Hi Les, data-driven symbology and labeling is certainly possible. Look out for these small icons next to each property widget where you can either choose an attribute column or a QgsExpression (calculation). This works for virtually any property. If something is missing, it could certainly be added.
Regarding the legend, things are more complicated. If you use a lot of data-driven symbology and labeling, generation of legends (both in the layer tree and in print composer) will not work properly. In print composer you can use a static legend as a workaround. You can draw the legend yourself in a graphics package like Illustrator/Inkscape and import the legend as SVG. It is an open, not so easy to solve issue how to properly generate dynamic legends based on data-defined symbology and labeling - to still work fast enough - and do not destroy a print layout. Ideas/comments/funding welcome ;-) Andreas Am 24.07.2014 21:06, schrieb [email protected]: > Andreas, > > Thank you for your advice regarding dynamic labelling.
