The stroke only on inside option would be useful - but for dashed/dotted lines you would still get undesirable results because of shifted dashes, due to different line-length of the polygon borders.

So the only two options I see is Stephans solution - which works fine as long as your map background is white anyway, or to make sure that the double lines are eliminated, achievable with a number of tools (but not very dynamic, esp. for large data that changes a lot).

Or, the third option would be to use a topological data set from the start (e.g. GRASS data a topological Postgis tables).

Hi.
and what about using the "Draw line only inside polygon" option?

Thanks David although we are using live data. Stefan’s approach is a good one so I think I will continue with that, thanks for everyone’s responses

Here is another solution that would work if you are not mapping live data, and you can use a derived product. Convert your polygon dataset to lines. The, use Vector>Dissolve to remove duplicated lines where they are overlapping.

Hey Stefan,

Neat trick/idea with the white line. I’ll have to write that one down. Hmm, I wonder instead of white though, if you could convert that to transparent as well . . . .

Hi

Put a white line under the dotted line („Add symbol layer“).

Perhaps there is also a solution with the blending modes?

Hi

I have a boundary layer that I want to symbolise with a dotted line. The outer boundary appears ok, but where two polygons are adjacent to each other, the dotted line becomes virtually solid (indicated below). How can I make these lines appear the same as my outer boundary lines…

Thanks, Chris
