<p class=MsoNormal>Dear List,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had to work out how to use and deploy gvSig mobile very
rapidly in a difficult situation so excuse me if I did not have the time to
investigate thoroughly. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have not discovered how to set basic point symbology
parameters in the map legend. The slider does not seem to change the size (or
rather, changing the size in the xml file does not increase the square symbol
size on the map) and I could not understand how to get a filled point symbol. I
could only set the outline colour of a tiny square box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please could you advise me on how to change the symbology?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As a repented Arcpad user I have finally had the pleasure of
putting gvgis mobile into action. I had tried in the past but was unable to
read my shapefiles so I gave up. Now I came to Gambia to support a food
security household survey (with a very large questionnaire running on our own
software) however data collection teams were given high scale (/low quality) maps
at the last moment showing boundaries of enumeration areas, but there was no location
map, so we read the coordinates off the map and put them into gvSig with Google
MapMaker road layers underneath. With this tool the enumerators can find their way
to the correct settlements and identify the enumeration areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any help and tricks on point styles<o:p></o:p></p>
