Hi all,
I'm working on improving svg export from composer. The aim is to be able
to fine tune maps in a vector graphics editor (e.g. Illustrator or
Inkscape).
I already added an option to have each map layer in an different svg
group that will be recognized by Inkscape as a layer
(https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1092).
Now I'd like to have text (especially labels) exported as text and not
as paths.
At the moment text is vectorized (drawn with QPainter::drawPath) for
understandable portability reasons. While this can remain the default,
an option would be a nice addition and solve
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3975.
The option must be passed to QgsPalLabeling (tested, works at lest for
simple cases).
The question is where to put this option ?
So far I think of 3 places:
- a global project option: you will see the result in the canvas as you work
- a layer label option: in this case you have to change the behavior for
each layer
- a composer option: you make the choice when you export to svg, in this
case you don't see the result until you open the svg
Suggestion ?
Thanks,
V.
