Dynamic shape size #10

Closed uppalavamsi closed 6 years ago

uppalavamsi commented 6 years ago

Could there be a possibility of having shape sized to their relative density to the objects around, such that visibility is good. Such that shapes would not overlay but have better visibility when zoomed out.

Got this going with small tweak, by just re-arranging data in descending order

However it could be better to give users on-the-go option to do it so from tool level.

@uppalavamsi One thing I never thought about is the possibility to have the shapes as a style. Then it could be more dynamic. I don't know if this is a possibility, but I will check into it.

Hi Hamilton,

Of late was was reading about this feature coming in QGIS 3. Yet to explore the details. Would check some online material and identify the features.

It is like when we zoom out per se Google map major city name keep visible at all zoom levels to the ease of user readability.

This function would help Telecom engineer to optimize site with KPIs in comparison with its neighbours. This scenarios arrises with sites which are designed for rural, rail or road coverage while moving away and towards city or town which is ticket populated with cell sites where higher the magnitude of shape would result in overlapping and same time the spur sites visibility is degraded for on the go verification of details.

However it could be good to have this feature at tool level, would be checking it parallelly on QGIS.

I'm going to close this. Since Shape Tools create physical shapes, this request is not possible. Perhaps it could be done with styling, but that is outside the scope of Shape Tools.
