Description

Good morning,

(win 7 / QGIS 2.0.1 64b)

The attached image shows a raster (coloured using a spectral colmap, very nice); on top of the raster, a vector layer (from a postGIS base but a quick test with the shp reveals the same issue).

The vector's symbology is attached; the polygons have white background, no border (yes they are adjacent, the topology is broadly correct, adjacent pgones do share the same vertices). Yet, is is possible to see a small gap between the polygon, and see the colour of the raster below. In this specific case it's annoying, because I'm trying to use this layer to mask part of the image below, and I really do not want to se the pgones borders... I would expect (as 1.8 did, I believe) a uniformly white blanket...

Thanks

This is an old issue, but I don't think it was working in qgis 1.8. If I'm not wrong I think that it is not even a qgis issue after all.

Anyway a workaround is to actually use a border line with border width >= 0, with the same color of the polygons, in your configuration you choose "no pen".

You're actually right, it does not work in 1.8 either. I had in mind an old map of me, I must have been using the same workaround already then... or post-processed in illustrator or something perhaps.

Please test with a recent QGIS release (2.18 or 3), if the issue/request is still valid change the affected version accordingly, if is fixed/implemented then close the ticket. Thanks!
