Figure 3.13: Unique value renderer for birds
Livengood quadrangle in Alaska 6 ), this is a lot of work. The result of
our efforts is shown in Figure 3.16 , on page 58 . A couple of points
about the result. First, the colors don't represent those “standard” for
geologic units—so you geologists out there don't get too excited. The
second point is, if you wanted to make the colors match the standard,
you would have to manually tweak the color for each unit. Let's hope
a future version of QGIS will include support for color ramps, palettes,
and custom styles to make this a bit easier.

conversion to use (see Section 8.3 , Importing an E00 Interchange File, on page 129 for
options).
