Description

Line offset in symbology is useful when you have a network with several lines superimposing with others.

But it generates artifacts.

The problem is less visible as the scale is getting bigger.

The problem is also encountered when merging all the lines in a single line.

In the attached file, you have the result with offset and without.

History

#1 Updated by Alvaro Huarte about 10 years ago

This may be due because "simplification" of geometries is enabled.

You can disable it -> Layer properties -> Rendering -> un-check "Simplify Geometry"
Or settings -> options -> rendering -> un-check "Enable feature simplification by default"

#2 Updated by mathieu rajerison about 10 years ago

I am under QGIS Dufour and I can not see none of these options.

In layer properties, does rendering refer to "Style". If yes, I can not see "Simplify Geometry"
In the settings > ... > Rendering, I can not see any mention to feature simplification..

My apologies for the confusion, You are right, the simplification will be released in 2.2.

Hi,

I took note that a similar issue had already been opened.

Here is a snapshot with and without simplification and with and without offset, just for illustration.

The object is a single line.

This pull request ( https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1205 ) improves the offset of lines using GEOSOffsetCurve if GEOS 3.3 is available.
