Layer order on SVG output not matching layer order in layer styles #118

Closed sdbernard closed 4 years ago

sdbernard commented 4 years ago

I'm getting very close to the style I'm after in QGIS now, there is a small issue with the order the layers are rendering when exporting as an SVG

This is in the QGIS canvas... image

This is the SVG opened in Adobe Illustrator... image

As you can see the grey road borders are rendering in the wrong order. I have them all before the the white roads in the layer order... image

Can you provide us your style.json so I can test it?

sdbernard commented 4 years ago

Sure thing Adam... https://api.maptiler.com/maps/47b20404-cb5f-4244-bb1e-110968bf9fbb/style.json?key=IoyNas5xFwEQfz7OZVzh

The style you provided has different layers then you have in the picture. Do you edit style in QGIS or MapTiler cloud?

sdbernard commented 4 years ago

I edited them in QGIS, but I have them in the correct rendering order, ie the grey road boundaries are all below the white roads. It render fine inside QGIS just not on export of the SVG

Actually plugin uses PyQGIS api to convert GL style to QGIS styling instead of QML style file. I would suggest you to edit your map in Customize tool on MapTiler Cloud, save it and add it to QGIS just to print it. That should prevent any issues with styling.

ahh ok, thanks Adam I'll give that a try

Hi Adam,

So I tried what you suggested and added the road borders in the MapTiler Cloud and the order issue is still there...

Road borders appearing above roads on SVG export... Looks fine in browser and in QGIS [image: image.png]

Hi Adam, so I've come up with a cunning work around which is to have three tile layers (all running from the same style)

Base one has everything in it and the other two just have the road borders and the roads.

My only concern is that it is going to mean I am using three times the number of tiles. But as we're only going to be using it in QGIS and not serving tiles on a website this may not be an issue

If you export to PDF - is it there the same or is the problem related only to SVG? If it is only a problem of SVG you can open it in Adobe Illustrator or another tool and use it as a transfer format instead.

sdbernard commented 4 years ago

Yes it does appear to be an SVG issue, the pdf imported fine apart it splitting text into separate text points for each letter...

Which is more of a headache than the layer order issue!

Hi Steve, unfortunately your image does not display here. As it looks like an SVG issue, is exporting to PDF sufficient solution for you?

sdbernard commented 4 years ago

Hi Adam, unfortunately PDF isn't an option as it separates text objects into individual letters in Illustrator.

I have however, come up with a cunning work around which is to have three tile layers (all running from the same style)

Base one has everything in it and the other two just have the road borders and the roads. [image: roads.jpg]
