Bug report #13811

Marker line - Negative Line offset moves symbol to the other endpoint

Added by Sandro Santilli about 9 years ago. Updated about 9 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:Normal
Assignee:Sandro Santilli
Category:Symbology

Description

To reproduce:
1. New project
2. Add a simple (2 vertices) LINESTRING -- for example with QuickWKT plugin
3. Go to layer properties, Style TAB
3.1. add Marker line, set "on last vertex only" and "Rotate marker" (should be already set)
3.2. pick an arrow as "Simple marker"
3.3. Change "Line offset" field in Marker placement to a negative number and see how it moves the arrow to the first vertex (from last)

This is likely a misues of GEOS OffsetCurve which is known to return a reversed line on negative offsets

History

#1 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 9 years ago

Confirmed, I've a working patch. While testing it I also found that an offset of -0.0 (negative zero) makes the symbol disappear

#2 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 9 years ago

Patch staged here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2442
If anyone has pointers to add a testcase I think it would be worth it (symbols often break).
Also, I couldn't check if the bug is still present in master.

#3 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 9 years ago

confirmed also master is affected. I'm working on an automated testcase.
