Dear QGIS users,
We will be financing two improvements in the atlas serial printing
functions of the print composer:
* ability to order the pages in the multipage PDF based on an attribute
column and sort order
* ability to filter the set of pages (e.g. only print pages for
features with ID 4,6,8) based on an expression
The work will be done by Oslandia, the ones who originally worked on
Atlas serial printing. I just wanted to let you know that someone is
working on it.
The other reason I am contacting you is that I have additional wishes
and ideas for serial printing and reporting which I can't finance now.
One is:
* ability to supply a list of desired map scales and grid spaces for
the mapgrid - Atlas would pick the one scale from the list where the
feature fully fits in. E.g. one would supply the following mapscales:
1000,2000,2500,5000,7500,10000,12500,15000,2000,25000 and grid spaces:
25,30,50,75,100,...
There is already a list of map scales in the project settings. Maybe we
can enhance it with corresponding grid spaces.
Would someone have an interest in financing this feature? If yes,
please contact me.
------------
Further along I want to see QGIS morph into a reporting tool (similar
to Jasper) where one could also print data sheets with photos, tables,
charts, etc. - but directly from QGIS - and also available through QGIS
server through extended GetPrint commands.
Maybe something to discuss in Valmiera at the hackfest.
Best greetings,
Andreas
