[Qgis-user] Understanding the rule-based renderer

2011-04-08 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi, I am trying to better understand the rule based renderer. Which version is correct? a) QGIS is rendering all features of the first rule, then the second rule, etc, Features of the first rule are rendered first, features of the second rule on top of features from the first rule b) QGIS is

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.

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

Ok, I ask as i am making my own set of rules/standards for the CommonMap API (which works the same as OpenStreetMap) accept the licence of the data is ccBY, instead of ccBYsa/Odbl. So the source datasets begin with Natural Earth, GeoBase (Canada), CanVec (Canada), TIGER (USA), LINZ (New Zealand)

It sounds like that the USGS DLG might be better suited than Tiger, though it is outdated.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

data over TIGER. However, for roads and a number of other things (like county and municipal boundaries, urban POIs, etc.), I'd vote for TIGER. Dan --- On *Fri, 4/8/11, Mike msw...@gmail.com* wrote: From: Mike msw...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Understanding the rule-based renderer
