Project: QGIS

Version: 3.24

Feature: Marker/hash line: offsets along line by "percent" of line length (and negative offsets!)

You can now specify the offset along line in percentage for both marker and hash line symbol layer types. (These offsets are treated as percentages of the overall line length).

Additionally, when the offset along line setting for a marker or hash line symbol layer is longer than the size of a closed ring, QGIS will now treat the offset as continuing to loop around the ring. For example, setting the offset to 150% results in the offset being treated as 50% of the length of the closed ring.

Lastly, we also made it possible to specify a negative offset along line for a closed ring. Negative offsets are calculated backwards along the ring.
