Re: [Qgis-user] style files
Kyle, My experience with spatial lite is limited, but When working with PostgreSQL (PostGIS), you can save the style to the database, not sure if this is only available in PostgreSQL. Might I also suggest you send the QGIS Project File, this will keep all the styling for you, and as long as the other users open it in QGIS. Regards, Richard.

Or the manual way, copy style - paste style - save style. Thanks, Alex On 02/18/2016 02:13 PM, Kyle T. Kouri wrote: So I have been experimenting for past few days.

Kyle Todd Kouri This is the closest thing I know of https://pvanb.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/saving-layer-styles-to-your-spatialite-database/ I was wondering what would happen if you had multiple styles for the same layer, and I think the Save as Default style box is the key there. Otherwise I would save QGIS projects, and send the project file with the data, and tell users to open the projects. You could potentially write a plugin that does the autoloading of associated styles and tables too.

[Qgis-user] style files

Re: [Qgis-user] Style files
Hello Priscilla, there is a plugin that will enable you to open MapInfo .wor files in QGIS. MapInfo styles are a double faced beast, features could be styled inside the .tab file, but themes are added in the wor(kspace). Both are well documented, OGR (a part of GDAL -- www.gdal.org -- which is the library that QGIS uses to access files) can read and pass styling to QGIS, and wor files are mostly converted into QGIS projects by the OpenWOR plugin ( https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/openwor/). MapInfo workspaces are anyway fairly easy to mimic "by hand", reading the layers needed and their styling (wor is a text file with a list of layers and commands). Color description is somehow an obstacle, but if your workspaces are not well converted, I should dig in my old documents to find out what you need. Even other "closed" GIS programs are not so closed: lyr files are text as well, and GeoMedia geoworkspaces are or could be saved as xml. QGIS handles styles very well by means of QT, using QML (an open but specialized XML), and also by SLD (more widely used and OGC standard). It can save styles besides files or inside a database, providing something very similar to .lyr files in ArcGIS. Beware that styles saved with projects override those saved into the database, so potential conflicts may arise. c On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 11:09:51 +, Priscilla Maisie < adwoa.mai...@gmail.com> wrote: > To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org > Subject: [Qgis-user] Style files > Message-ID: > < > cajleq3q5vya4kt_t2qewg4axy5243_xepsf0dmvms0jns3w...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi, I'm a new qgis user n I need to get some style files for geological > structures, and diverse line styles which are currently not in qgis.

Re: [Qgis-user] Style files
Hello priscilla, If you are able to save them in the open and standard SLD file format, you will be able to open it in qgis (and many other applications). Otherwise, I'm afraid that esri and mapinfo files are "closeded" and therefore not readable by qgis (and many other applications).
