symbols
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.
