[Qgis-user] Double line Feature

2011-10-25 Thread Matej Mailing
Hi all, It would be very useful to have a feature to draw a Double line in QGIS. Is this currently possible? Thanks. Matej ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Probably, you can view this custom railway-style (below) and modify to draw double line instead, if applicable. http://linfiniti.com/2010/12/video-tutorial-1-creating-a-custom-railway-style/ Noli On 10/25/11, Matej Mailing wrote: > Hi all, > > It would be very useful to have a feature to draw a

You could just draw the line and then use the CADTools parallel tool to create the second one. I think the use case for drawing a double line would be limited. - Nathan On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 8:01 PM, Matej Mailing wrote: > Hi all, > > It would be very useful to have a feature to draw a Doubl

Thanks for the information! We have looked at the CADTools and the option for drawing parallel, but just to "assign" parallel lines to existing line objects. What we are basically looking for is tool to draw double lines in a separate layer, but in a way of snapping some existing line in the centre

If I understand you correctly, you just want to symbolize an existing LINESTRING feature with double lines. You don't want to add additional parallel features, correct? If you look at the new symbology engine, you can stack multiple lines upon each other. F.e. you can create a thick black line

Basically we need this to define some sort of "protected area" (for example, 30 cm in both sides from the cable) along some telecommunication network cables (mainly optical) and therefore I don't think only the representation would be sufficient. Probably some plugin that would create polygon with

I also think that buffer is what you really need to use. In order to snap to the original line just keep it in the project too. On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 1:08 PM, Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: > On 2011-10-25 13:52, Matej Mailing wrote: > > Basically we need this to define some sort of "protected ar

This is almost it! :-) Now we get a lot of polygons - is it possible to combine all the polygons into one object (so that there are no "borders" inside it)? Thanks, Matej 2011/10/25 Albin Blaschka > > > Am 25.10.2011 13:52, schrieb Matej Mailing: > > Basically we need this to define some sort
