Hi Frederick,

I have this combination: geoserver (2.0.2) with gwc and
1) QGIS 1.7.0 on WinXP
2) QGIS 1.7.1 on OpenSuse
I access the WMS server with tiled=true and get several tilesets to choose from in QGIS. As you use CutePDF I assume you are on a Windows platform.

Tests (MapComposer with only tiled WMS layer, A0):
1)a) FreePDF: printing takes forever; killed after 40 minutes
1)b) QGIS' pdf button, print as raster ticked: crashes QGIS
2)a) print in pdf: works
2)b) QGIS' pdf button, print as raster ticked: works

so problem confirmed for WinXP

To Giovanni's response:
QGIS 1.7 does not have the option named but the dev-branch (aka 1.8 in OSGEO-Install) has geoserver with gwc is not recognized as a tiled WMS when connecting to it, so the "tilesets" tab stays greyed out, however if you append tiled=true to the WMS-server's URL the tiles are offered. Maybe this is different if you run tilecache on your WMS-server

best wishes

Hi Giovanni,

thanks for the quick response. This is exactly what I thought could be the 
issue. But there are a few things which I don't understand:

1. The map tiles are provided by a geoservers GWC. When I add the layer to e.g. 
uDig, the printing process works great. It's nice and fast (about 10 secs for 
ISO-A0).
2. I don't have the input-fields for width and height when I add a layer but 
I'm using qGIS 1.7.0 Wroclaw
3. Is it a general problem that qGIS is requesting a big tile instead of many 
small tiles when printing? If not, the problem has to be somewhere else...

Has anyone had this problem with this software combination (qGIS 1.7 and GWC)?

Best,
Freddy

Hi Freddy,

many standard WMS servers do not allow to download images bigger than a
certain size, this is the reason why there are usually no problems to
create a large size layout on screen (because it is at 72dpi) but then
it results in a blank image when printing or exporting to pdf (at high
resolutions).

Since qgis 1.7 when connecting to a WMS server you can manually set the
maximum "tile" size to be requested. This allow to overcome the server
limits.

This option is not available (as it does not makes sense) when the
server is recognized as a tilecache one (the layers are shown in the
"tilesets" tab).

Cheers

Hi list,

I have a major problem creating ISO-A0 size plots with QuantumGIS and
a Tileset-layer.

When I add the layer to the project with the ?tiled=true attribute,
the navigation within the map-window is nice and fast and the look is
really good. When I create plot-template and use an external pdf
creator (CutePDF writer) it only works good for formats smaller or
equal than ISO-A2. Any  plot of a bigger format results in an empty
plot (at least the raster-layer isn't plotted, all added vector
elements such as legend, northing, border etc. is plotted). I had a
look at geoservers log to check for any errors resulting from
insufficient memory or else with no result. Everything seems to have
worked fine according to the log file.

Has anyone had this kind of problem as well or does anybody have a
workaround for that?

Best,
Freddy
