Re: [Qgis-user] loading geologic symbol library

Sat, 15 Jan 2022 01:43:48 -0800

Hi Byron,

Sorry for the diversion.

In fact, what do you mean by "import"?

If you want to use one or more symbols from those folders, see (amongst many other tutorials) https://geo.rocks/post/qgis-custom-svg-markers/

Note that by default, on Windows, svg files will have the icon of your default browser. They are plain xml files.

Hope this helps.

BTW, I've downloaded the files and there is no problem using them in QGIS once you put them into the SVG path.

Regards,
Benoit

Hey Benoit,

now all is fine :) Can imagine that it's not so easy to keep everything up to date .
E.g. the geological stuff from the Resource Sharing Plugin seems to be mainly non-functional as well at the moment ...

Thanx a bunch!

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Oops! Some files did not upload at all... Please try again to download the FGDC folder.

32 files should be in 700-LithoMetalIgneousVein folder.

Cheers,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,

thanx a ton! Now it works. Just, symbols for 703 to 733 are question marks again.

Cheers,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

You're right the xml's on the repo do point to non-existent folders.

I've added a FGDC folder to the repo with the correct folder structure. Copy that folder (FGDC) into one of QGIS svg path folders and you can then use the xml files to import the svg symbols.

Cheers,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,


sorry for the confusion. I specifically refer to your answer and the linked project. There is a svg-folder and a folder with the xml-files from the download.

Setting the path to the svg-folder and then importing the xml is simply not successful.

As you refered to this project, I assumed that you successfully imported those styles.

Cheers,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your comments. It seems I've misread Byron's problem and assumed that his library is wrapped up into an xml file!

In order to use the solution I've provided you need to have an xml "library" file describing the .svg files.
Then you point Settings -> Style Manager... -> Import/Export -> Import Item(s)... to the xml file not the svg files.


@Byron, open one of your svg files with a text editor. Does the first line starts with "<svg" or is it '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>'?
If not you probably have downloaded html files embedding svg images!

Cheers,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,

I just tried to import the symbols from the page you mentioned which leads to this repository: https://github.com/BC-Consulting/FGDC-4-QGIS/

Now, even with all explanations given, the import seems not to work properly.

no matter what path I add for the FDGC folder (just the .../FDGC or the .../FDGC/svg path) , on import, it says, that

- the symbols are already there and gives the option to overwrite or skip,

This is "normal" behaviour, so just say "overwrite"

- the option to add comma-separted tags (e.g. Geology) does not work, and no tag at all is given

- all symbols are just question marks

Are those guidelines just precisely unprecise, or am I just to dumb to understand whats asked from me?

Cheers

Bernd

See https://www.geoproc.com/be/qgis-fgdc.htm for more info.

Best regards,

i have download a geologic symbol library from Rod Holcolme, a geology prof in australia.  i have set up the path for the files via the Options>system>.svg path. 
this seems to have linked to the directory, but i can not figure out how to see the files. 
within the directory, there are several files that show up as microsoft edge html files with the file types as shown below.  

GeoQSymbols/DipDir/001%20Bedding%20(dipdir).svg

Can anyone help me to get these imported.  i can not get them imported .
thanks for your help
