QGIS used to do this already before the move to Qt4 - however the new QIcon idiom only seems to allow for square icons, therefore it is easier to split the results out to several columns and give them their own QIcons. I can see room for improvement after this commit: 1. Overview and Editing icons can be also shown beside the top-level layer name, to avoid having to enable "Show file groups". 2. There also seems to be a "projection not valid" icon floating around, however this hasn't been addressed in this commit. Perhaps we need to do something for it too. 3. The column sizes have been hard-coded to arbitrary values. I have no problem if these get tweaked further. This commit addresses trac ticket #117. git-svn-id: http://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk@5594 c8812cc2-4d05-0410-92ff-de0c093fc19c
README for QGIS version 0.7 'Seamus'
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is an Open Source Geographic Information System. The
project was born in May of 2002 and was established as a project on
SourceForge in June of the same year. We've worked hard to make GIS
software (which is traditionaly expensive commerical software) a viable
prospect for anyone with basic access to a Personal Computer. QGIS
currently runs on most Unix platforms, Window, and OS X. QGIS is
developed using the Qt toolkit (http://www.trolltech.com) and C++. This
means that QGIS feels snappy to use and has a pleasing, easy to use
graphical user interface.
QGIS aims to be an easy to use GIS, providing common functions and
features. The initial goal was to provide a GIS data viewer. QGIS has
reached that point in its evolution and is being used by many for their
daily GIS data viewing needs. QGIS supports a number of raster and
vector data formats, with new support easily added using the plugin
architecture.
QGIS is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). Devloping QGIS
under this license means that you can (if you want to) inspect and
modify the source code and guarantees that you, our happy user will
always have access to a GIS program that is free of cost and can be
freely modified.
