How to overlap two layers of points with different size

Geographic Information Systems Asked by nicolax9777 on November 5, 2020

I am new in QGIS. Here is my problem :

I have two layers of points. In these two layers, my points have different degrees or size :

  1. For the layer 1, the point “a” has a size of 3, and the point “b” has a size of 8. The color of these two points is red.

  2. For the layer 2, the point “a” has a size of 5, and the point “b” has a size of 2. The color of these two points is green.

Problem : When I overlap these two layers, then if I place the layer 1 first, we won’t be able to the see point “b” of the layer 2. Conversely, if I place the layer 2 first, we won’t be able to the see point “a” of the layer 1.

To fix the problem, I tried to go on : “Propriété de la couche” -> “Symbologie” -> “Rendu de couche” -> “Entité” and I choose “Multiplier”, to make points translucent, but the results are not satisfying me.

Is there a way to overlap these layers so that we place the points whose size is the smallest, above the points of larger size, despite their belonging to two different layers?

There's a tiny option button next to the size parameter in the symbology tab. You can choose "Edit..." and pick the attribute which will give the point the size you want.

In french it's called 'Definition de donnée imposée', click 'Editer...' and choose your "size" attribute in the 'Constructeur de chaine d'expression'.
