Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

[Etienne Trimaille]

Hi,

I agree, It could very nice if in the save as dialog we can have a hint
about what is "Feature Symbology" and "Symbol layer symbology"and which one
we should use.

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Morten,

This is about saving OGR feature styles (e.g. for DXF and KML export). 
It has nothing to do with QGIS styles.


I agree though, that it is a bit confusing and one of those things that 
should be improved or removed in QGIS 3.

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Morten,

The current way of saving styles in geopackage is through the Layer 
properties dialogue --> "Style" tab.


If your data source is Geopackage it will offer to save the style in the 
same geopackage. It is the same way as you would save a style in Postgis 
or in SpatiaLite.


If you think there is a better way than the above (e.g. when saving a 
layer also save the style), please open a feature request with a 
detailed proposal, or even better try to find a developer who would 
implement it for you.


Greetings,

Andreas

Well, shapefiles may not support styling or then they do. Read page 15 of
the document
http://latuviitta.org/documents/Geospatial_PDF_maps_from_OSM_with_GDAL.pdf
There I show how it is possible to use OGR_STYLES with shapefiles and
convert the result into a geospatial PDF map.

I would rather say that only a few software support styling vector data with
OGR_STYLES.

If it does not have a bug tracker (looks indeed that it is lacking
that), you can/should email the author (see
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/gearthview/ for his email address).

Hi Joris,

Don't suppose you (or anyone) knows where the tracker for it is? Its plugin

[Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Joris HINTJENS]

I use the plugin GEarthview for KML-KMZ export. It keeps the styling for 
polygones and attributes


Joris


Hi List,
General curiosity question.
When using "Save Vector Layer as" to save a vector layer, there's an optioon:
"Symbology Export"

This in turn has three options:
"No Symbology"
"Feature symbology"
"Symbol layer symbology"

What does this do? I've tried exporting to both KML and TAB files using these 
options but they don't appear to keep the symbology.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Jonathan,

I think this option should be disabled if a format does not support
feature styling. I don't know if OGR provides this information?

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_kml.html
says about KML:
"Limited support is available for fills, line color and other styling
attributes. Please try a few sample files to get a better sense of
actual behavior."

 Hi Jonathan,

 The thread you are quoting is from 2011. The OGR feature styling was
 introduced later (in late 2012 or early 2013 I think).

 So did you really test KML export with "Feature symbology" or "symbol
 layer symbology"?

 I just tested it with QGIS master and with line features and different
 line colors. It worked. What did you do that it did not work? What
 steps? Do you have project/data to share?

 Hi Jonathan,

 This was originally introduced for DXF export to keep symbology as
 good
 as it can - which is now in its separate function (Project -> DXF
 Export) and not in the "save layer as" anymore.

 It uses the OGR feature styling, which in itself is rather limiting.
 This isn't widely implemented

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for further testing. I figured if something as simple as a fill
wasn't implemented then catogorisation probably wouldn't be.

A further thought - not all vector formats support styling (shapefile being
the most notable exception). Should it remain a general option or be moved
to "Datasource Options" for any supported style?
I lean towards the later option myself.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Jonathan,

I can only partially confirm what you describe.

I agree that for area feature the feature styling does not work for KML.
However, for line features, it works fine and there is a difference
between the three options. The "no symbology" only exports a single line
color, the "feature symbology" correctly exports the colors assigned to
the categories and the "symbol layer symbology" exports line features
multiple times in case of multiple levels in the line symbology.

So I'd rather improve this than remove it. If someone could work on the
area feature styling it would be great. Or maybe hook up with the OGR
project if things don't work as expected.

 Hi,

 Actually it is not tied to DXF, but DXF was the reason why it was
 introduced. It is just generic OGR feature styling.

 Maybe it should be removed/hidden/disabled because DXF now has its
 separate export. Maybe assign Marco Hugentobler to this ticket as he
 worked on this.

 Unless someone wants to work on it and improve it.

 Does it not work at all with KML? Not even a simple line color?

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
I'm testing with a simple polygon that's using the default style QGIS gave
it (so basically black border and a random fill colour).
I've exported using both options - all I get in the KML file is a black
border, no fill.
I can change the colour of the border in QGIS and it changes in the KML
file. So I guess that's a very partial implementation.

*However* - If I set it to "no symbology" I still get the coloured
boundary. So changing the value appears to do absolutely nothing which is I
guess what I saw when I first tested it (a while back). Hence my wondering
what it actually did.

Can you confirm this behaviour? It seems superfluous to have an option that
is ignored.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Jonathan,

The thread you are quoting is from 2011. The OGR feature styling was
introduced later (in late 2012 or early 2013 I think).

So did you really test KML export with "Feature symbology" or "symbol
layer symbology"?

I just tested it with QGIS master and with line features and different
line colors. It worked. What did you do that it did not work? What
steps? Do you have project/data to share?

 Hi Jonathan,

 This was originally introduced for DXF export to keep symbology as good
 as it can - which is now in its separate function (Project -> DXF
 Export) and not in the "save layer as" anymore.

 It uses the OGR feature styling, which in itself is rather limiting.
 This isn't widely implemented and tested. Would be nice if some devs or
 interested customers/users could give it some love.

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
I don't believe QGIS exports any KML styling. I was interested in doing a
full style KML export and got this -
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/styling-a-KML-KMZ-file-using-QGIS-td4125929.html-
seems not to be possible.

I'll open a ticket for removing/hiding it. I'd suggest you open a ticket
for expanding it - you know more about it so will be able to write a better
ticket about it. :-)

Regards,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Actually it is not tied to DXF, but DXF was the reason why it was
introduced. It is just generic OGR feature styling.

Maybe it should be removed/hidden/disabled because DXF now has its
separate export. Maybe assign Marco Hugentobler to this ticket as he
worked on this.

Unless someone wants to work on it and improve it.

Does it not work at all with KML? Not even a simple line color?

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the information. I'd suggest it should probably be removed
until/unless it is fleshed out as you note. Either that or changed to be a
"Datasource option" specific for DXF.
Should I open a ticket for this?

Cheers,

[Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
General curiosity question.
When using "Save Vector Layer as" to save a vector layer, there's an
optioon:
"Symbology Export"

This in turn has three options:
"No Symbology"
"Feature symbology"
"Symbol layer symbology"

What does this do? I've tried exporting to both KML and TAB files using
these options but they don't appear to keep the symbology.

Cheers,
Jonathan
