Because I was lacking a better idea, I just filled in * the maximum value of any attribute for histograms * the maximum value of the scale attribute for circular diagrams IF the field is left empty. This way, I don't have to care for not overwriting any manual changes of the user and subsequent actions such as adding attributes. > >> Which attribute is selected does not matter here at all.

All done. Thank you for the inputs. I'd be glad if you could give it a short test. -- Matthias > Overall, a good improvement, thanks. > All the best. > -- > Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia > www.faunalia.eu > Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc > Nuovi corsi QGIS e PostGIS: http://www.faunalia.it/calendario _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
