[QGIS-Developer] Linking layout and symbol legend

2019-02-03 Thread Alexis R.L.
Hello everyone, I have asked Mr. Dawson about this but I am aware that he is quite busy with bugfixing and probably everyone reading this message. As some of you might be aware I am trying to implement a way to evaluate an expression in the legend. Currently this part seems to be functional but

[QGIS-Developer] New (small) feature Point Displacement Label distance (factor)

2019-02-03 Thread Henrik Spångmyr
Hi all! I've used the great Point Displacement symbology, but found the hard coded label distance to be too limiting. So I've adjusted the Point Displacement tool by adding a spinbox to allow the user to adjust the distance. I've attached a screenshot of the feature at the bottom of the mail. The
