Hello,
I have a number of files that are full of filled polygons, which are available
as .shp or .tab files. Most of these files represent geological data, so the
colours of the polygons are an important part of visually identifying the data.
When I was using these in Mapinfo (and from what I s
On MapInfo side: There are MapBasic functions that read object style
values. You can use them to populate the attribute table with the
styles. This should then be possible without mif/mid export.
On QGis side: make use of the style values already in attribute table,
by translating them into qgi
nverter to QGIS style files.
Best wishes,
Anita

Whatever format Mapinfo uses to store style information
Here is an example of a polygon with (horrible) graphical attributes,

Hi Ramon,
What you describe is data-defined styling - taking the symbology options
from a db field.
In QGIS you can use this for label settings, like font-family, font-color,
position, styles, etc. - unfortunately this is not available for the
simpler task of styling polygons or lines.
It would

You can also set a default style for a layer (button "Save as Default"). It
will be applied even if you load the layer into a different/new project.
Best wishes,
Anita

There is potential for automatically styling data from MapInfo data
sets, I don't know how feasible it is or whether there is a large
enough MapInfo contingent that would be interested in funding the
effort if it is possible.
In a MapServer application, one can specify that MapServer should use
