Rainer,

could be true, perhaps there is already s.th. for that.
I didn't use QGIS for longer time, but I know a bit about WMS...

Rainer,

Thanks Till for the explanation below.

I think it would be a good idea to add away of retrievin g the URL
directly from the WMS layer in QGIS - that would make the whole
process a little bit easier.

Cheers

Rainer


it is not difficult to build the getmap request on your own. Take this as an
example and apply this to your WMS:

You can pick the Bbox coordinates from your QGIS window, then put the
request in a browser to check:

This is an example:
http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0?LAYERS=basic&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-5.625,45,0,50.625&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

So change the URL[http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0]  (that what you put
in QGIS), then the
layers [*basic*]
srid [4326]
bbox [-5.625,45,0,50.625]

Parameters to your WMS, and probably the width & height to get a bigger
image -
that's it,

Regards, Till

Hi

I am using a WMS layer, and would like to export the layer, as I see
it after zooming, from QGIS to a picture format.

Is there a way of either exporting from QGIS, or obtaining the URL
request, so that I can use wget to download it externally?

Thanks,

Rainer
 P.S: I am using Linux (Ubuntu Hardy)
