New QGIS symbol packages

So far, QGIS does not come with many default symbols. Quite often one just needs two or three colors that go well together. That’s why I created a series of simple fill symbols based on ColorBrewer. They are available on Github QGIS-resources:

7 diverging classes: https://raw.github.com/anitagraser/QGIS-resources/master/symbols/colorbrewer_polygon_diverging_7classes.xml
5 sequential classes: https://raw.github.com/anitagraser/QGIS-resources/master/symbols/colorbrewer_polygon_sequential_5classes.xml

As always, these XMLs can be imported using Style Manager.

Another great addition to QGIS-resources was added this week by user aplannersguide. He shared his styles for osm2pgsql layers:

Hi Underdark, thanks for the color-schemes.
Ok, I have successfully imported these styles with Style manager. But now I dont know how to use them, when I have graduated styles .when I have 5 classes,, I need to select each defined color one after ssssanother from the scheme? (Thats what I do at the moment) Or is there a more convient way to select a complete scheme (5 colors) at once???

thanks
Kurt

  Hi Kurt,
  If you want a graduated style, I’d recommend using one of the pre-made color ramps which I also created based on Colorbrewer: https://underdark.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/more-color-ramps-for-qgis/

Thank you for the great work.
Would it be possible to see them implemented officially in QGIS?

  Thanks Matteo! Yes, that should be possible. I’ll contact the developers about it.
