Description

When loading an sld where in the sizes no uom attribute is given, it can be assumed that the output units are "MapUnits". However the output units are by default mm, so this should be adjusted manually.

Since it the output setting can be inferred from the sld, imho it should be automatically set.

Hi,

I checked the SLD 1.1.0 document "05-077r4_OpenGIS_Symbology_Encoding_Implementation_Specification.pdf"

From the page 14:

"If no uom is set inside of Symbolizer, all units are measured in pixel, the behaviour used by SLD 1.0.0."

Exactly! So why has the QGIS-GUI set the ouput to mm?
It should be set to "map units" when you load such an sld.

Hi,

I support your request, because I'm facing this problem when developping a program to export styles from ArcGIS to QGis, passing by a SLD file.
QGis should accept pixel as default unit when loading a SLD.

Different way to do this I Think :
  • offer the possibility to have a global parameter in QGis to set default units for everything : pixel/millimeter/map units
  • treat unit as pixel by default when loading SLD
  • when loading a SLD, propose the user to choose the unit

At AIV , the Flemish Agency of (Geographic) Information, we would like to provide our geospatial data with
an SLD as (software independent) symbolisation file. This is a request from many of our users (government institutions, businesses and citizens)

But we face the same problem: all measures in our SLD's use the default unit 'pixel', but when loading the SLD in QGis (2.16), the assigned units are 'mm'. I would expect QGis to accept pixel as default unit.
