Re: [Qgis-user] Display pictures at points

[Josef Fürst]

Hi Andy,
thank you! Your advice was the most efficient! Because my pictograms are
square, a filled and properly scaled square marker ist perfect!

Before I got your e-mail, I had already solved it using SVG markers, which
I had to generate first. Since I do this processing in R, I just had to
switch from PNG to SVG output.

To all the others who responded to my request: Thank you! I learned a lot.
These custom functions in the expressions are incredibly powerful!

Thank you and kind regards,

Josef

Untested, but (in 2.18 and possibly earlier) you can create Filled 
Marker styles with a raster image fill, and the source of the raster can 
be data driven. Worth a try?


Cheers,

Andy

but these specific diagrams are already available in PNG (or JPG) 
format. An attribute of the point shapefile contains the filenames of 
the pictures. I can display these pictures interactively point by 
point using either eVIs Browser or Action, even HTML maptip. But I 
want to see them all together on the map like other point symbols (or

Any idea? Some existing script or plugin that I can use as a starter? 
Or maybe I am just missing an existing feature?


Thank you!

North Road are working on such a feature I think - not sure on progress at this 
stage. Maybe contact them and see how things are progressing.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Display pictures at points

 

Dear QGIS users,

I am switching over more and more from ArcGIS to QGIS. Many features are really 
much nicer.
But now I am needing a feature that displays small pictures (pictograms) at all 
points of a point shapefile. Similar to diagrams, but these specific diagrams 
are already available in PNG (or JPG) format. An attribute of the point 
shapefile contains the filenames of the pictures. I can display these pictures 
interactively point by point using either eVIs Browser or Action, even HTML 
maptip. But I want to see them all together on the map like other point symbols 
(or diagrams).

Any idea? Some existing script or plugin that I can use as a starter? Or maybe 
I am just missing an existing feature?

Thank you!

Sepp
