Hi again,

You can also print SVG patterns to PDF, but you have to rasterize the map. In the print composer in the general options use the checkbox "Print as Raster" and select an appropriate DPI. You will get a PDF with an embedded raster then. Not ideal I know.

The bug fixing is in the works, but quite complicated, since the bug is in the underlying qt pdf/svg libraries.

Hi Wolf,

We need to know a bit more details to help you.

In QGIS there are two types of patterns: SVG patterns or predefined patterns. They behave different. Which patterns are you using?

Patterns are unfortunately still problematic. The predefined patterns don't print well, in fact the predefined patterns should be removed from QGIS in a future version. The SVG patterns print fine if you print to raster or to postscript. They don't print well if you export to PDF. This is a known bug in QT.

As to scaling of SVG patterns: you can define the patterns in map units (in which case they scale with zooming) or in mm in which they stay in constant size, regardless of the zoom factor.

Hope this helps?

Andreas

Hello,

i am using Qgis 1.6. I want to print a map using fill patterns. On
the screen it looks ok, when i change the map scale, the scale of the
fill patterns looks all the time the same. But when i print it, the
fill pattern is very big. When i change the map scale, also the
printed pattern changes. But nevertheless using the scales 1 : 5000 or
1 : 10000 the pattern is very big.
I tried it with various fill patterns, and the effect is the same.

Can someone help me?

Hi Andreas,

first I thank for the quick answer and your help.

Really I used the predefined patterns. But then also I tried the
SVG-pattern and the result was not very sharp. But I controlled it
only by PDF. So I will print it.

Hi Andreas,

I thank you for your help.

I tried to play a little with defining the SVG-patterns i map units and in mm. I have the feeling, that "mm" also scales with zooming. Can it be or I am wrong?

Hi Andreas,

I am sorry, it was a mistake. Defining SVG-patterns in "mm" don't scales by zooming.
