I'll agree with that - but as a dataset type or function, DLG is more similar in intent to Canvec than Tiger - as Tiger I think is just roads. DLG includes contours, rivers, etc. As I said, the nationalmap is replacing it (because it is old), and the data is much better than the DLG, though it isnt

[Qgis-user] Rule renders and colour ramps

On a related thought to the recent questions about rule renders. Mostly I'm using the rules to define colour schemes that I can't work out how to get otherwise. Is there a way to define custom colour ramps? Particularly I'm thinking of colour brewer ramps. If there is, could someone point me in

Hi Mike, It depends on what it is. TIGER data has been substantially improved in recent years, and for roads, it is likely to be the best choice. Interestingly, the big TIGER important in OSM was from the 2006 data, the last year *before* the improvements in TIGER geolocation started to be rele

It sounds like that the USGS DLG might be better suited than Tiger, though it is outdated. The DLG is a more similar product type to the LINZ topo and Canvec stuff. DLG is being replaced by the nationalmap.gov stuff - see products and services on left side, as well as ustopo (which uses data from

Oops... it seems "it should" and it does indeed! Great. Sorry for the confusion. So qgis gets the CRS id from the layer, and the definition from its own crs db, if the id is not found, then it's unknown, right? Duarte -Mensagem original- De: Ramon Andinach [mailto:cust...@westnet.com.au

It would make sense for very well-known datasets with a fixed structure. Potential candidates are national survey datasets that are widely used or OpenStreetMap data. In my case, the rendering rules are very specific to my own data structure. It wouldn't make sense to share them. Andreas On

Hi Martin, Thank you for the explanation. I believe that a) option is more natural to users. But of course we would also need a way to later change the order of the rules - once they are created. For now I am just using additional layers until the rule-based renderer behaves like a) or SLD.
