I want to combine raster and vector sources but I found it impossible to discover how to use the -sql parameter together with the PDF creation option -co OGR_DATASOURCE= Fortunately it was enough to add an attribute named OGR_STYLE into the shapefile and fill in styles as strings. Styles are really applied feature by feature so it is possible to set colours and line widths individually for each feature in the shapefile, which is pretty amusing. I could symbolize lines and polygons with PEN and BRUSH by using the examples from http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_feature_style.html However, I could not make SYMBOL settings to work with my points. They appear as grey circles even if I attached some OGR_STYLE strings to them, like SYMBOL(c:#00FF00,id:"ogr-sym-7") I was able to set the colours of the points by using PEN but altering the w: parameter did not change the size of the points. -Jukka Rahkonen- > Best regards, > > Even > _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
