Line Styling

• Line Cap – End cap for each line
• Line Join – Style for polygon corners
• Line Dash – Line fill style (solid, dashed, dotted)

Line Width

When assigning the width for lines in a layer, there are two modes:

• Fixed Width – fixed width for all zoom scales
• Scale-dependent width – line width is generated at each scale based on configured range

To configure Scale-dependent width lines:

1. In the sidebar, select the Layers tab
2. Right click on a line layer and click Styles
3. In the Geometry tab under Line Width, choose "Scale-dependent width"
4. Select a minimum/maximum Scale Range and minimum/maximum Line Width

📄 Note

At scales outside the defined boundary, the relevant minimum/maximum width is used.

Line Markers

Line markers are icons which can be placed at fixed points along a line.

📄 Note

Line markers require a Glyph or Texture icon to first be defined.

To add Line Markers:

1. In the sidebar, select the Layers tab
2. Right click on a line layer and click Styles
3. Click on the Glyphs tab or Textures tab and assign an icon

4. Click on the Line tab

5. Check the Enable Marker Placement box and click Add New Item

6. Click the +/- buttons to add or remove markers
7. Enter the positions as percentages of the line distance or drag the slider to the desired position

Colour, opacity, size, rotation and offset options are configured similarly to point layers.

Check the Rotate Marker box to automatically orientate the markers to follow the direction of the lines.
