[QGIS-it-user] Qgis simbologia elementi animati

Salve a tutti, uso Qgis 2.18 W7 x64. Ho trovato una cosa carina, i file SVG (disegni vettoriali) si possono usare come simbologia in Qgis. Questi SVG sono apribili pure con un editor di testo, basati sul linguaggio XML, inoltre è possibile aggiungere parametri di animazione agli stessi. Sarebbe
