Hi All,
Sorry to hijack the topic (and the dev x-post), but this thread
prompted me to bring up a general issue with custom symbols. The
current structure for adding new symbols on OS X is pretty poor
(perhaps on other OS's as well?). It requires the user to copy the
relevant svg files to

Hi
Your suggestions did not work.
I converted my .jpg's into .svg's and placed them in a separate folder
within the svg folder of QGIS but it did not show in symbology.
Then I put them in to one of the existing folders but again the same result,
even though I restarted QGIS.

Inkscape also has an image tracing utility built-in to convert raster
images to vectors. If you're willing to do a bit of tinkering with the
conversion parameters I've had very good results with this process.

Hi,
SVG is a hybrid format. It can also embed raster images (jpg,png). So
theoretically you could embed your existing symbols in a raster (with a
SVG shell around it). However, this is not recommended since the raster
images don't scale properly. They would get pixely/or blurry when enlarged.
Hi Alex,Fischer
Thanks to both of you for your replies.
So I understand that only SVG files are accepted by QGIS as symbols.
Then I have to convert jpg,bmp etc into svg.
Do I have to use Inkscape i.e http://www.inkscape.org/ for the conversion.
Warm Regards.

Dear Friends,
I want to insert my own symbols in my map.
I am displaying map using mapserver and openlayers.
But when I create the mapfile using qgis and click Symbols for the different
layers I find that it allows its own symbols to be selected.
I cannot insert my own symbol into the symbol coll
